Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2155953, member: 1828"] Agreed, and I spose if we want to play the extra quick we should be able to cope alright with the combination of part-timers in there. Symonds definately helps, no doubt. There's a few different faces i'd love to see get a start, but I think we should remain pretty much unchanged for the start of the season at least and give the team the chance to right a few wrongs after a deflating and demanding tour. But with India behind us and some hard Aussie decks in the waiting, i'm keen to see a huge improvement from Johnson this summer. Mark Waugh made a point the other day that has been obvious for a while that plenty of Johnson's wickets are coming from ordinary deliveries and he's still going for runs. Clearly he has talent and when he gets it absolutely right he can be hugely effective, but we are yet to him iron out his flaws since he came onto the international scene. Apart from the issue of his at times erratic line he still hasn't shown any sign of getting the seam coming down [i]anywhere near[/i] upright, giving him no assistance of the surface and no swing whatsoever - which apart from natural angle can be the most effective weapon of a left armer. He really needs to start improving in that department or we may as well give Bollinger a go, cause a good left armer will be very handy for us in England. [/QUOTE]
