Johnson definitely out.
Will be out of Bollinger, Harris and Hilfenhaus for the last 2 spots.
Personally I hope Bollinger and Harris are the ins.

Apparently Ponting was over ruled in dropping Johnson.
With all the bagging of the selectors, they've made the right call here, BUT, 2 questions need to be asked.
How much power has Ponting had at the selection table over Hilditch in the past, given we've all been crying out for change but the same under performing clowns get picked..........AND
Reports are suggesting that Greg Chappell over ruled Hilditch and Ponting.
IS this an indication that Greg Chappell is surely the BEST man to select the RIGHT Australian teams for the next few years.
Chappell picked the right lads when he was last a selector and we needed to blood younger players, like we do now.
I think so.

Big deal
We got days one and two on TV
Unless Hough has changed the deck, this Test will be a boring battingfest for 3 days
The only days worth watching might end up being Monday and Tuesday when it becomes a conTEST

8 results last 10 tests at Adelaide
2 draws the past 3 tests
The curators have to wake up now, Warne/Mcgrath/Lee/Gillespie/Clark + co coincidently mostly or all retired b4 the last 3 Tests
Had this current attack bowled on silimlar decks it would not be 8 results it would be about 2 -3 results
Dunno what sorta deck Hough will produce, but if its the same old same old it will be a batting extravaganza for the first 3 days AGAIN
