President of the Australian selection lists, Andrew Hilditch, does not think Mitchell Johnson fell to the side for the next test series in South Africa. Johnson was eliminated from the Twenty20 team in South Africa next month, but had kept a day's clothing, while the test team has been appointed.
Depending on when Cricket Australia has appointed its new voters could be the test of the party has not opted for the interim board chaired by Hilditch. Johnson was far from his best during the recent tour of Sri Lanka, but it has the situation in South Africa where he threw the ball and finds the awkward jump in the previous round of testing in early 2009.
"In Twenty20 cricket, I think his form has not been the best," said Hilditch. "Mitch is disappointed. Obviously, I spoke with him about it. Sri Lanka was hard for him. The reality is that not everything we wanted in Sri Lanka. They were very difficult for him and the way he bowls.
"Probably the best she had upset against South Africa three years ago when we played there and won. I think going forward with the conditions of South Africa and I think it will do very well. From my point of view, is not under any threat at all [to fall in the side test]. "
The Twenty20 squad does not come with the offspinner Nathan Lyon, who made his name in the format of South Australia last summer. Lyon made his debut Test in Sri Lanka and will probably keep its place for testing in South Africa, but the selectors instead went to Steve O'Keefe and Steven Smith in the next T20.
"Currently we are focusing on him in Test match cricket," Hilditch said Lyons. "But of course he wants to push his way to be part of all three forms of the game. We are very pleased with how he went to Sri Lanka. We're just not sure it is ready and tough enough to play three forms of the international game, so we will concentrate on the cricket Test match at this time.
"As it becomes more accustomed to the harsh routine of international cricket, I'm sure you want to push to play in three ways. Do not think it's a healthy thing is to have three spinners in three different ways to play, as they are all working hard and all of them international experience, so it's good. "
The squad is likely to be the last, with the possible exception of the test squad in South Africa, selected by Hilditch and his panel. He said it was one of the most exciting he had chosen, with the inclusion of two teenagers: Mitchell Marsh and Pat Cummins.
"I think this is one of the most exciting squad we have ever said," Hilditch said. "You have not seen the young players of this type of opportunity to be a team that included Patrick Cummins for 18 years to play two ways to play for Australia fast bowler with the potential for large -.. is very exciting.
"Mitchell, Marsh is just a Twenty20 team, but to push hard for a day, as well as a team. These young players we think can be the masters of the game and that's what we're trying to find right now.
"We are all very excited, as a sign of what we just did, I think most of these young -. I've never been part of the selection of such a young team like this, and the choice of a squad that has many players talented young people. These young people are ready to go, and it's great. I think that was long ago we were in this position in international cricket and there are still many good young players who are not on the team that deserves this opportunity. "
