Precisely. That is why I felt that Cameron White and not Mitchell Johnson should have been chosen. White would have been a natural replacement for Watson, while Johnson thus far has been a complete fish out of the water. With Stuat Clark and Shaun Tait ahead of him to fill that flexible bowling spot, Johnson has no place at all in the team.
