And I dont agree with any of that
McGraths record in the West Indies shows that up and down tall right hand quicks like him do find the Carribean pitches favorable, and probably the closest bowler Australia has in style to him "Stuart Clark" will also.

As for Bracken and Johnson I think the facts that they are both Left hand tall medium fast bowlers draws a lot of simularities in itself.
