I think England's performance had a lot more to do with the fact that Warne and McGrath were actually really good, and quite difficult to bat against, tbh.
Either way though, Copeland and Dave Hussey do not have the same fear factor as Warne and McGrath. If anything, I'd think England would fear Johnson and Clarke getting back to their best a lot more than they'd fear a 33 year old debutant and a man with 8 First Class games under his belt.
Yeah obviously, but there were still significant effects of 'aura' etc. on their performance imo. The England touring Australia this time has a genuine level of confidence they haven't had in a long time.
In terms of the bowling line-up though, I think England would be extremely happy to see the same one as last time. I really doubt they would be afraid of Johnson returning to his best, they would probably be thrilled to see him in the line-up tbh. Harris, Copeland, Bollinger and O'Keefe looks far more intimidating to me.
On another topic though, there are hints Johnson playing in Adelaide by the sounds of it:
"No doubt when players don't get a result they look at the scoreboard, and the reason we're talking about Mitch is he's got no wickets on the scoreboard," said Nielsen.
"He didn't bowl as well as he would have liked and that's our job over the next couple of days to make sure we get him back up and going.
"At different times there have been a lot of players who haven't performed in one Test match and then have come out and upped the ante to do as well as they need to do to have an impact, and that's the challenge of a five-day Test match.
"We all identify that he didn't have the best game, there were times when we let it get away, not as an individual but as a bowling group, and when that happens one guy usually gets exposed, and Mitch is the one we're talking about."
