Who do you think should play as the 4th bowler behind Lee, McGarth and Warne?

I voted for Mitchell Johnson, but for the other tests I would have Stuart MacGill. Also, I think Shane Watson will be the 5th bowling option and bat at #6.

Yeah Watson doesn't really apply to this poll, as he won't be picked as a bowler.

I'd go for Johnson at Brisbane and the MCG, with MacGill at Adelaide, Perth and Sydney.

Despite how good Johnson is proving to be, I think Australia would want to go with two spinner in their attack so I voted for MacGill.

MacGill for sure.

Watson to bat @ 6 and MacGill to come into his own in WA and Sydney.

I think they should give Johnson a go at the Gabba but definately go with MacGill in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth.

I voted for Johnson because I'd like to see him get a go. I think in reality it will come down to Bracken or Clark, both of whom won't do as good a job as MacGill.

And Mick Lewis, not Mike. The great man would be offended.

I'd go with Johnson, but I'd give MacGill a go in at least Sydney, if not also other venues.

Part of the reason is because I wouldn't pick Watson because I think he's rubbish.

Id pick Macgill with Watson to be honest. Macgill IMO is a better bowler than Bracken and Clark combined and Johnson still needs to prove himself a little bit more. Id have Watson because he deserves a run in the test side for his batting, and while his bowling isnt great, he would certainly be a decent option if Brisbane or on of the other pitches ends up being a seamer's paradise. Well better than not having a third seamer at all.

Damn, I'd change my vote to Tait after today's display. 3-12 at one point, and should have been 4-12 (Giles was SO plumb). Admittedly the Poms were having their first hit out of the tour, but in conditions that didn't assist swing at all, he made their openers and captain look like gooses. For the psych factor alone has to be seriously considered - nothing like comprehensively beating the opposition captain to knock out his middle stump!
