What if Mitchell Johnson gets injured?

Really I think the main thing is what if he doesn't get injured. What if we get to Perth with Siddle, Harris and Johnson all still bowling well, and James Pattinson is fit again - would we buy into our own hype, drop Lyon and go the four man attack, or would Pattinson stay on the sidelines?

if johnsons was to bowl well at radelaide and everyone was fit, yeah 4 man babeh

From what I've heard Pattinson won't actually be ready by Perth, they're saying 'hopefully' he'll be back into full bowling by the end of the year. He's playing as a specialist batsman in grade atm.

As for the 4 man pace attack I doubt it, unless it's a real hard slog at Adelaide or something but everyone's still in form, because bounce is one of Lyon's best assets it's probably still worth picking him at Perth

Faulkner in for Bailey will help share the load for Roadelaide*.

The last thing that we need is an all-pace attack, particularly with Watson in the side. Seriously, we have a very good spin bowler in Lyon, who has been proven time and time again and people still want to drop him because he's not Shane Warne? Get a grip!

Will the Aussies be able to dominate the series if MJ gets injured?

In a word.... NO.
