Mitchell Starc replaces Mitchell Johnson for fourth Test against India
Mitchell Starc has replaced Mitchell
Johnson in the Australian eleven for
the Sydney Test against India, which
is the only change in the home-team
line-up for the fourth and final Test
which begins on 6th January.
Johnson was ruled out of the Sydney
game after he complained of a right
hamstring soreness. Australia decided
to rest him for the match, not
wanting to take any chances with
their pace spearhead ahead of the
ODI tri-series involving India and
England, and the ICC Cricket World
Cup 2015.
Australia captain, Steve Smith, who
announced the eleven in a media
conference a day before the fourth
Test, admitted that Johnson would
have "probably" played in Sydney
had the series been alive. "He's got a
little hamstring strain. I think there's
no secret there's a pretty big summer
coming up. We want him to be fresh
for the one-dayers and World Cup
coming up."
