Mitchell Johnson, the Australia fast bowler, has been ruled out of cricket for "five to six months" after undergoing surgery on the big toe of his left foot in Melbourne. He sustained the injury while batting in the second Test at the Wanderers in South Africa earlier this month. Not only will he miss the home season as a result, but also the tour to the West Indies in March and April next year.
"Mitchell sustained a severe injury to ligaments, commonly referred to as 'Turf Toe', when batting in the second Test in South Africa," Cricket Australia doctor Trefor James said in a release. "Although lesser degrees of this injury can be managed without surgery, Mitchell's injury was a severe form and surgery was clearly the best option. I would expect Mitchell to be able to return to cricket in five to six months."

I don't think so...Starc, Cummins, Siddle and Pattinson will be more than a handful...The only saving grace is the OZ spinners are weak!!! 8-)

Is war Westdem! As a GT banna i know used to say: "Who aint hurt, badly wounded, and we cant afford to tek no prisoners". So let dem drop like flies, I aint gonna shed any tears. You think dem upset if Gayle and de wicb board still at loggerheads and so he remains unavailable for selection? Sh1t no.

Where have you been? WI fans were praying for injured players on the opposing teams for the last 10 years.
