2nd Test - Tait or Johnson?

Who do you think the selectors will go with?
I'm tipping an unchanged line-up but Johnson isn't a certainty anymore and despite what Ponting said I don't think he bowled that well.

Thoughts?

Johnson. He was stiff not to get more wickets.
The 5 balls leading up to the 2nd Kumble dismisal were beautiful.

Bowled a reasonable spell against the tail in the second innings, but aside from that I thought he wasn't good either

Ponting looked after his stats letting him get a few of the tail. I'd have Tait in the side

Gotta stick with Johnson. Match figures of 3 for 46 off 28 overs or something like that. If they want to leave him all day then thats fine it just means they have to try and score off Lee and Clarke. He also showed fantastic signs going around the wicket I thought. Left armers bowling around the wicket to right handers at 145km an hour who can take the ball away from the bat are just about unheard of. He was close to unplayable at times on the last day. Tait will get his go eventually but Johnson will get better with every game he plays.

I loved the way Ponting handled Hogg, Symonds and Johnson. Boosting up the confidence of the players and allowing them to get some results that they deserved. Johnson and Hogg were both unlucky not to have better figures in the first innings so I was happy to see them get some reward.

Tait will again be 12th man. Johnson played well, and I can't see them changing the set up that worked so well last match.

[Topdog]

He wasn't great for the most part but he gained a lot of confidence and was very good towards the end.

Tait is going to have to wait for another chance.

Johnson has the potential to be something really special for Australia.

5 for 120 odd isn't a good position for us. Need both Gilchrist and Symonds to get half centuries.
