You aint moving Smith, Clarke or Marsh on this form are you?
Is his only chance to open with Warner (two sloggers isnt a stereotypical pairing). Or do you move Marsh up to open and put Watson at 5?
If fit, his bowling has been great, and there is no way in hell Johnson is going to keep tearing through everyone (regression to the mean etc etc etc).
Got home and watched most of Doolans knock last night. Am yet to be convinced. Did stick it out and post a score but not exactly sure how he does it. Doesn't seem to have any shots that he owns ( hard to remember a couple of blazing on drives or great square cuts etc) and looks pretty iffy on the pull.

Good on him for getting in there and taking his chance but at this stage I have some concerns about him long term particularly at 3
