Johnson - I've done what I can

Mitchell Johnson says he couldn't have done more over the last year to force his way into Australia's Test side after being named in the 13-man squad for the first Test against Sri Lanka.

Before that match, which is at the Gabba from next Thursday, he has the chance to impress in the second warm-up match at Allan Border Field on Friday.

"I think I've done what I can over in India and over the past 12 months or so," he told Sportal.com. "It is out of my control but my fingers are crossed."

He faces an anxious wait to see if he made the final cut ahead of fellow fast bowler Shaun Tait but being the only left-arm pace bowler in the squad may help. He also impressed in India recently, where he was the leading wicket taker with 14 at an average of 18.57 including a five-for.

But Johnson, who has yet to make his Test debut, has been here before: this time last year he was waiting to see if he would get the nod for the Ashes ahead of Stuart Clark. He lost out then and his wait for a Test continues.

"I don't want to get my hopes up and be too confident but deep down I'm hoping."
