The Australian management took the decision, as Johnson did not travel to the Sydney Cricket Ground for the first training session, complaining of hamstring soreness.The Sydney Test, the last of the 4-match series, will begin on Tuesday.The management said, it took the cautious approach in view of the 50-over World Cup which will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand next month.Johnson was the only frontline pacer for the hosts in the first three Tests. He bagged 13 wickets in 6 innings. Australia won the first two Tests, while the third game ended in a draw.The management is hopeful that Johnson will make a comeback in the tri-nation ODI series, also involving India and England, which will be played just prior to the World Cup.
