They've both been as valuable as each other.  Hopefully they can share it.

In 7 innings this series, Brad Haddin has made it to at least fifty six times.

The only man that can challenge Johnson for MOTS and another key innings here, love you brad.
Surely he's MOTS. Has continually made runs and at critical times. One could argue that Johnson hasn't had as big of an impact as his stats are inflated by getting tail enders out.
Yeah agree, Johnson has picked up a lot of tail-enders from what I've seen. Might check out how many top 7 wickets he's taken.

Haddin however, has been lucky. THer has been a few times this series where he was dropped very early in his innings. :\ And he probably will get lost in the Johnson hype, but all he really did was mentally scar the English side in the first test and the first innings in Adelaide, it was also after Haddin had done the hard work to get the runs. Since Adelaide, correct me if I'm wrong, he's been just like the other bowlers, maybe a couple of wickets ahead.

I can't see them sharing it, even though it's probably the right thing to do.

Johnson's been the messiah, so to speak. They won't ignore his cult like status.

17 if I counted right. However wickets are still wickets, we've seen how valuable the Aussie tail has been this series. I personally think Haddin has been much more valuable, but Mitchy will probably get it.

His ability to clean the tail is one of the reasons for our success.  Look at England struggling to go through our tail. England's tail on paper is actually a lot better than ours

First decent thing you've said all series. ;) That is very very true, England's tail looks very strong but has been made to look terribly!
