I spoke a few days too early. What we saw today is what we all know he can do. Pity we don't see it more often. It's all up the Johnson now, we need him to follow this up in the 2nd innings and for the rest of the series.



Agree
Today he showed why he is one of the most frustrating cricketers to don a baggy green
We all know what he is capable of
Agree we need to follow his progress in the next 12 months

For anyone that didn't see it at the time check out the hihglights of what Mitchell Johnson did to South Africa in '09 in just one session:

Always happy to be proven wrong by anyone wearing the Baggy Green. Well done Mitchell Johnson. Needs to do it a couple more times in the series though as a one off a la Peter Siddle won't cut it.

regards,

Must say i have to give credit to the selectors and everyone involved in how they have handled MJ form slump,

obviously he needed the rest and a chance to work closely on technique issues.

Interesting arm chair pundits pillory the selections of Hughes and Johnson...

Now, it's just about Hughes... should never play again according to some f**kwits...
