Mitch Johnson

[courtjester]

The Durban Test was Johnson's 20th, and between Tests 11 and 20 he has prised out 51 wickets - more than Ray Lindwall, Dennis Lillee or Glenn McGrath, more than any Australian quick in all Test history.

Big achievement... to average 5 per test is a testament to his improvement.

However, not to diminish his achievements, but you have to factor in the lack of depth of talent in Aussie bowling over that time (perhaps apart from siddle in the last 5 tests who has taken about 25 himself).

Also he's had a few tracks which have really aided him, especially in SA. Great that he keeps smashing muppet's hand. Bonus points there. Funny that they haven't got anyone hostile enough to smash our hands. Steyn not strong enough. Morkel's a big girl.

Let's not forget he bowled on those flat pitches in India during that stint too, so credit where credit's due
