    Can't say I'm a huge fan of the no ball review on each wicket.
    (although it did cost Warnie his only test 100).
    Having said that though eat a dick Ben Stokes hahahahahahahahaha.

    Johnson delivers on a decent batting pitch

    Same old story with Johnson. He actually bowls a beautiful line to left handlers and gets decent movement but his only hope with righties is the wide ball outside off that gets edged to 5th slip.
    When he fell apart in England the pommy bats were way too patient and left everything across that line. Now because of their position and the very tidy work from Harris, Siddle and (gulp!) Watson they feel the need to go after him. Bell (Poms best bat by far) still plays him quite easily.
    He's in their heads now, and good on him.

    But he has a gift. He bowls balls that get wickets. He may not necessarily deserve them but he throws them in at a great rate. Siddle on the other hand doesn't have the same gift despite bowling much better 98% of the time he just doesn't get the breaks Johnson does

    Yeah totally agree and that was my point. Johnson is benefitting from the work of others just like Macgill, Gillespie and lee (Brett not Shane) did back in the day. But that's exactly why he is there and he is doing his job. As a bowler he hasn't changed much since the day he started. It's just that at the moment the pressure from other bowlers is helping him.
    When coaches talk about bowling units and bowling plans this is exactly what they mean.
    Also, Siddle has a gift of completely screwing with Pietersens head, which is ****ing awesome.

    I'm still here.
    You're still a flog. Takes a real keyboard warrior to bring up an 11 month old post.

    You conveniently forgotten that Swann was the leading wicket taker in the UK series earlier in the year? Just because he is a wanker with the most punchable chin in cricket, doesn't mean he's a pie chucker.

    I think we should start seeing other people.
    You can have the house, kids and car. I'll have the crockery and matchbox car collection.

    I'm just glad Marcus North hasn't seen my 11 month old post wanting Warner to bat 6.

    Fvck that. The house, the kids and the car all cost money. The matchbox car collection doesn't whinge when I come home drunk after the football either.
