I went to bed at lunch last night.
Mitchell Johnson was despondent.
His opening spell went for close enough to 9 an over.
He didn’t bowl rubbish, be bowled actual bile.
At the time he clearly thought it was his grip that was the problem.
I suggested it was his head.
After tea Ponting decided to throw him the ball back.
He had probably had a couple of counselling sessions in between.
As he decided that he bowls his best with a smile on his face.
And 4/10 in 8 overs proves the dude has da mad skillz.
But, there are bad signs in what he said as well.
He claimed to have thought about it more.
No Mitchell, no thinking, not now not ever.
You have natural ability, but you’re not a thinker, your brain restricts your ability, you are like a boxer with knockout hands who spends all his time trying to out jab his opponent.
Last night, Mitchell swung away.
There are bad and good things to come of this.
The good, maybe he can bowl with a red ball, and he will be the left armer Australia has been searching for since Alan Davison.
The bad, 4/10 will buy him another ten test matches to see whether above is right.
Just when I had him so close to a 5 year absence he sucks em back in Mitchell.
Mitchell, either get wickets, or fuck off, I can’t stand you doing neither.www.cricketwithballs.com
