I said the other day that Mitchell Johnson is becoming the best fast bowler in the world.
I didn't feel good saying it.
But i just had a feeling.
I put him in my fantasy league as the trump player.
I didn't expect this.
5 wickets in 5 overs with an old ball that wasn't reversing.
That is hardcore.
He has taken the spleen out of South Africa.
A South Africa that looked so comfortable that finishing the day 3 wickets down seemed the most logical.
It came from no where.
Ponting had ketp Krejza on for hours, even though it had been a long time since he looked like taking a wicket.
Siddle and Lee both bowled ok, but they just never looked like breaking through.
Johnson just came on and got the job done.
5 wickets in like 20 something balls.
It was brutal, quick, and deadly.
There were off cutters, short balls, slower balls and whatever Paul Harris did.
All done with a soft ball.
Brilliant.
I have bagged Johnson alot, especially when he was getting a game ahead of shield players who had out performed him, but the little lost boy has become a man, and then some.
