Way to 300 wickets this summer !!



From his first wicket in test cricket to 270th Test wicket this young lad has come a long way.

33 isn't considered young for a tear away fast bowler. But for a bowler who has refined his technique, found his strength in the gym and wickets in the middle. That's a young bowler at the age of 33 for World Cricket who has traumatised the batsmen in past 12 months.

I can't think of a bowler making a comeback and being so feared and respected at the same time.

Sending half a dozen batsmen to hospital with his sheer pace bowling.

Having taking over 50 wickets in past 3 test series against mighty England, strong South Africans & skilful Pakistan, Johnson is enjoying cricket the best he has so far.

1st wicket at 145kmph to his last Wicket at 140+ kmph Mitchell enjoys bowling with full throttle at his age. He is like a blend of scotch which has been created and refined over the years to be one of the finest in the trade of fast bowling.

Mitchell Johnson would be waiting to turn on the heat this summer for Indians when they come out to bat at Adelaide Oval.

30 wickets shy of 300 looks like a long wait but for this tear away quick, 30 wicket will happen in a space of 8 innings. He will have his first crack at Indian batsmen after returning to his new himself!!
