Mitchell Johnson’s Nightmare
It seems Mitchell Johnson‘s tour is not going well and this article in the Daily Mail is a good bit of fun. This is the first couple of paragraphs.
A low-grade rumble went round The Oval on Sunday afternoon. It was the sound of schadenfreude, which until then had always felt like a concept, not a noise. But Mitchell Johnson had just overstepped in his first over – and few things titillate an English crowd more than a Johnson transgression.
Johnson is usually a self-contained problem, a pet project that Cricket Australia keeps telling us is almost there (and God help the rest of the world when he finally cracks it). But on Sunday he was symptomatic. And it was curious to watch.
There’s a lot more in the same vein.
The English Team is my Favourite Pommy Team for Forty Years . . . Great Bowlers, Smart Strategies & Tactics, Steady Batting & Sharp Fielding . . . now for the punch line . . .
Once the Aussies, get their Issues sorted out : too much State selections vs best selections . . . to much who you know . . . not Talent . . . remember Monty Python and English Class Games . . .
This great English Team, playing Cricket as it should be played . . . deserve to play against a better Aussie Team . . . it will happen sooner, than later.

The last one-dayer is this week, then it’s the South Africans for a Test series.
