Mitchell Johnson Complete Bio & Career

One fine day, Rodney Marsh received a phone call from Dennis Lillee, who spoke to him about an exciting prospect, a 17-year-old left-arm fast bowler from Queensland - Mitchell Guy Johnson. Over the years, Mitch has come a long way and is now one of the key weapons of the Aussie pace bowling department. 
 
Johnson's stock delivery for right-handers is the one that moves away at an awkward angle. His ability to extract extra bounce on any given wicket adds to his armoury against the left-handers while he also tries to cramp them by bringing the ball back in. The top-order batsmen from the sub-continent have often succumbed to the magic of this 'once in a lifetime prospect' (as termed by Dennis Lillee). 
 
Though often criticised for his waywardness, Johnson still remains one of the best left-arm bowlers in the modern era, more so because of his ability to cover up his weakness by bowling those unplayable deliveries. Johnson was a part of the Australian squad during The 2006 Ashes but never featured in the playing XI. However, when the opportunity knocked his doors, he welcomed it with a red carpet. Taking 4/96 in his debut game against Sri Lanka, Johnson showed glimpses of things to come. 
 
Johnson had an up and down 2013. Before the third Test against India in March 2013, Australia dropped him, along with James Pattinson, Shane Watson and Usman Khawaja following a breach of discipline. After that he was subsequently dropped for the Ashes in 2013. But he did well in the sixth edition of the IPL for Mumbai, providing them early breakthroughs. He troubled most batsmen with his pace and bounce and looked the Johnson of old.
