Mitchell Johnston was always that player, for ages, the one with all the talent and ability that didn't put it together on the day. When it finally clicked for him, and he found his full destructive capabilities as you described in your article, we got a glimpse of one of the best. Starc is the closest we have at the moment for Australia, and Archer seems to be in this mould for England.

Bowling is very much about partnerships and especially for a guy like Johnson who is going to be aggressive but might also leak runs it’s about having someone at the other end to counter that. Had he have had more time in the Warne/McGrath era I think Mitch would have found his mojo that bit earlier but Australia’s attack wasn’t great post 2008.
A lot of credit for Johnson’s success in the 13/14 series can go to Ryan Harris who was the perfect foil for him
