Profile
Australia has found the most exciting fast bowling prospect in Mitchell Johnson. The Queenslander is tall, fit and most importantly, a talented left-armer. Encouraging comments like "a once in a generation bowler" from Australian great Dennis Lillee shows the potential this young gun represents. The youngster made an impact on international cricket in an ODI at Malaysia where he ran through the Indian batting line-up. He followed it with a series of good performances against India and Sri Lanka in his debut Test series. The quickie has the potential to clock deliveries around the 140-150 kph mark and has the great ability to swing the ball both ways. He is a good bowler in the death overs and has the knack of striking blows at crucial junctures. Johnson has an active role to play in the new Aussie pace generation. If the talented seamer keeps on improving his performances, he is sure to take Australia to greater heights in the near future.
