Mitchell Johnson and the turnaround of his cricketing fortunes between the Ashes of 2010/11 and 2013/14 is one of the most memorable stories in the history of the game. In this video, we look at how he went from the victim of the barmy army to the chief enforcer, and series winner, for the Australia Cricket Team.

Hey guys, just letting you know that there’s a couple of small errors in the numbers flashed on screen during this video. Mitchell Johnson’s match bowling figures for the Adelaide and Perth tests were 8/113 and 6/140 respectively. Still impressive performances, but not what was on screen. My bad, I must have gone cross-eyed looking at my notes 🥴 Shoutout to @patrickmclary7342 who picked up on this. Cheers for watching!

@McWhatevs Год назад

It's not the wickets I remember from *that* Ashes series in Australia. It's the deliveries under the ribs and hitting the hands that softened them up for the wickets that I recall the most.

@mytwosense9135 Год назад

My dad used to say Thommo & Ambrose were the 2 most terrifying bowlers he'd ever watched. When Johnson came onto the scene, my father said that if he could learn better control, he'd be just as lethal. My dad passed away before the '13 - '14 Ashes but I know he would've loved every second of Mitch destroying an entire nation's hopes.

The crowd in England really got to Mitchell Johnson he was affected so much he could not bowl, he was undoubtedly a very good bowler but that crowd wore him down, i have heard people say it was Un sportsman like, but if you agree with sledging then Australians should also agree crowd participation is also part of the game.

@ashishnair12 10 месяцев назад

1 thing which hasn't been mentioned in this video is his IPL stint before that Ashes. MI used him predominantly as a new ball wicket taker to just run in, bowl quick, swing it & pick wickets while not having to worry about bowling at the death. There were many a times when MJ blew away oppositions in the powerplay swinging it at 150kmph. The Ashes in England was just after this tour & when he wasn't selected I knew it was a big mistake as evident in the T20 series vs England where he was bowling 155kmph rockets. Then later in 2013 he came back to India for a 7 match ODI series & on those tracks where 350 was getting chased down regularly he was the best bowler on either side due to his sheer pace. He was summoned back to Australia before the series deciding 7th ODI where Rohit got 200 to prepare for the Ashes & even though I couldn't have imagined the impact that he would eventually have, I knew that he was going to have a great series which he did. I only watched that Ashes for MJ because of the sheer thrill he brought while bowling in that series.

@HairyBogTrotter Год назад

English fans also had a sign at the end of that Ashes series "Mitchell Johnson, thanks for the Ashes". Spiteful, unsporting and petty stuff from a group of supporters that usually bring a great atmosphere to the game. Then that comeback. Bloody hell. Johnson was absolutely rampant. Kevin Pietersen describes in his book how some English batsmen were afraid to leave the dressing room. A cracking tale, expertly told. Well done!

@zerocontent6890 Год назад

@@patrickkelly7085 Sandpaper gate is only remarkable in the fact that it was done in the age of HD cameras, which was truly stupid. Ball tampering had been going on forever by all teams. Bottlecaps, scissors, all sorts of creams and so on have been used and are still used by bush leagues where you can get away with it. It's funny isn't it how reverse swing is not really a thing anymore in the modern age where cameras are always following the ball. England also seems to have lost a lot of their remarkable swing even with the Duke balls.

@adam872 Год назад

MJ was brutal in that summer. I thought he was just as hostile, if not more so in the away series against the Saffers. Absolutely terrifying. There were a couple of deliveries he bowled to Graeme Smith and Faf du Plessis that would turn the players in the pavilion as a white as a sheet. Can we also just reflect on how good a bowling coach DK is/was? Not only is he one of the best quicks of all time, but he's able to pass that knowledge on to others. What a legend.

@siddharthaksrivastava1616 11 месяцев назад

Let me add few of the things that I remember apart from those 37 english wk and 22 South Africans wk later. U just can’t forget the way he bowled in 2013 in ipl where he swung the ball with deadly pace and those odi’s in 2013 after ashes against eng there he showed his pace too and then the last series that he played in ind before ashes where he almost destroyed 2 careers one of UV and other of raina. He went for runs for sure but who didn’t in that epic series but he was by far the best in that series. All these performances were enough to tell what was about to happen in tests after his return. He might not be the best but it can be said he was the most intimidating bowler of his time for sure. Salute to the efforts and to the comeback he made, records might concur but those who saw u they’ll remember u for their lifetime…

@Jason-vj2io Год назад

Outstanding story telling in every facet! As an aside I’ve watched Cricket for 45 years and there is no doubt that in the time behind Lillie and McGrath & Warne if you were picking a team to play the best ever World 11 in that of that era … Thommo, Lee or Johnson would be the choice … to bowl 12-15 overs of sheer pace … it’s a decent bowling line up!

@walover165 Год назад

Yeah nah, ur right mate, Straya & the Poms have that sporting rivalry, like Straya & our siblings across the ditch is fierce no matter the sport & unlike any other two nations. I do tho remember in that classic 5-0 series with us taking all 100 wickets that the Poms actually got so arse hurt over a sign at the Gabba that read: "If you can't Cook & You're a bad Root Then your Broad will cheat". They also said they found it offensive that we were calling them Poms & considering we've call them Poms for 200+ years that it was hilarious to see they were living up to their nickname us Aussie's gave them "The Whinging Poms"

I also remember him being coached into trying to focus on swinging the ball consistently, because he had one or two great games moving the ball in the air (one aided by breeze). Which kind of didnt go with his game. The more he tried to swing, the more his action deteriorated. Once he found his own game and was allowed to play it, it all clicked into place.
