Mitchell Johnson: Lehmann or Klusener?
By Will last year, at the start of January, 5 Comments »
Thoroughly enjoyed watching Mitchell Johnson bat. For someone of slight build, he gives the ball a mother of a whacking.
There’s absolutely no feet movement though, and I’ve not seen him play against quality spin. But he has a great eye, and his concrete feet reminded me a little of Lance Klusener, slashing through extra cover, and also Darren Lehmann. And someone else, too, that I can’t think of.
He’s suddenly become a crucial cricketer for Australia; God help them if he breaks down in the next six months. It will be intriguing to match-up him and Stuart Broad in the Ashes. Both fine batsmen (I’d wager Broad will be more accomplished with the bat than Johnson), both still learning their trade (though Johnson’s edging it with the ball at the moment).
Right. I best get my train.
