Mitchell Johnson- How shit is he?

Don't forget they also took Manure on tour...what a farking joke...

I've got it.

The cause of Johnson's malfunctioning.

He is in sympathetic suffering, mourning with the REAL MJ. Their names even sound similar.

Snap out iof it young man, as Cloughie would have said.

It was criminal to go on two successive tours without a reserve batsman. And this time they send two dubious all-rounders, and ageing, fast bowlers with fitness queries against their names as the support crew.

A lot like 2005, when you think about it. Except without TGM and tgm to paper over the cracks.

And the title of one of Jacko's most famous albums sums up his bowling quite well at the moment. And it's certainly not "Dangerous"...

Off the Wall?

Off The Wall?

Quite possibly. The selectors will be telling him to Beat It before long if he doesn't improve though...

I can hear it now:

"I'm Brett, I'm Brett ..
In fact, I'm fukcing rubbish"
(not literally mind)

And Mark Nicholas chimes in:

"Brettie Lee is not my lover
He's just a boy who claims that he is the one"

Deary deary me. FB in crass kiddy fiddler moment.

Yes, Mr Simpson.

I'm bad.

My bad.

He's been up and down a bit.

However, having accepted all-rounder status, rather than persisting in the mistaken belief that he was an opening bowler, things are improving.

Which idiots were comparing Watson (a batsman) v Flintoff? The real comparison is Johnson v Flintoff. Johnson has a long way to go, and his bowling will be more destructive/erratic than Fred's clever tight line bowling, but that's where he should be aiming, with his batting ability. With his body shape and action, he may even be more durable.

Yes, it was a very shitty period.

However, his overall Test figures to date make encouraging reading:

34 Tests
45 innings (8 red ink)
924 runs (1 x 100, 4 x 50)
24.97
S/R 60.74

155 wickets (BBI 8/61, BBM 11/159) (5 Michelles, 2 10wpm)
4346 conceded
28.03 average
S/R 52.1
E/R 3.22

Mitchell Johnson - how fit is he?

Very average, more importantly though is he cant wear his trousers properly

Another sad call from the man who was dumped by his gay lover in Australia and therefore hates everything Australian. Bitter much, Trev?

My father and one of my kids are Australians ?
What a ridiculous thing to say, all rather personal considering thankfully I do not know you.

what the?

FPBF - that reads as a confession of Trevness, or (more likely?) you've misinterpreted Zat's response to the thread title, in his post below your 'trousers' remark ...

I'm here to help you, or walk into an NSR trap, or both

a man of many parts.

Ah, FPBF, another of those 'walk into a forum, start spouting crap, and don't bother reading anything that happened before their arrival because it couldn't possibly be relevant to the discussion'

Or, alternatively, Trev, posting under a different name, but still a sad qunt.

I suspect the former, but can't entirely discount the latter.

None of those, merely replying with my opinion of Mr Johnson as a cricketer who I think is over rated and struggles against top quality sides.

I thought that was the question ?

"Mitchell Johnson - how shit is he?"

Or did I missread that.

Or else it may be Kevin Bacon?
