Most impressive.

[Jenko]

Hahaha that's gold

[thecord]

This is actually more impressive than the SL batting...

[langer17]

Should have seen the one we got going in the first test of the summer against SA at the Gabba. Will try and find a picture of it.

google beer snakes in Oz and you'll see a lot of there

[wilkie113]

Kumar just got a very nasty blow

[Vic Nicholas]

Mitch Johnson MoTM after a blinder with both bat and ball.

Broke Kumar Sangakarra's hand too.

Reminded me of his 2008/09 form when he was unstoppable.

Jackson Bird made an excellent debut too. A much better bowler than I anticipated to be honest.

[tushar sehgal]

do you expect Johnson to last long this time around?

Oooh, "Jackson" Bird. I thought the Aussie were so confident that they played good old Dickie Bird.

I should've went yesterday instead of today haha, looking at the scorecard Clarke ended up outscoring Sri Lanka in their 2nd innings

[Vic Nicholas]

do you expect Johnson to last long this time around?

Who can honestly say?

202 test wickets at an average almost identical to Jimmy "the best bowler in the world" Anderson would suggest for all his problems, MJ is quite a capable cricketer though.

But for running out of partners, Johnson could also have chalked up three test centuries by now too.

MJ is dangerous when he is "on", though he is well down the pecking order when all of Pattinson, Cummins, Starc, Siddle etc are all available.

[alba caerulea]

He's bowled out a poor Sri Lankan side that are notoriously worse away from home. They just drew with NZ in Sri Lanka

England will love it if MJ is involved in the Ashes, scoring opportunities galore! 

[langer17]

TBH, I believe MJ is ahead of Starc. Starc just leaks far too many runs, same could be said for Johnson, but Johnson is better with the bat.

[Alvaro]

Starc is NSW though...

[The_Bird]

TBH, I believe MJ is ahead of Starc. Starc just leaks far too many runs, same could be said for Johnson, but Johnson is better with the bat.

Would you've said that before the last test? Johnson will be brilliant one game and useless the next. He has all the natural talent and ability to be the best all rounder in the world but mentally he's like a kitten when the going gets tough.

Also when are the Aussies going to sort their fitness out? Glenn Maxwell in for Watson and Clarke a major doubt as well. God knows which Australia will turn up in the summer.
