Mitchell Johnson or James Anderson?

< 1 minute read

And you HAVE to choose.

We’re going for James Anderson. He’s the better bowler when the ball swings and we love watching swing bowling. If the ball doesn’t swing, Mitchell Johnson’s got the better attributes, being quicker and kack-handed (as if THAT’S an attribute).

Also, you have to remember that Johnson’s Australian and will therefore be confused and frightened by many of the things he encounters in England.

Things like:

  • Running water
  • Beer that doesn’t need to be half frozen in order for you to choke it down
  • Sleeves
