Pakistan brought the chokers back to earth in their own backyard not too long ago. Now Aussies are doing the same.
Koda kar ke SA ne Pak ki acchi tareh si li and you call it "Pakistan brought the chokers back to earth" :hysterical:

Mitchell Johnson 7 wickets-68 in 1st Innings Vs South Africa 2014 57ShE_lBg_o Couldn't resist myself from creating this thread after seeing this video. How the hell Johnson has become such a beast in last 6 months or so?

Look how ball hurries off after pitching. Don't think it happens to every bowler.
Johnson's a skiddy bowler and the ball comes on to the batsman quite quickly off the pitch. That's why he seems much quicker than other bowlers even though they bowl at similar speeds.

Exactly. Mone Morkel can be as quick as Johnson. with his height can be nastier. But he does not get the same effect that MJ gets after pitching. Combined with accuracy MJ has become a mean bowler. It is thrilling to watch.

So true. Wish we unearth a match turning bowler who can rip through opponent's batting lineup. I tell you it's such a big let-down when you watch Indian bowlers after watching SA-Aus game.

And we let them get almost 450+!! ahahaha this is the effect of dhoni's captaincy and selection. He picks 120kph zak and 130kph ishant, instead of 140+ yadav and 130-135 outswinging pandey, even bhuvi has decent pace. Aaron was benched in odis until ishant got whacked. India neglects such bowlers and Aus embrace them. Pace takes wickets, added with some accuraces of course. But johnson doesn't bowl line and length only, he mixes it up. Yadav could have won us something in SA, heck even NZ. We let NZ score 500!!!!! Watch johnson emasculate NZ if they toured tommorow.

That was the turning point of the series. No way we shouldn't have won that game. We could have won our maiden series in SA had we managed to win that match.
