Detonator Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Mitchell Johnson ready to be Australia's Sledger-in-Chief against India © Getty Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson says he is considering taking on the role of Australia's Sledger-in-Chief for Thursday's World Cup semifinal against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Outspoken opener David Warner has been on his best behaviour at the World Cup after getting into hot water over a series of spats with the Indian side during the Test series over the New Year. The fiery exchanges continued into the Tri-series and Warner was fined for asking India's Rohit Sharma to "speak English" during a slanging match in a one-dayer at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in January. "I heard Davy said he wasn't going to get involved in all that stuff," paceman Johnson told Fox TV on Tuesday. "Someone's got to do it and I might put my hand up. It's part of the game and what happened the other day with Shane (Watson) and Wahab (Riaz) was exceptional. I thought it was great entertainment and I think you're going to see more entertainment in this game." Watson had the last laugh on Pakistan paceman Wahab after their compelling duel in the quarterfinals last week when he helped steer Australia to victory. Both players were later fined. Johnson has some history with India in the sledging stakes and made them pay for having the temerity to lampoon him after he went wicket-less in the first innings of the second test at the Gabba last December. The 33-year-old slugged 88 off 93 balls to help rescue Australia's first innings and then took three wickets in a dazzling spell of bowling and finished with figures of 4-61 as Australia won the match by four wickets. "I love it. The more that comes my way, the better," he said at the time. As well as Warner, Indians Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma and Virat Kohli were fined for clashes during the Test series. http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/cricket-news/71254/ill-sledge-india-if-warner-wont-mitchell-johnson

peterparker Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I think another 6 fours in his over will shut his mouth.
achilles Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Lets see them lose the game and their sorry faces on Thursday.
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 this kid is a rohit sharma fan, iam sure just look at the madness in those eyes.
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 sometimes i dont understand if aus cricketers are promoting a movie or playing a game of cricket... because they keep saying that they want to sledge because it is good for the entertainment... they should just accept that they were pretty much bullied like everyone else at childhood and thats the only way they know how to play, rather than BSspeak that its good for the cricket blah blah blah. aussies thrive in pressure like mosquito larvae thrives in stagnated water.
Forever Indian Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 this kid is a rohit sharma fan, iam sure just look at the madness in those eyes. Yes, also he seems to be saying - Come to India and I will sledge you there!!! :giggle:

Aussies don't usually struggle under pressure. Every team has their own way of playing the game and that gets the best out of them.
profster Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 MJ, please get to the end of the sledging queue and patiently wait for your turn. Due to high demand for sledging responses, BCCI can't promise an English response but in one of the other 28 official languages of India. May your sledging be world class and bowling, batting and fielding be bakwaas. We are developing an online sledging appointment system for WT20 in 2016.
