I think Johnson will certainly be next reall gun oz cricketer.
I take alot of stock when looking at young bowlers on how good their fielding and batting are. If the rest of their game is good then it shows that they learn good, are naturally talented athletes and not one trick ponies (Tait anyone?). Anyways I liked Johnson the first time I saw him field.

I think it's got to do with the code in my sig. It's seperated into two lines on mine but I've been told that it goes into one big line for some. Might change it to a quote.

Waugh always enforced it (Jo'burg 2001/02, MCG 2002/03), Ponting has only done it once (Wellington 2004/05, when time had already been lost to rain).Uppercut said:

I think it was the right call. All comes down to the urgency in the batting.
If rain is a factor: a bat hard->rains->declare->bowl fresh... strategy
is in my opinion more likely to get a result than
sending SA back in with tired bowlers and possibly facing nervous small chase on wet pitch
But then again...................
