Who will be the next bower to do a "Johnson"?

[WindieWeathers]

A few years ago i'm sure many would have laughed if someone would have suggested that Mitchell Johnson would turn into the monster he currently is now, and it got me thinking...if you had to put your money on any other pacer out there today who could rise up and totally dominate like that who would it be? a Neil Wagner perhaps? Shami? what about the seven foot Pakistan pacer? You just never know what can happen as Johnson is proving.

 

[Garson007]

Johnson always had the ability. None of the others do.

 

[Pothas]

Come on just say it WindieWeathers. We all know it is Ravi Rampaul.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

The Jacket can bowl in the 150's and is a Johnson clone.

Ishant Sharma isn't doing too bad atm.

Well...now you've asked!!

We have young Sheldon Cotterrell who's a lefty just like Mitchell, big, strong and QUICK too!!..never had a great test debut in India but tbh he wasn't even fit having come off a injury. He has all the tools to do it though if he works hard.

 

[Pothas]

You are so great.

The only person that I could think of having the same effect would be a returning Mohammed Amir

 

[Jarquis]

Junaid's gonna enter full beast mode in the next couple of years.

 

[Bahnz]

The difference is that Junaid was never **** to begin with.

 

[the big bambino]

Ishant Sharma isn't doing too bad atm.

Re the highlighed: Who is that?

Re the highlighed: Who is that?

Wahab Riaz

 

[hendrix]

Will be the first to mention Ishant Sharma and the first to mention that no, he won't.

 

[hendrix]

Other options:

Steven Finn
Morne Morkel
Mitchell Starc
Umesh Yadav

 

[Bahnz]

Starc a very good bet imo.

 

[Dan]

I reckon there will be a point where Trent Boult goes into God-mode for a while. More Philander-like than Johnson-esque though.

Or Matt Henry. He could be a very interesting international prospect.

Or Matt Henry. He could be a very interesting international prospect.

Dan's in love.

 

[NZTailender]

It'd be ace if Franklin did this. Not gonna happen though

 

[Ruckus]

I dunno if your asking for players that 'out of the blue' suddenly produce the goods, but if not I think Pattinson or Cummins are likely to come up with some pretty dominating, aggressive spells. Both have the sheer pace and talent. What about that tall SA pacer, Marchant de Lange, what happened to that guy?

McCullum's the batting equivalent at the moment, IMO. Finally delivering on his potential, and doing it in bucketloads - 627 runs @ 62.70 this home summer.

 

[hendrix]

would need to be averaging 100+ this summer to be comparable to what Johnson's done, tbh.
