There's got to be something about Johnson's pace, action or angle of release or something which seems to compel even top players to play really wide balls from over the wicket. It's always happened, whether he's bowled well or bowled crap.

Yeah, every one of his match making big hauls has contained at least two wickets down to RHB swishing at wide deliveries.

Very few bowlers in the history of cricket have been left hand slingers who bowl at 90 mph

A lot of those recently have been batsmen who have been roughed up and hence pinned on the crease by Johnson's sheer pace and hostility, though. ABdV has handled Johnson just fine in this series so he doesn't have that to excuse him.

Amateur hour is picking it up in the first place. Haven't a clue WTF he was thinking doing that. Was a weird (strange?) few moments all round really, following all that up with a squirt break.
Youre right but the reaction has always been a pet hate of mine because the whole passage of play is just so ridiculous

It's right up there with the guy at cover who continually throws the ball at the batsman who is doing nothing more than standing in his crease after having played a defensive shot
