Mitchell Johnson reveals the most hard batsman he bowled at

Retired fast bowler Mitchell Johnson says the passing of Phillip Hughes led him to question his aggressive approach to the game.

After getting the news of the retirement of Johnson, Sachin went to the social networking site twitter to share his feelings and tweeted, “Good luck to Johnson who has always been a special bowler”.

Johnson concluded his career with 313 Test wickets, also scalping two on Tuesday, and is behind Dennis Lillee (355), Glenn McGrath (563) and Shane Warne (708) on the list of Australia’s greatest wicket-takers. He added that it was indeed a great challenge to play against one of the best players of all time.

“It’s been an incredible ride. But the ride has to come to an end at a few point and to do so here at the WACA is very special”, Johnson said. “It definitely affected players around the world and I think it changed the game a little bit for a while there”, Johnson was quoted as saying in an interview to ABC. Well done mate. Happy retirement!

Johnson terrorised English batsmen in the 2013-14 season with a barrage of short-pitched bowling, however the sport itself was rattled after Hughes was fatally struck on the head by a bouncer a season later. They don’t make many like him anymore.

Johnson’s former Australian teammates paid rich tributes to the left-arm pacer. “I think there was eight millimetres of grass on that wicket, and it’s likely to be a pretty similar wicket for the Test match next week”.

Days after retiring from the worldwide recreation, the 34-yr-previous has revealed that he discovered South Africa’s AB de Villiers as his toughest opponent through the course of his 8-yr profession, stories Cricbuzz. “Congrats on a magnificent career Johnson”.
