5 Australian players hated by England

Mitchell Johnson

With his pace and aggression, Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson instilled fear in the minds of the English batsmen during the 2013-14 Ashes and brought back memories of the Lillee-Thomson era.

Johnson, Australia's wrecker-in-chief in the last home series, struggled in his first two editions as he was unable to control his line and leaking runs.

In 2010-11, Johnson was on the receiving end as England’s Barmy Army sang a song about his unruly Ashes spells, saying that he bowls to the left and to the right and calling his bowling “shite”.

In his 10-year career, Johnson picked 313 wickets in 73 Tests, but the crowning moment of his career came when he devastated England with 37 wickets during the 5-0 whitewash in 2013/14.

It was the most by a fast bowler in The Ashes since 1981.
