The Ashes series 2013/14: 5 moments without which Australia couldn't have won the urn

2. Mitchell Johnson – Breathing Fire at The Gabba

England were moving along serenely at 83/2, when Peter Siddle removed Kevin Pietersen. There, Michael Clarke sensed an opening and brought on his trump-card, Mitchell Johnson.

What followed was absolute mayhem, as England went down to 91/8, losing 6 wickets for 9 runs in half an hour. Once England were bowled out for 136, it was advantage Australia, and they pressed home that advantage, by setting England a target of 561.

England got no where near that score, again Johnson being the destroyer-in-chief.
