Video: Mitchell Johnson explains James Anderson send-off during Ashes series

Mitchell Johnson, the intimidating Australian pace bowler has revealed how he wanted to give a send-off to England pacer James Anderson after knocking the middle stump out of the ground during the last year’s Ashes series.

Johnson deadly with his pace and aggression in the Ashes series came up with a breath-taking spell of 5-12 in 24 balls, and Anderson’s wicket produced a stare which was more of an instinctive reaction after ripping through his middle stump.

The 32-year old shares a 7-year-old rivalry with his Ashes counterpart James Anderson.
