Swinging sensations: 5 best dismissals by swing bowlers

4. Mitchell Johnson v Alastair Cook

In the ongoing Ashes series, Mitchell Johnson has breathed fire. He’s got back his ability to get the away swinger to the left handers going, and he’s doing it at a pace that is a few notches above where he was when he was dropped.

In Adelaide, after Australia had got to 570, England needed a good start and Cook was going to be crucial. But Johnson had other ideas. In the 3rd over of the innings, he slung an out-swinger at 150 clicks, and the ball pitched on middle stump and went on to dislodge the off stump. It was a big wicket, and Johnson will not forget it, not just because it was Cook that he dismissed, but because of the way he dismissed Cook.
