Johnson hangs up his baggy green─── 09:26 Tue, 17 Nov 2015
Feared Australian left-arm quick, Mitchell Johnson, has called time on his international career.
The fiery bowler is currently in action against the Black Caps of New Zealand at this adopted home ground, the WACA in Perth, where they are looking to wrap up the second test.
Johnson becomes the latest of a whole host of Australian stalwarts to call it quits on his international career and follows Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris, Chris Rogers and Shane Watson, who all upped stumps after the recent Ashes series against England.
The 34-year-old is Australia’s fourth most prolific player with the ball after Dennis Lillee, Glenn McGrath and Shane Watson.
In his 72 tests he has taken 310 wickets at an average of 28.10 and he has a highest score of 127 not out with the bat.
Along with that he has taken 239 wickets in 153 One-Day Internationals and 38 wickets in 30 T20 Internationals.
