Finally we've found a bowler who can keep his nerve at the death - Mitch Johnson.

We were coasting along until Clarke came on and went for 26 off 2 while Lee copped a bit of stick as well. I think they took 56 off one 5 over stretch.

Then Johnson nailed it for us.

His spell at the death was 2-1-5-2. Also had Uthappa (the guy doing all the damage - 44 off 32) dropped by Lee (a soda, too).

Rapidly maturing as a bowler. Even earlier than the death he put the breaks on by cleverly bouncing Singh early in his innings. Used the angle of his left armers from around the wicket very well also. Going to be hard to leave him out of the first test at the moment. I actually had him behind 3 others prior to this series.
