Anyway, that's the end of him. I'm calling it. With the discovery by selectors that when you give youngsters a go it creates competition for places (who'd have fucking thought?!?), there's no fucking way that clown is making it back in the side. I feel sorry for his WA teammates though...can you imagine just how fucking terrible he'll be after months on the sideline? He can't even bowl straight when he's allegedly fit and 'in form'.
So farewell Mitch. Thanks for the memories. The Ashes no-shows. Having to listen to Tony Greig, of all people, waffle on about your karate-ing missus. Your inability to bowl decently anywhere but the WACA. The way you just released the pressure valve at one end when you came on. But maybe mummy still loves you. Or maybe she thinks you're as mentally piss-weak as the rest of us do. Anyway, adios to you, King Of All Pie-Chuckers...
No more pies for me angled at second slip thanks pal...

Thank christ he's gone. I blame Dennis Lillee, who said Johnson was a "once in a generation bowler". But that was what got him selected (and why the selectors persisted with him for so long).
My major gripe with Johnson was that he scrambled the shit out of the seam and generally fucked the ball up by the 5th over. Thank god he's gone - we can now watch the ball swing again.
Fuck you, Lillee.
Surely there is a value in keeping Mitch around to mentor out young bowlers... you know, teaching them to bowl scrambled seam pies... Under the old regime I could see him being rushed back into the team as soon as fit.
The new regime is dead to me if this happens.
