Load of nonsense.

Wonder why the SAffers havent worked out MJ yet? Ordinary batsmen with a bit of luck? Ridiculous.

Biggie with the bucket

No Unfortunatley South African pitches offer great assistance for seamers mate.

South African decks offer more assistance than Australian wickets do to the seamers.
Look at last time Stu Clark was there, moved it around everywhere.

Ps: Your quoted sentence makes no sense.

Mate, watch Mitchell Johnson bowl. He bowls beautiful cutters, usually has a great line and bowls a brilliant slower ball... like Biggie said I think your dislike of him is clouding your judgement. He is a fantastic bowler, with a more than handy ability to bat.

No offence grapedo but u r a clown a bloke that can make 60 odd on a tough pitch against probably th 2nd best side in the world as a bowler can bat.Mitchell johnson on his day i believe would be more value to a side than any other bowler in world cricket on a sth african pitch maybe excluding S.Clark and he is a great square cutter of the ball OPINIONS

Okay whatever.

When the time does come that he isn't what everone thought he was I will be sure to start a thread about it.

Should we do the same when that happens to Steyn then? Because if Johnson is going to be worked out then surely Steyn will too. Right?

No Becuause Johnson gets wickets off half volleys where as Steyn can pitch the ball on leg and swing it back to hit the top of off feel free to but I think batsman are going to work out how to play half volleys quicker than swinging gems.
