Perth, December 12
Mitchell Johnson has offered to help Mitchell Starc rediscover his rhythm ahead of the second Test against India in Perth, where the fast pitch can have the Australian pace spearhead “alive and going”. Starc managed two wickets in the first innings and three in the second in Adeliade, where India emerged victorious by 31 runs.
Johnson, the fifth-highest wicket-taker for Australia in Test history, feels his former teammate is perhaps struggling with something in his mind. “Everyone operates in a different way and I've already sent him a couple of text messages to see if he wants to catch up and have a chat about things because I have worked with him in the past and you get to know people really well,” Johnson said.
“It just looked like there was something on his mind, something's not quite clicking. We'll sit down hopefully before the Perth Test match starts.” —PTI
