LinkAustralian pace ace Mitchell Johnson will attempt to turn England captain Andrew Strauss into his bunny this summer in a plan to crush the old enemy's spirit.
Johnson, who will return to grade ranks this weekend in a bid to recapture his golden touch ahead of the Ashes, believes England will crumble if Strauss fails at the top of the order.
"Look, I think if we can go after their captain, Strauss, I think if you can get him early at the top order, hopefully [that will] put a lot of pressure on their lower-middle order," Johnson said.
"Being the captain, I think they've really looked up to him in the last 18 months, especially after beating us at their home.
"If we can put a lot of pressure on him, then hopefully they can crumble a little bit."
Strauss was dismissed for just 4 on Thursday in the tour match against South Australia, but showed his class last week with an unbeaten 120 against Western Australia.
is this possible?
