Johnson is back in the Test picture

By Reuters in Melbourne | China Daily | Updated: 2013-09-10 07:02

Mercurial paceman Mitchell Johnson, who has admitted to 'choking' in two different Test series against England, could be in line for another shot at Ashes redemption if he keeps taking wickets, according to Australia captain Michael Clarke.

The 31-year-old Queenslander was overlooked for the recent Ashes, which England won 3-0, but gave a timely reminder of his pedigree on Sunday in Australia's emphatic one-day international win over the host.

Johnson has thrilled and frustrated Australian cricket fans throughout a rollercoaster career of 51 Tests and 126 ODIs, but nipped and swung the new ball around savagely in Manchester to capture two wickets and concede only 36 runs in a venomous 10-over spell that helped Australia seal an 88-run victory.
