Reliving Mitchell Johnson's Ashes 2013/14 

#3 The Johnson-Anderson battle

A rare sight

As we've seen over the years, Johnson is not the one who hesitates to get one over another player. And this battle with Jimmy Anderson is one of the best the game has ever seen.

"Why are you chirping now mate? Not getting wickets?" exclaimed Johnson, while Anderson was making adjustments in the field. The very next ball, England's king of swing yorked Ryan Harris.

But, you don't mess with an Aussie. You don't mess with the grit of Mitchell Johnson. In the second test, Johnson claimed 7 scalps for 40 runs. One of them was a wicket of Jimmy Anderson, whose middle stump was knocked out of the ground.

It was more than just a wicket.

England were struggling at 135-8 when Anderson walked into bat. Johnson ran in hard, pitched it on a good length and beat Anderson's defence with a hint of inswing. What followed, is famously known as Johnson's stare-way to heaven. He didn't celebrate by exchanging words or with a fist-pump but only stared at Anderson to remind the Englishman of his class.
