Mitchell Johnson sung to the crease by the Barmy Army as he cops a Golden Duck 😂 The Ashes, 2010/11

That time Mitchell Johnson walked out to bat for the final time in the 2010/11 Ashes series and was sung to the crease by the Barmy Army. He was out first ball to Chris Tremlett and was sung all the way back. What an atmosphere!

[@danieltubio-rey1984]

I'll admit this. Mitchell Johnson always dished it out and also delivered on the pitch but he always took it well. Credit to Australia. Also genuinely good in the com box

[@ilikemilkshake22]

I've been watching the Australian coverage when I've been able to this series, their ex players are absolutely superb on commentary

[@SirHumphrey498]

On this accasion all Mitchell Johnson could do was hang his head and say nothing

[@sithvsjedi9696]

Spot on. A great credit to cricket 🏏

[@TheMimifur]

It is humbling how terribly nice the fast bowlers are when they arrive in the comms box and with TMS. I actually like Glen now!!

[@HappyBirthday0707]

This for me encapsulates why the sporting rivalry between England and Australia is so great. Mitch copped it big time this series and admitted himself that the barmy army did a number on him. He absolutely murdered us three years later. It’s these stories that keep the game alive and vibrant and make a summer of ashes cricket such a pleasure. A fierce rivalry, occasionally a hostile one, but one which for the vast majority of the time is rooted in respect and affection.

[@Br0wn1e91]

"He bowls to the left, he bowls to the riiiiiiight, that Mitchell Johnson, his bowling is sh*te!" Hahaha gotta love the barmy army. You'd think England were at home.

I see this moment here as the catalyst for the summer of Mitch Johnson 3 years later. He got his revenge in the most dominant way, literally breaking apart England’s XI. One of the best comeback stories in sport

[@listerofsmeg884]

It was the moustache that did it

[@drahcirnevarc9152]

Yes, he ended Trott's and Swann's careers.

[@malcolmbradbrook221]

@@drahcirnevarc9152 Trott 100% and I'd argue Pietersen too (his behaviour was only worth putting up with when he was on top form) but Swann's elbow was agony to bowl with even after two surgeries to put it right. He only agreed to go because there were no other spinners ready to step up. If he'd been able to bowl 90-100% fit he wouldn't have stepped down.

[@alangray6961]

Perhaps the catalyst was not hearing any home support. Imagine being an Aussie batsman coming out to that welcome in Sydney. Johnson was a rabbit in the headlights here. Any supposed Australian cricket fan should feel ashamed watching this. This was Johnsons hour of need and the Australian cricket support was woefully lacking.

[@jamesbagshaw8251]

I'll never get tired of hearing this

[@Fookracists]

The rivalry was something else, they knew he was a class bowler and he had respect but damn did he love playing against us, getting heavy defeats and he loved every minute of it. Barmy Army never fail to disappoint 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

At this stage, I don't think he actually did have respect. He was largely rubbish this series and his mechanics had deserted him. Obviously a few years later he made them eat their lyrics big time.

[@franksfiddle9031]

I saw a fantastic interview with Mitchell Johnson where they asked him about the Mitchell Johnson song ... apparently he used to sing a song that his daughter loved while he was at his mark getting ready to bowl and they asked him if that was to drown out the English fans and he said something like "sort of, but also because it was such a catchy song I ended up singing it with 'em if I didn't sing something else" ... for me he was what the Ashes is all about, excellent cricketer who gave and took great sledging.

[@VARMOT123]

Don't poke the bear they say . Mitchell johnson unleashed a tsunami in 2013/14 .one of the scariest fast bowling performances I have ever seen in a series . He put 3/4 english batters to retirement that series

[@daverobertson623]

Yeah, basically he had one good series. That's it.

Firstly, only 1 batsman went into retirement, and it wasn't because of Johnson. Secondly, he lived off 1 good series, hardly a world class bowler was he.
