Ashes 2019: Mithchell Johnson wants Starc instead of Cummins at Lord's

By Saurabh Sharma August 13, 2019 • 16:31 PM View: 2422

London, Aug 13: Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson wants to make a change to Australias playing XI for the second Ashes Test, slated to start at the Lord's on Wednesday. Johnson said he would opt for Mitchell Starc instead of James Pattinson for the clash.

The slope at the home of cricket -- which drops 2.5 metres across the playing surface -- is the reason behind Johnson's choice of Starc for Pattinson.
