Talk:Mitchell Johnson

message: Cricinfo classify him as Fast-Medium. I happen to agree that he ought to be classified as "Fast" as he regularly hits (and even exceeds) 90 mph (145 km/h) but this is merely an opinion. Until this becomes an official classification it would be remiss to use Cricinfo as a cited source and yet ignore its classification of his bowling speed.
Nimbus Sport also referred to him as Fast-Medium during their recent coverage of the India v Australia Test series. So far no media outlet outside of Australia has referred to him as Fast. That's not to say they're wrong, only that there is no consensus as yet and we ought to wait until there is before classifying him as "Fast".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.33.106 (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cricinfo are now classifying Johnson as Fast - not sure when this was updated, possibly during the South Africa series. WarmasterKron (talk) 19:11, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Lots of news outlets seem to be following suit now too (Sky Sports for example). Seems like there's now a definite consensus.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.161.71 (talk) 10:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This page from the Cricket Australia website seems to indicate Johnson has one stumping in first-class cricket.  Does anyone know any more about this and do we think it is a notable stat to include in this article?  Cheers, Mark 150.49.180.199 (talk) 05:05, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

message: It is my firm opinion that Johnson is still an active cricketer. He has merely announced his retirement from international cricket, i.e. the Australian national team. There is no indication that he had retired from all forms of the game. Therefore, I disagree with him being called a "former" or "retired" cricketer as it is far too premature to place such a label. This point needs to be determined via discussion before the lead is changed again. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 21:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, of course.  The IP, and the other "named" editor who keep changing this need to be monitored.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:36, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

message: In the section "Indian Premier League (IPL)" It says he was 'sold'. He was a free agent and so was not 'sold', he was hired. It goes on to say he was 'bought' by Kolkata Knight Riders, again this is incorrect, he was hired by them.
The concept of players being bought and sold suggests thay have no control over the matter, that they are vassals, or slaves, whereas this is untrue. 90.199.178.121 (talk) 12:03, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
