Ben Stokes’ innings the best I've ever seen - Mitchell Johnson | 2019 Ashes

- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2019
- ESPN’s Melinda Farrell speaks with former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson after Ben Stokes put on a masterclass in batting to pull off a spectacular England victory in the third Ashes Test at Headingley. Johnson admires how Stokes was able to stick to his game plan with the bat, culminating in the allrounder partnering with tailender Jack Leach to cross the line on Day 4 and feels Australia’s bowling lineup were searching too hard for a wicket with the new ball. Johnson also discusses how England can build on their momentum and how Australia can pick themselves back up in the hunt for the Urn.

He bowls to the left. He bowls to the right. Mitchell Johnson....seems like a thoroughly nice and unbiased bloke with a long media career ahead of him I would've thought.
He bowls to the left, he bowls to the right Mitchel Johnston he turned out alright.
Doesn't scan. I agree though.
I was shocked when I heard him on the radio a few weeks ago. Insightful, fun and just seemed like a really nice guy. Sport can do funny things to people
he's hardly smooth on the mic, now is he? stumbling mitch, but lovely guy
@@timbalders9683 Ha, yeah I know. It was intentional to go off on one like that. A bit like Mitch's bowling in the old days.
Fair play to Johnson he gave England a lot of credit
He's gone right up in my estimation after this interview
Unlike the millions of Indian/Pakistan comments on ECB/CA channels, Johnson knows exactly when to give credit when it's due. He knows when to give credit because he's a professional sportsman and understands that's exactly what sport is.
I've known Mitchell Johnson for over 8 years through my work at royal garden hotel in Kensington, London, and he is a great guy to know, such a down to earth man, so not really surprised by his comments
I had no idea that Johnson was this on the level and honest... It must kill him as an ex player to see his side lose like that, but give the credit he just has.... Fair play mate, fair play
Gary Peacock - you mean lynch and stokes. You can hardly say those other player deserve credit
Fair play Mitchell fair and unbiased summing up of the best innings I've ever seen!!!
nicholas carvallo have always found cricket to be far better at unbiased analysis than any other sport
It's to draw attention away from the fact that Stokes didn't win it, but that Nathan Lyon LOST it.
At 73 no one is a more avid England fan than me but all credit to Mitch Johnson and the Australian side for their dignified and honest response to this defeat. They must be gutted to have faced such an incredible innings by Ben and the series is now beautifully poised.

Leach was the low key hero. I didn’t feel that was poor performing by the bowlers. They just couldn’t get the last guy out
The man is tough, and plays the game, just like the Aussies do, very well. Aussies didn't like it. Well played Jack.
As an Englishman I really appreciate the graciousness in defeat of both the Australians after Headingly and New Zealand after the World Cup final. I hope England show their opponents as much respect when the boot is inevitably on the other foot.
You lot down there are a credit to your countries, to cricket and yourselves.
Bongo Baggins as an Englishman who’s watched cricket for over thirty years, I can say that we do give credit where credit is due. How can you not when you’ve been on the receiving end of drubbings (especially against the Aussies in the 90’s) so often. Hated Johnson as a player, but he seems quite decent as a commentator
Unlike the Indians who wouldn’t know graciousness if it hit them in the face
If that match is not proof that Test Cricket is well and truly alive, I don't know what is. That was shades of Eden Gardens in 2001.
Anthony Kernich it was better than eden gardens also
I was remembering Eden gardens but this was insanely better. It was the 4th innings chase that takes the prize over Eden gardens 2001.
maybe because none of them are drop ins, like Australia
or Hobart 1999 v Pakistan
Anthony Kernich bad decision by the umpire won England the game
I used to hate Mitchell Johnson when he was dominating England batsman but love him as a presenter on TMS..Knowledgeable and thoroughly nice chap changed my opinion totally now he's a star....
Agreed. Unlike McGrath who is awful.
Brilliant Stokes fantastic strokes. Superman stokes
Mitchell Johnson has gained at least 1 fan. Seems like a genuinely nice bloke 👍
Absolutely mind-blowing from Stokes, one of the greatest ever individual Sporting displays I've ever witnessed. England should have been finished when Woakes went. The way he took the game to the whole Aussie team single handedly when Leach came to the crease.....just incredible.
Give the man a knighthood already. Arise Sir Ben
Make him prime minister. Can’t be any worse than the current TWAT.
@@maxdembo2029 Borris is doing a fine job you pleb
Ross Watson good joke
Am very sure the queen might look into that, look what happened to cook
Boris is a racist elitist fool, siding with the rich while appealing to narrow-minded bigots brainwashed by the gutter press
Despite what goes on on the pitch, he has proven himself as a worthy commentator and respectful gent. Cricket is the gentleman’s game.
I think credit has to go to Denly and root for keeping the bowlers out the all day yesturday.
You are right
Jack leach deserves credit....him buffing his glasses before every ball will be any iconic image of the test for me....he showed the disgraceful top order the level of concentration required for test cricket
The Aussies are famous for toughing it out in similar situations, and Stokes innings is in some ways very Australian in that respect. To have a truly world class player in our side is just amazing. It has to be Sir Ben Stokes now!
Don't mind losing when an innings like that is played.
How fantastic the aussies were in this close defeat was really impressive to me. Especially with the atrocious lbw shout at the end, such a great team.
From 67 all out first innings to winning test, remarkable. Likes for test match is the best.
Great comments and analysis from Mitchell👌 Stokes just seems to get better and better !
Truly remarkable 😊😎
Mitchell Johnson is shocked just cz he was sledging stokes few years ago 😂
Mitchell is a good man, that’s the response of a true winner. Classy guy.
He wouldnt do that now lol
That's what I love about cricket. It's so refreshing to be in the company of people who regard sledging as a token of affection.
I'm not comfortable when I have to try to be polite, it feels phoney. We know the rules. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.
I don't like cricket. I LOVE IT.
Frank Day well, you’ve got support here
Sledging is nothing but gamesmanship and is part of the game, fair play to Mitch he has been as real as possible with his analysis and comments. Big respect to Mitch.
Mitch Johnson comes across as a really good bloke,love the way he comes across totally unbiased,all the best to you Mitch
I was in total awe it was spine tingling stuff, just incredible I'm still in shock
Hail Sir Ben the man just totally rocked through all your trials and tribulations you have arrived cheers from beautiful Barbados
Ben the best all rounder in the world
2nd Shakib is first.
@@maaw7648 did Shakib do what Ben has done in the space of 6 weeks?? And Ben still has another test for the Ashes..
@@maaw7648 nope
@@sn3ification well according to the rankings Shakib is better. That is fact until Stokes over takes him after this series (I think Stokes is a better all rounder but the rankings aren't decided on personal opinion but on stats)
@@sn3ification Shakin made over 600 runs in the world cup and took over 10 wks in a team which isn't nearly as good as England and he played less matches than Stokes and Sharma and Warner
Beautiful innings Ben stokes you rock🔥
Once the game is done, both sides can enjoy the glory of the victory, whoever won. Both commentators show they are all about the love of the game, great to see.
Very good analysis and I’m glad he didn’t focus on the “lucky” aspect, any other Australian commentators really focus on those elements and never give the credit I hate how bias the Aussie commentators can be but this was very good. He accepted that Australia messed up and it was their fault!
I find Mitchell Johnson to be a fair and impartial commentator. Clearly his playing persona was exactly that, and he comes over as a decent bloke.
Excellent interview from Johnson, glowing in his praise. Nice to see the mutual respect shown by him and Ponting.
one of the best test match! Absolutely fantastic batting by Ben Stokes!
Amazing cricket comeback! The best ever!!! ANYONE else agree???
What a shocking Sunday, Ben shook the whole cricketing world
What a great sportsman. To recognise an amazing cricketer.
Great credit to Johnson. No whinging about umpire decisions
Stokes is the English Brian lara will probably never see a better innings under that much pressure
Well could've said the same about his WC final innings, but here we are!
It's was a superb innings. One of the best but putting his name with Lara is a big no no.
C.H.A.D Bravo he’s better than Freddie
@C.H.A.D Bravo I think he's just saying that innings is similar to Lara.
@C.H.A.D Bravo Good joke. He's miles better than Freddie and he's only going to get better and better, marinate on that.
Yet again cricket was the real winner today
20 20 is boring not test cricket. I'm Australian and also have to say Stokes played a heart breaking innings and really stole this test match... Brilliant! A great player. Love the Ashes and this is why it's so hard fought and such an old rivalry with strong history. Well done to Ben was both a pleasure and painful to watch as an Aussie, But this is what good Cricket is.
T20 is shite
Respect to Mitchell he is a top man
Royals fan here. Smiths comeback was the best individual comeback ever. And now stokes leads england to the best team comeback ever
Mitch looks devastated, unbelievable game of cricket, Ben Stokes, best innings ever played, roll on Manchester 🏴🇬🇧
Brian Lara’s innings vs Australia 1999
Kusal perera’s innings vs South Africa 2018 And
Ben Stokes’ innings vs Australia 2019
Jos Buttler Kusal perera’s knock was in 2019
Well said Mitchell, an honest review from an honest player.
In a month or a year down the line most people will agree the game is the winner, this kind of result gets people watching
An amazing test cricket batting performance - Ben Stokes and Jack Leach. Congratulations! Remember Kusal Perera and Vishwa Fernando (Sri Lanka) against South Africa, just 6 months ago?
Iconic performance ❤️Ben
Gentleman Mitch with an honest assessment of a fantastic test match
Mitch i saw you demolish us in Brisbane. You were an incredible bowler and are becoming a great cricket commentator. The best always call it as the game sees it. Balanced and fair is what all the greats have in common. I was thinking of Richie....
Love Mitchell Johnson 😍
This English team is different in approach now which is reflecting in their performance.
I'm English and have always had a grudging respect for Mitchell. A nice guy off the pitch but in his day an absolute demon with bags of aggression. Not enough of people like him in test cricket these days.
Mitch should have been playing! He's only 37 and he still seems fit enough. Melinda thinks so.
Fast bowlers don't play after a certain age. Can't say that about spinners tho.
Melinda SO wants him, look at her puppy eyes!!
@@andrewb2475 lol
It was crazy. Insane. Love test cricket. Thanks Mitch, breath of fresh air to see someone who at least appears to be complete non partisan.
Can't believe that's the same Mitchell Johnson 2013.
Best inning by the best player BEN......👍👏👏👏
Legend Johnson miss you bro you were lethal weapon to Australia cricket
One of d best innings I ever see
More exciting than anything football has to offer.
Still I love Ben Stokes first test century at Perth against steaming Mitch..Remember some stunning pulls....Only man stood up against Mitch in that series...
Never doubt in his talent.....
Well played Mitchell Johnson. As an English man he just completely changed my opinion of him. One of the most dangerous bowlers we ever had on our turf
Great content.
Mitchell Johnson- intelligent comments, fair and balanced. He obviously wanted his country to win but was big enough to acknowledge (unlike much of the Aussie press) that what happened with Stokes was just a fantastic performance. He seems a genuinely decent guy. By the end, Stokes had destroyed the Aussie's self-belief, they didn't know where to bowl to him. He just took them down. It was an amazing game to watch - credit to both teams for their performances
Test match cricket is the ‘real cricket ‘ , it’s meant for people who actually know how to play cricket.
2019 would not be complete without Bengamin Stokes!
Shouts to anyone watching this two years on
Cant stand cricked but made to watch that by my wife But boy oh boy that was awesome to watch.
Lucky You.
Are Bohot khub Ben stocks
Absolutely great knock by Stokes....
He is my best cricketer in the world.
Fair play to Mitchell. He used to take a lot of flak from England fans, myself included, when he was a player but he didn't let that influence his view in any way. Despite the piss taking and songs we made up for him, us English fans could only respect him deep down both as a player and a true competitor. On his day he was absolutely unplayable. He blew us away a time or two.
Exceptionally impartial and balanced review, respect. Next Richie B maybe.......
Biggest test of last 100 years stokes amazing people who
Mitchell Johnson - fair play to you.
Oh what material this man is made of .. 73 to get with almost no wicket is incredible even to dream .. clean connection and just enough elevation.. but t temperament is what got him there ... surreal almost!! Eng cud b all different from here.
Your haircuts the best I've ever seen.
I'm only 28 but that was certainly the best innings I've ever seen
Anmol Singh no1 gives a fuck about that game
@@maxdembo2029 well not true...the only reason stokes innings have edge perera's and its because its done in a pivotal ashes test match to decide series and he done same in world cup 6 wks back...otherwise pereras innings is to be noticed, very close
@Anmol Singh Ok, but did he hit a reverse sweep 6?
Peter Parker exactly my point. This had more at stake. This will be talked about for years by way more people. You, that geezer and some other cricket nerds are the only ones who care.
@@ym276 quality of innings is matter not flashy shots.
Almost similar to Brian Lara's 153n.o @ Barbados Test 1999.. ☺️☺️..*resilient and classy Stoky....
I was thinking of same bt this was better
@@kkfan1269 not really, lara did it against Warne, mcgrath and Gillespie: better bowlers. He also had less help from his team mates, scored more than half the runs himself.
Great ining
maybe the most remarkable stat from this test match is that the last wicket partnership of england's 2nd innings was bigger than their whole first innings score. i'm still trying to get my head around that
Very nice 👍
The “unloseable test” that Australia lost. Whatever happens from here on in, this test will go down in history as one of the greats! A huge positive shot in the arm for test cricket.
Shot in the arm*
Worst thing in the world for a Australian to report on a great English victory but Johnson is a pro
In my personal opinion, it was Sir Stokes day and everything worked very well for him and his partner, and they used their abilities in the best way that was possible at that time.
I recommend An OBE for Mr Stokes.
He lifted the game cricket through his clean cricket without fixing allegations.
Both the Batsmen deserves pat on the Back. Good Job 👍 Done ✅.
Stokes said he inside edged the LBW which wasn't detected with the 4 reds, but surely this would have been found if reviewed, so he wouldn't have been out? Surprised this isn't being mentioned more...
Superman Stokes!
As an Englishman, I absolutely use to hate Mitchell Johnston but since he’s retired and become part of the media, I’m starting to begrudgingly like him.
Hail stokes
Absolutely
Stokes is the best all-rounder currently.
Who can play long innings
He is a great finisher
He is good in all formats
Who can bowl 140 kph consistently. One of the best innings I have seen while playing under pressure.
Credit to coach Justin Langer and skipper Tim Paine for restoring Australia’s reputation for competing hard but in a sporting way. The spirit of cricket is alive and well.
Johnson should be commentating on tv live. He’ll be better than one or two of the current lot.
Already better than Mark Waugh.
Ben Stokes is a brilliant cricketer. Also, arguably the best fielder in world cricket.
Was this innings above lara's 153 against australia?
There’s only one Ben stokes that’s for sure🐐
@Cricket Legend beat up people who deserved it.
Newspaper 99 if you dont mind me adding the guy also approached stokesy with a weapon as well and he battered 3 blokes 😂 the guy is a hero
Newspaper 99 💯💯
They wasted their review . It is on them. They knew umpiring was poor from start. So shouldnt have wasted the review
Absolutely, that's why Paine hasn't complained about the poor decision - it was no way near as bad as his.
@@timbalders9683 and fair play for Paine for taking that on the chin.
I’ve been looking at the LBW call, and I’m quite confident that DRS got it wrong and it was a lot closer than it seemed. It didn’t account for the ball hitting the front of the pad and assumed it was spin. Definitely not bad umpiring, it wasn’t as clear as DRS showed it to be.
Brilliant performance I thought Australia had won the ashes but they missed the chance ...
Fair play to johnson with his praise. But when superman smith plays like that then he'll get my attention
Stephen Buffery he’s a cheat him Smith Warner n Bancroft can suck stokes farts
@Huzaifa Mughal
and You Aussies can't win single match without sandpaper lol.
I went to watch the Ashes in 2010 and Mitchell’s haircut would be out of date then.
😂😂😂
😅😅😅
Was wondering whether my screen was on 240p then realised it was just the hair lool
Ben stokes.....The Wizard of Oz
ben is great
