— Mitchell Johnson (@MitchJohnson398) August 25, 2014Well, that was an interesting last 10 overs. Braaied chicken and glass shards for lunch... Cheers Mitch J. :)
— Neil Manthorp (@NeilManthorp) August 25, 2014Mitchell Johnson has ruined our view in the commentary box here in Harare!! pic.twitter.com/OD8zbv64aP
— Shaun Pollock (@7polly7) August 25, 2014RT @buckster355: @NeilManthorp Manners, stay safe mate! Time to call for a helmet? -- That'd be a first, helmets in the comm box!
— Neil Manthorp (@NeilManthorp) August 25, 2014What a waste. Mitch Johnson hits one into the commentary box window and Brayshaw and Nicholas aren't on duty. #AUSvZIM
— Richard Hinds (@rdhinds) August 25, 2014Mitch Johnson takes aim at @NeilManthorp with 6that has shattered glass in commentary box. Lay off Mitch, Manners is one of the good guys.
— Peter Lalor (@plalor) August 25, 2014Maybe Johnson’s shot was simply his means of protesting against this.
Good news for the fans at Harare Sports Club... Meanwhile, Zimbabwe are 2-80 after 17 overs chasing 351 #ZIMvAUS pic.twitter.com/leC8lQe1ay
— cricket.com.au (@CricketAus) August 25, 2014Johnson finished the innings unbeaten on 20 as Australia showed off their batting artillery ahead of next year’s World Cup in an innings where Glenn Maxwell (93 off 46 balls) and Mitchell Marsh (83 off 80) starred.
When Maxwell and Marsh teamed up, it was the cue for one of the greatest assaults seen by an Aussie batting combination as they bludgeoned 109 off 54 deliveries for the fourth wicket in what ended up a 198-run win as Zimbabwe was dismissed for 152.
