On a day when other cricketers with fine reputations announced their retirements from the game for reasons ranging from admirable to personal, Mitchell Johnson (who you may remember as a man that advertises chicken and underwear) announced that he thought English crowds taunted him about bowling poorly because they felt threatened.
While Michael Di Venuto stepped away from a successful first class career at the age of 38, ensuring he retires before damaging his reputation, and Tatenda Taibu retires to fulfill his unspecific desire to 'serve god', Mr Johnson continues to draw a salary from Cricket Australia and help lose games for Australia.
Perhaps the reason his bowling has been so off is that he has no awareness of his surroundings?
