Johnson was unlucky,the fact he looked a little unorthodox probably counted against him with the old duffers in charge at the time.

The reason i said Dean was that we used to pick a lot of bowlers who weren't any better than him and he would always get his share of wickets in a poor team at Derbyshire.Had he played for a more fashionable county i think he would have been picked at least once.
