Aussie bowler reveals Glamorgan approach

08/02/2012

Mitchell Johnson could be bowling to for Glamorgan in T20 matches next summer if he agrees to an approach by the Welsh county to represent them in the competition in the summer.

The left-arm bowler - who has lost his place in the Australian side - could be joining fellow Aussie Marcus North at the Swalec Stadium and has confirmed his interest saying: "I'm interested. I'm just waiting for a call from them."

Johnson has played at the venue for Australia, taking the first ever Test match wicket at the ground in 2009 and he will hope good performances could help him back into the national side.

And Glamorgan may have a great incentive to perform well in the Friends Life T20 competition this year, as the final's day is to be held at the Swalec Stadium on August 25th.

The fast bowler may be hoping to perform well to confound critics in the UK, having been vocally targeted by English fans during the 2010-11 Ashes series for his sometimes wayward bowling.
