My Take
I will admit cricket is not my expertise, but Mitchell Johnson's reputation is impossible to miss. A left-arm quick who terrorized batsmen, he is widely rated among the finest fast bowlers of his generation, and his demolition of England in the 2013-14 Ashes is the stuff of legend. The mustache, the snarl, the sheer hostility of his run-up: there is a Scorpio's relentless intensity baked into everything about him. What impresses me beyond raw pace is the longevity, a decade of international cricket from 2005 to 2015. That endurance proves he was far more than just a fast arm.
