The devil is certainly not working on Mitchell Johnson, or so some of the Australian newspapers would say. Johnson has once again turned down the opportunity to be a part of the extravaganza of the IPL and he is only one of a few Australian cricketers to do so.
Mitchell Johnson is not interested in the millions. Apparently the lure of money to Mitch is not as exciting as the prospect of being fit and available for Australia through the season. He feels he has his priorities clear and that is to keep himself in the best shape and form to do his duty for the baggy green.
So, while the likes of David Warner are being rapidly roped in by the Delhi Daredevils, Mitchell is quite happy to sit back sipping his beer and biding his time before the next target for Australia swings along.
