Johnson ready to bowl first change in WC

Melbourne, Feb 2 (IBNS): Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has said he is open to a first-change bowling commission for his side during the upcoming World Cup.

"We've got two left-armers and got to think about what's best for our team - if it's me coming on first change I'd be happy to do that," Johnson was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.com.

"I've always said I love opening the bowling for my country, [but] it will be something that game to game will come up in our team meetings. I'll talk to Darren [Lehmann] about it and George [Bailey] and the bowling unit. Personally I've got confidence because I've been able to open the bowling, first change, second change, Powerplays. So I'm happy to bowl anywhere to be honest," he said.

The cricketer said: ""It feels nice to do it to any team, to go out there and perform at your best and do the job that you've been put in the team for. My job is to go out there and try to bowl fast and be aggressive and take wickets. I felt like I was pretty close to that. That's what really excites me and the bowling unit we have has been able to stand up and bowl well throughout the series so exciting times ahead for the Australian cricket team I think."
