Jimmy Anderson told the BBC that Johnson would be "incredible" for Australia

After all, the 27-year-old left-arm fast has only played four first-class matches for South Australia, six List A matches, and 11 T20s in his career. But he's the buzz of the cricket world right now following a sensational performance of fast bowling at The Oval in the ECB's Hundred tournament overnight.

Johnson was parachuted into the Oval Invincibles team hours before facing the Manchester Originals in London after being chosen to his first Australia T20 squad earlier in the week. His first two sets of five balls resulted in a leg bye and a single, which isn't terrible given T20 World Cup winner Jos Buttler is on the other end. When he returned for a final set of ten balls, he got three wickets, bowling Tom Hartley and Josh Little at speeds in excess of 145kph. His ultimate score of 3-1 from 20 balls is the greatest in Hundred history.
