Neil Johnson (cricketer)
Neil Clarkson Johnson (born 24 January 1970) is a former Zimbabwean international cricketer who played 13 Test matches and 48 One Day Internationals between 1998 and 2000. An all-rounder, he bowled right-arm fast-medium and played in the middle order in test matches as an aggressive left-handed batsman. He usually opened the batting in one-day cricket. Despite making sporadic appearances for Zimbabwe at international level, he made substantial contributions with both bat and ball in the crucial crunch match situations. He has often bailed out Zimbabwe from precarious situations to match winning positions with this all-round display. In his brief international career, he made an impact as an aggressive opening batsman and also as an attacking fast bowler. He was an integral member of arguably Zimbabwe's best ODI side during the late 1990s. His career was cut short due to internal politics of Zimbabwe cricket. He retired from all forms of cricket in 2004 at the age of 34. Domest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
