PERTH: England were blindsided by the intensity of paceman Mitchell Johnson's swing during their third Test defeat to Australia in Perth, but would not be caught out again in Melbourne, batsman Kevin Pietersen warned on Wednesday.
Johnson ripped apart England's top order in the first innings with a match-turning six wicket haul that propelled Australia to an emphatic 267-run victory that levelled the five-match series at 1-1.
Johnson said he had enjoyed taking Pietersen's wicket and described him as a 'smart-arse' after the South Africa-born batsman had asked him teasingly for his phone number so they could be 'best mates'.
