That&#39;s been at the back of my mind where I know I&#39;m going to be bowling four, five, six-over spells that I can&#39;t be flat out every ball,&quot; Johnson was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Johnson said shorter spells enable him to work up consistent fast pace, a feature that helped him become cricket&#39;s player of the year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It has dropped off a little bit. We go out there day in and day out and we work really hard and to be able to bowl 150 kmph every game I&#39;d be dreaming if I could do that,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;But I&#39;d like to be going back to bowling shorter spells again. Hopefully I can do that in this Test.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The left-armer said that the ploy worked to Australia&#39;s advantage earlier and he wanted it to be continued but was willing to do whatever the team demanded of him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;I&#39;ll speak to captain Steve Smith and coach Darren Lehmann and see if we can go back to those three-over sharp spells because I think that worked really well for us in the past. But that&#39;s just me speaking. They might want me to bowl those longer spells again.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
