I had a break after the one-dayers in Perth earlier [in the season], which was to freshen me up and that was really helpful.&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;\">Johnson also spoke of his preference for bowling shorter spells due to &#39;batting friendly&#39; wickets produced in Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, noting that the pacers were forced into bowling longer spells against India.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
