Cardiff: England captain Alastair Cook on Tuesday challenged Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson to repeat his heroics of the 2013-14 Ashes and compared his wave of destruction during the previous edition's whitewash as a rare vein of form that was not dissimilar to his own batting dominance in Australia three years earlier.

"Mitchell (Johnson) had the series of a lifetime, pretty similar to what happened in 2010-11 with my form, you get on a bit of a roll and you can do no wrong," Cook was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au, ahead of the first cricket Test starting here from Wednesday.
