Mitchell Johnson proved the pick of the Australian bowlers but the left-arm quick is far from happy with the little reverse swing he managed in the warm-up match against Board President8217;s XI. 8220;We did not get the reverse swing we were looking for,8221; said a dejected Johnson, who scalped four Board President8217;s XI wickets. 8220;We tried our best but the ball was pretty soft and we could not shine it. There was not much reverse swing out there,8221; he said. Overall, the track was flat and that made life difficult for the pacers, said the 26-year-old bowler. 8220;It was pretty flat for us. That8217;s why I was trying to keep it as straight as possible. The key is to hit the good areas and be patient,8221; he added. Asked if his team was feeling the pressure as they trail by 264 runs, Johnson said, 8220;It would have been nice to get some more runs. Anyway, let8217;s see how Hussey and Haddin bat tomorrow. It will be nice for the batters to go into the Test series with some runs under the belt.8221;
