His performance sfor the Brisbane Heat in 3 Big Bash finals:

2/14 off 4 overs vs the Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier

3/20 off 4 overs vs the Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger

And when the title was on the line…

4/26 off 4 overs to kill off the Sixers in the Final, recovering from going for 13 off his first over to post the best bowling figures ever in a Big Bash Final, earning the most glorious medal you’ll see…

THE KFC MEDAL.

Easily the best performance by a Johnson from Queensland since Dick won the Bathurst 1000 with John Bowe in 1994, although this is where I now point out that Spencer Johnson is actually a South Australian.

So when you think about it, the Brisbane Heat stunned everyone when they flicked Chris Lynn and sent him to the Adelaide Strikers…

Then they went and plucked Spencer Johnson from South Australia, and lo and behold they make 2 Finals in 2 seasons with a much-improved bowling attack to back up their semi-decent batting.

What a superb piece of recruiting.
