Mitchell Johnson may have retired from international cricket but that doesn't stop him from toying around with opponents. On another such day, during the first semi-final of Big Bash League, the fiery Perth Scorchers pacer raked up insane bowling figures of 4 overs, 2 maidens, 3 runs and 3 wickets against Melbourne Stars in the first BBL semifinal at Perth on Tuesday. Incidentally, this was the most economical spell of the tournament's history.

Johnson’s economy rate of 0.75 trumped Rhett Lockyear’s, Tom Cooper’s and Kane Richardson’s previous mark of 1.00.

Johnson got Rob Quiney caught at fine leg in the first ball of the match. Three balls later Luke Wright was dismissed by the Australian for naught. His next over was a maiden too as only five runs came via leg byes. Kevin Pietersen was his third scalp in his third over which resulted in a single, while the fourth over went for two. It was also the second time in BBL history that a bowler has bowled two maiden overs in a match.
