Johnson to unleash 'sledge attack' on India during crunch WC semis

Australia pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson has admitted that he is all set to launch a sledge barrage on India when they take on each other in the mouth-watering World Cup semifinal tie on Thursday in Sydney.

Explosive batsman David Warner has been on his best behaviour at the World Cup after being fined for asking India's Rohit Sharma to 'speak English' during the Test Series ans subsequent tri-series before the World Cup.

Johnson said that he heard Warner wasn't going to get involved in all that stuff, insisting that someone has got to do it and he might put his hand up, the Dawn reported.

Describing the fierce verbal exchange between Shane Watson and Wahab Riaz during Australia's six-wicket win over Pakistan in the quarterfinal as 'exceptional', Johnson said that it is a part of the game and people are going to see more entertainment in the upcoming game against India.

The winner of the second semifinal clash will take on co-hosts New Zealand in the final for the coveted title in Melbourne on Sunday.
