Johnson shines as Australia fire Ashes warning with brutal demolition of Sri Lanka inside three days | UPDATED: 07:37 GMT, 28 December 2012 Fierce bowling from a revitalised Mitchell Johnson powered Australia to victory by an innings and 201 runs against Sri Lanka in a Boxing Day Test that ended inside three days at the MCG. Johnson - after being left stranded eight short of a second Test century earlier in the day when Australia were dismissed for 460 in reply to Sri Lanka's first-innings 156 - captured two for 16, injured two top-order batsmen and affected a run-out as the tourists were skittled for 103. Sri Lanka had lost seven wickets midway through day three's second session but, with Prasanna Jayawardene and Chanaka Welagedara unable to bat, and Kumar Sangakkara unable to return having retired hurt on 27, the Australians were home and dry.
