Richard Johnson had a whirlwind start to an impressive looking career in Test cricket, when he made his debut England against Zimbabwe at Chester-le-Street on June 5 2003. He scored 24 on debut, and took 6/33 and 0/67.
However he was injury prone and when fit found that other bowlers had overtaken him in the pecking order and he failed to sustain an international career.
In November 2006, Johnson re-signed with Middlesex after spending some time with Somerset.
