The Australian pace bowler Mitchell Johnson has deflected praise of his man of the match performance in the fourth Ashes cricket test victory at Melbourne.

Australia chased down their target of 231 runs to win by eight wickets with more than a day to spare.

Johnson, who took eight wickets in the match including five in the first innings, says Australia's bowlers have been working well as a unit.
