Interesting comparison.

It should be taken into consideration that Anderson bowls in much more bowler friendly conditions but yet Johnson has better statistics in both forms of the game.

Anderson all the way, He bowled brilliantly to the Indian batsmen and got all of them out (Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly), Whereas Johnson struggled to get them out when the rest of his Teammates were bowling well to them...

Johnson is just lucky I feel and not a good bowler at all. People usually throw their wickets against him. But Anderson produces some brilliant deliveries which could be compared with some of the bowling greats. But he lacks consistency I feel and because of his action can fade out easily after a few sessions.

Anderson.

Johnson wouldn't be able to beat anyone when they are being compared. He is a tail-ender bully. Nuff said.

I kinda rate Johnson... he's got couple of 5+ hauls in ODIs but i guess Anderson is better and more experienced...

Mitchell Johnson does bowl a good line and lentgh, But doesn't really do enough to trouble the Batsmen...

I'm afraid you cant fight or debate on what might become in the future.

Anderson has got most of the votes although I dont think anyone has given any proper reason. Like Ben said, stats clearly indicate that Johnson > Anderson.

and I think they both are useless just because they both can't win matches for their respective countries.
