Aaron Johnson: I think my mentality is to get the team off to a good start and be positive. The team has backed me, the coach has told me - see the ball, hit the ball. I have some Caribbean background and have faced pace back home, my teammates push me to play the fast bowlers. Our bowling attack has been doing well in the last 6 months and hopefully they can get us over the line.
