HARARE: It wasn't Jimmy Anderson, but Australian destroyer Mitchell Johnson has broken the arm of an opponent.

Ryan McLaren, the South African allrounder who is all too familiar with Johnson's thunderbolts, will miss the rest of the one-day tri-series in Harare after suffering a hairline fracture in his forearm during Tuesday's loss to Australia.

Back in February's first Test against the Proteas at Centurion, Johnson struck McLaren in the side of the helmet with a vicious blow which left the 31-year-old bleeding from the ear.

McLaren was admitted to hospital a day later and played no further part in the series.
