Elliott fought off the negative impact of a couple of bad bounces and was not beaten on anything that really challenged him.
And the save sliding cross crease does not look sexy due to him being perfectly square, and sorry Bingo, there is skill to that. It won't make the highlight reels like the scorpion but there is a quietness to Johnson's game that gets kudos. This is what that save was.
I applaud Elliott. The microscope was on him, he bungled two but stopped what he was supposed to otherwise.
