PACE sensation Mitchell Johnson is set to become Australian cricket's latest $2 million man on the strength of his Ashes ambush this summer.

Johnson will vault from close to the bottom to the top echelon of Cricket Australia's contract list if he can maintain the form which reaped him 37 wickets at just under 14 runs apiece during the Ashes.

He only just made the last 17-man contract list in April when he was out of favour and not selected for the Ashes tour but he is now the talk of world cricket.

The top handful of Australian players receive about $2 million including bonuses from CA and Johnson's high rankings in all forms of the game could see him ranked as high as number two on the list behind captain Michael Clarke if he closes the summer with a strong Test tour of South Africa.

No matter what his form in South Africa Johnson is poised to at least treble his earnings in the Indian Premier League.

The tournament winning Mumbai Indians paid just $US300,000 (around $330,000) for Johnson when he was injured and out of form in his last IPL deal but he could earn a $1 million deal this time, essentially because of his exceptional bowling form but also because of his considerable batting and fielding talents.

Johnson's dramatic Ashes form surge will make him a headline act at next month's IPL auction if Mumbai cannot secure him on a new contract beforehand.
