#4 Mitchell Johnson - Against South Africa (2012)

Mitchell Johnson's spectacular catch to get the wicket of Alviro Petersen

Mitchell Johnson has to be one of the greatest fast bowlers produced by Australia in recent times. He terrorized batsmen with his extreme pace and bounce. Johnson also had a very good throwing arm and was an athletic fielder all around the ground.

During South Africa's tour of Australia in 2012, Johnson took an amazing catch in the third Test at Perth to dismiss Alviro Petersen. With the ball rising to his rib cage, Petersen fended awkwardly at the ball and could only to eke out a top edge. However, Johnson swooped in at the ball like an eagle. After running a good 10 yards, he completed the catch with relative ease. The splendid catch was a vindication of his agility and high fitness levels.
