#3 Mitchell Johnson

South Africa v Australia - 3rd Test: Day 3

He will forever be known as one of the greatest fast bowlers in the modern history of the game and throughout the course of a career that spanned a decade (2005-2015). Mitchell Johnson was one Australia's best across the three formats. Johnson, like so many great fast bowlers in cricket history, was prone to intimidate batsmen with his pace and bounce.

However, in addition to that, he could generate swing and seam movement that could often get the best batting line-ups in trouble.

In limited overs cricket, he was equally good and remained one of the best exponents of the yorker for most of his career. It was pretty rare for him to get a real pasting even on the most batsman-friendly pitches. He played in 256 international games for Australia in his career and picked up 590 wickets, at an average of 26.65. He had an economy rate of 3.90 and picked up a wicket every 41 (40.9) deliveries.
