Best XI of the players who retired in 2015

09. Mitchell Johnson – Australia 

An express bowler whose career had many highs and lows, Mitchell Johnson at his best was as fearsome as any fast bowler to have graced the game. He played 73 Tests picking up 313 wickets and scored 2065 handy runs batting lower down the order. He has a Test hundred and 11 fifties to his name. His best spell in an innings is 8/61 and that in a match was worth 12/127. He picked up 239 wickets from 153 ODIs and 38 wickets from 30 T20Is. He played his last international match against New Zealand in the 2015 Perth Test match. Adept at playing cameos, Johnson was someone who gave quick runs when needed with the bat.
