10 best players of all time from Queensland

#4 Mitchell Johnson

Johnson was an intimidating sight at the end of his career

Mitchell Johnson was probably the most gifted Australian quick bowler of the last decade. Towards the end of his career, he was possibly the most intimidating bowler to face up to in international cricket. He was spotted by former Australian fast bowling great Dennis Lillee in Brisbane when he was only 17.

By the time he was 20, he had made his first-class debut for Queensland. He played for the state from 2001 till 2008 and during that period, he was the team's best whenever he was able to play. In his first-class career, he played 117 games in all and picked up a total of 465 wickets at an average of 28.71. Johnson is not only one of Australia's greatest bowlers but also among Queensland's finest.
