Mitchell Johnson cemented his place in Australian folklore with his performance in the 2013 Ashes against England.

One of the fastest bowlers in the world today, Johnson regularly bowls in the high 140 kmph speeds. Add sharp in-swing and a deadly yorker to that pace, and you have a recipe for some great fast bowling.

His performance in the recent 2013 Ashes series in Australia is considered as one of the greatest displays of fast bowling in modern cricket. He went on to tear through the South African batting line-up on Australia’s tour there in early 2014, thus reinforcing his deadly reputation.
