Mitchell Johnson celebrates after taking a wicket during Australia v New Zealand - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup: Final

The 12th man in this team is Mitchell Johnson who was one of the best fast bowlers of his time. The southpaw went on to become one of Australia's key weapon. His ability to generate extra bounce caused trouble to even the most well-established batsmen.

The Queenslander was a handy batsman down the order as well and could play aggressive strokes. Mitch, as he is popularly known, played 153 ODIs in which he clinched 239 wickets at an economy rate of 4.84. He also has 951 runs and 2 fifties to his name in ODIs. The 38-year-old had potent in Tests as well. He clinched 313 wickets in the 73 Test matches he played with an economy rate of 3.33.

Additionally, the speedster played 30 T20Is in which he claimed 38 wickets at an economy rate of 7.29.

Johnson's retirement came as a surprise and many feel that it was not a logical decision. The winner of the ICC Test Player of the Year award in 2014, Mitch hung up his boots from international cricket in November 2015. Post his retirement, the left-hander played for Perth Scorchers, Karachi Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders in the respective domestic T20 leagues.

He is currently a commentator with the Big Bash League and the JLT Cup.
