Top 10 Australian bowlers of all time

Lyon's journey has been anything but a cakewalk

#7. Mitchell Johnson

Johnson finished his career with 313 Test wickets and 239 ODI wickets

Mitchell Johnson wasn't a consistent bowler at first and frequent injury issues and his inability to convert potential into performance plagued his career.

But when on song, he was arguably the most destructive bowler.

His left-arm bowling was pacy, accurate and had plenty of swing. England and South Africa, unfortunately, had to face him during his peak in 2013/14 and the statistics reveal the impact Johnson created.

Against these two teams, in eight Tests, during that period, the Aussie pacer claimed 59 wickets at an average of 15.23 and picked a wicket every 32.01 balls.

Apart from those two series, Johnson was an effective bowler throughout his career and among the Aussie pacers with more than 150 Test wickets, he has the best strike rate. (51.1).

Johnson finished his career with 313 Test wickets and 239 ODI wickets in 140 and 150 innings respectively.
