Top 5 bowlers with most wickets between 2007 and 2011 World Cup

#2 Mitchell Johnson (Australia) - 109 wickets

Johnson was named the ICC Cricketer of the Year in 2009

The year 2007 saw both Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne bid adieu to international cricket and it was always going to be a tough task to fill the big shoes of the two legendary cricketers.

However, in Mitchell Johnson, Australia found someone who could intimidate the opposition with his pace and guile and he arguably had the best period of his career in between the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, as evident by being named the ICC Cricketer of the Year award in 2009.

Johnson took 109 wickets from 71 ODIs and secured four of his six Man-of-the-Match awards in the 50-over format during this period. He was instrumental in Australia's 4-2 triumph over India in a 7-match ODI series, picking up 14 wickets.

The left-arm pacer's wickets came at an average of 26.03 while he was also economical with the ball conceding less than five-runs-an-over.
