#6 2009 - Mitchell Johnson
Judging Period: August 13, 2008 – August 24, 2009
The left-arm quick became the first bowler to win the award since its inception 6 years before. With 80 Test wickets from 17 matches at an average of 27.07 runs per dismissal, Johnson was easily the leading wicket-taker in the consideration period. A breathtaking performance of 8/61 against South Africa at Perth made him a strong contender for the annual award. He also scored an unbeaten century (123*) against South Africa in a losing cause at Cape Town.
In ODIs, 28 wickets from 16 matches further helped his case.
