Retired International XI of the decade
Several teams are in their transition phases due to the retirement of many greats since 2010.
Mitchell Johnson
Mitchell Johnson, a fiery Aussie fast bowler who in his short cricketing career became a nightmare of many batsmen around the world with his ferocious bowling performances. Many consider Johnson as a bowler but honestly, he was more like a bowling all-rounder. One just cannot ignore his batting capabilities.
The Queensland southpaw played 153 ODIs for Australia taking 239 wickets at an impressive average of 25. This included 3 five-wicket hauls. In Tests, he has 12 five-wicket hauls and 3 ten-wicket hauls to his name at an average of 28, taking 313 wickets. In T20Is he has got 38 wickets to his name in 30 matches.
Johnson always wore his heart on his sleeves, especially when playing Ashes with their arch-rivals England. His imperious Ashes records are what sets him apart from other bowlers of his generation. He even batted his side out of trouble on various occasions.
