First position goes to the mighty Australian Mitchell Johnson who'll be looking to bowl line and length with some added pace. He bowled 156.8 kmph vs England in 2013. He has played 144 ODIs and taken 221 wickets. “I've surprised myself a little bit pace-wise. I think it's just the rhythm thing at the moment.
