#9 Brett Lee - 23.63%

Australia v Zimbabwe: Group A - 2011 ICC World Cup
Lee took 23.63% of Australia's ODI wickets during his career

The first of two Aussies to appear on this list is the ever-fast and ever-lethal Brett Lee. Binga played 12 years of OD cricket for Australia from 2000-2012. During this period, Australia bagged 1608 wickets with Lee picking up 380 of them (23.63%) from 221 ODIs.

Lee averaged 23.36 in ODIs and picked up 9 five-wicket hauls, the joint third-highest in ODI history. A spell of 5/22 against South Africa at Melbourne in 2006 is his best ODI spell.

Lee spent half of his career bowling with Glenn McGrath and also played with a number of brilliant bowlers like Shane Warne, Jason Gillespie, Michael Kasprowicz and Mitchell Johnson. Despite the presence of such bowlers, Lee managed to take a good percentage of his team’s wickets.
