5 legendary bowlers with just one 5-wicket haul in ODI cricket

#4 Courtney Walsh

Courtney Walsh was a pillar for the West Indies in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s

Despite his remarkable test career, Courtney Walsh only managed one five-wicket haul to go along his 22 in test match cricket. His career, which spanned 205 ODIs for the West Indies, was marked by his somewhat underwhelming 227 wickets, as compared to his fantastic performance in the longer format of the game.

Walsh had an ODI bowling average of 30.47. His only five-wicket haul in ODI was against Sri Lanka, at the start of his career, in 1986, where he picked up the wickets of Duleep Mendis, Ashantha de Mel, Ravi Ratnayeke, Rumesh Ratnayake and Graeme Labrooy.

He claimed six four-wicket hauls over his career to go along with his lone 5-fer, stats which are a testament to the quality of bowler that he was. Walsh is now the bowling coach for Bangladesh, whose rapid seam bowling improvement can be, at least in part, be attributed to the great man.
