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

#1 Shane Warne

The King of Spin ended his career with just a single ODI 5-wicket haul.

Perhaps the most surprising entry on this list, Shane Warne befuddled batsmen for decades. However, he was only able to claim one 5-fer over his 193-match career, despite ending with an enviable average of 25.82 and 291 wickets in games for Australia. His solitary 5-fer came against the West Indies in 1996 at Sydney, where he dismissed Courtney Walsh (another entrant on the list), Roland Holder, Junior Murray, Nixon McLean and Kenny Benjamin.

Shane Warne was known predominantly for his ripping leg-breaks in test matches, but he was no amateur with the white ball in hand. Not only did Warne show his expertise in getting into the batsmen’s head, he laid a platform for the modern leg-spinner and till date, his versions of the big leg break, the googly, the top-spinner and the flipper are used by bowlers in all forms of the game.

His white ball numbers are almost unmatched by any other spinner, and his tally of 12 four-wicket hauls is the second most for a spinner, after the great Muttiah Muralitharan.
