Apart from an incredible Test career in which he claimed 376 wickets, the late Malcolm Marshall was impressive in one-dayers as well, where he picked up 157 wickets in 136 games at an average of 26.96. Marshall had as many as six four-wicket hauls in his ODI career.

His best of 4 for 18 came towards the fag end of his career, against Australia during a Benson & Hedges World Series game at Melbourne on 12 December 1991. His 10 overs included four maidens as he dismissed Geoff Marsh, David Boon and Dean Jones to keep the Aussies down to 173 for 9 batting first.

The Windies batting however collapsed to 164 all out as Craig McDermott, Steve Waugh and Paul Taylor combined to claim seven wickets.

In a bizarre occurrence, West Indies lost three consecutive wickets to run outs -- those of Malcolm Marshall, Keith Arthurton and David Williams.

#2 Rangana Herath

A legend of Test cricket with 433 scalps from 93 matches, left-arm spinner Rangana Herath did reasonably well in ODIs as well. He pocketed 74 wickets in 71 games at an average of 31.91 and an impressive economy of 4.37.

Herath claimed four wickets only once in ODIs - 4 for 20 against India in the famous tri-series final played at Port of Spain on 11 July 2013. Herath dismissed Rohit Sharma (58), Dinesh Karthik (23), Ravindra Jadeja (5) and Ravichandran Ashwin (0) as India stumbled in the chase of 202.

MS Dhoni, however, kept his cool and blasted Shaminda Eranga for two fours and a six in the last over as India won by one wicket with two balls to spare.
