All time left-handed ODI XI (current and retired across all era's)

There is something inherently graceful about the way a left-hander bats and David Gower was no exception

#10 Daniel Vettori (slow left arm, left-hand bat)

Vettori had a long career where he deceived batsmen with his guile

The greatest left arm spinner of the modern generation, Daniel Vettori occupies the penultimate position. Vettori wasn’t a big turner of the ball but his accuracy and guile perplexed batsman all around the world. He kept on bowling in the right areas and was difficult score off.

Vettori was also a useful lower-order batsman and improved his batting significantly in the latter half of his career.

The left arm spinner broke into the national team as a teenager and made his debut against Sri Lanka in 1997. After making his debut, he became an important member of the New Zealand team for almost two decades.

The left-handed bowler announced his retirement from all forms of cricket following the 2015 World Cup, where the Kiwis made the final for the very first time, only to be defeated by Australia.

Before calling it quits, Vettori took 305 wickets in 295 ODIs.
