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

#7 Lance Klusener (South Africa-batsman and medium pace bowler)

Lance Klusener was an effective all-rounder for South Africa

A hard hitting lower order batsman Lance Klusener is fondly remembered for his heroics against Australia in the 1999 World Cup semi-final. His swashbuckling strokeplay almost won the match for the Proteas from a precarious situation but in the last over Alan Donald committed a suicidal run out when the match was in the Proteas’ grasp.

The match eventually ended in a tie and Australia qualified for the finals, courtesy their better position in the group stage.

Klusener broke into the South African team as a bowler but as his career progressed, he became an entertaining batsmen and also played the role of a finisher for the Proteas. He played 171 ODIs in his career and finished with more than 3500 runs at an impressive average of 41.10. He also picked up 192 wickets in 171 ODIs.
