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

#9 Chaminda Vaas (Sri Lanka-left arm medium pace and left-hand bat)

Vaas was one of Sri Lanka’s best fast bowler in the 90s and 00s

The greatest fast bowler from the island nation, Chaminda Vaas comes in at No.9. Known as the most penetrative and successful new-ball bowler for Sri Lanka, Vaas made his ODI debut against India in 1994. Vaas was also part of the World Cup-winning team in 1996 and bowled pretty well throughout the tournament.

The southpaw also holds the record for the best ODI figures by a bowler. In a match against Zimbabwe in 2001, Vaas picked up 8 wickets giving away only 19 runs. His hostile spell blew away the African minnows and they succumbed to their lowest ever ODI score of 38. Vaas was also useful with the bat lower down the order and had the ability to play big shots.

The bowler played his last ODI against India in 2008, finishing his career with 400 wickets in 322 matches.
