All-time World ODI XI post-2000

#9) Shane Bond (New Zealand)

Shane Bond

Shane Bond is a former New Zealand cricketer. He represented New Zealand in Test, ODI, and Twenty20 International cricket. A right-arm fast bowler, his fastest recorded delivery was clocked at 156.4 km/h against India in the 2003 World Cup.

Fast, furious and dashing, Shane Bond preyed on batsmen much like how James Bond did on his enemies. In stark contrast to James' ultra-long run, Shane's career though action-packed was cut short by the recurrence of injuries.

Despite landing on the doctor's table more often than not, Bond refused to compromise on pace, a ploy, which raised as many eyebrows as it did praise. However, amid all the mishaps Bond's guts and firepower stood out.

At his peak, he battered stumps and toes with yorkers, he even kept the best of batsmen on tenterhooks with his ability to swing the ball both ways at genuine pace. In fact, he was the first ever quick to break the 150kph barrier.

Despite his career being relatively short, Shane Bond has extraordinary ordinary numbers to justify his place on this list.

In 82 Matches for New Zeland, Bond has taken 147 wickets at a bowling average of just 20.88 which is beyond belief, to say the least. Furthermore, he has an impressive economy rate of 4.29 and a strike rate of 29.22 which justifies his claims further.

He will be the second fast bowler in the team.
