Best current non-Asian ODI XI

9. Dale Steyn - South Africa:

Dale Steyn

Here is a man who has single-handedly won matches for South Africa with his fiery spells. He is every batsman’s nightmare and few escape his deathly stare. Despite a lacklustre World Cup, his hunger for wickets remains the same.

He has captured 162 wickets from 103 innings and is one of the few gifted bowlers who can generate pace, swing and accuracy, all at once. With his toe crushing yorkers and bouncers, he is the ideal strike bowler that any team would love to have.

10. Mitchell Starc - Australia:

Mitchell Starc

Following a stellar show in the ICC World Cup which won him the coveted ‘Man of the series’ trophy, Starc is on cloud nine. He was the tournament’s highest wicket taker with 22 wickets, is currently the best limited overs bowler in the world and has learned the knack of adapting to any match situation.

He has scalped 83 wickets from 41 matches and can hit the ball a long way. He can be used as an effective bowler at the death and can provide some breakthroughs during crucial points.

11. Imran Tahir - South Africa:

Imran Tahir

There is no better sight than a spinner who isn’t afraid to toss the ball up to the batsman. Imran Tahir is one such cricketer who is fearless and a genuine wicket taker. He has solved South Africa’s never ending search for an attacking spinner.

The leg-spinner had a reasonable World Cup with 15 wickets. He has 70 wickets from 37 matches to his credit and attributes it to the experience he gained by playing all around the world. He will pick up crucial wickets at important junctures in the middle overs and turn the table towards his team.
