An all-time ODI XI

#9 Brett Lee

Brett Lee just pips another great, Waqar Younis, to make this list, owing to the extra pace which he brings to the table.

He is the fastest to 300 ODI wickets and made the best of batsmen uncomfortable at his peak, purely through his searing pace. He was an indispensable cog in the Australian lineup throughout his career and ended up with 380 ODI wickets in 221 matches, the second most for an Australian, at an economy of under 5, quite remarkable for someone for whom pace was his primary weapon.

#10 Muttiah Muralitharan

The most successful bowler in International cricket, it is hard to leave out Muttiah Muralitharan from any XI.

Just like Sachin Tendulkar in batting, Muralitharan has set new benchmarks in bowling records which are hard to be broken anytime soon.

He ended up with 534 ODI wickets (the most for any bowler) in 350 matches at an economy of under 4 and was his country's main weapon, capable of bowling pretty much at any stage of the innings and in any condition.

He bamboozled batsmen across the globe with his masterful art of spin bowling and pin-point accuracy.
