#1 12th Man and Full Lineup

Derek Randall
Derek Randall is one of the greatest fielders of all time

England's Derek Randall takes up the 12th man spot in this lineup. The multifaceted cricketer played just 49 ODIs between 1976 and 1985. He scored 1067 runs at an average of 26.67. Much more than his batting, his immaculate fielding made him a standout cricketer in an era where ground-fielding standards had not evolved much. If only he was born a decade later, Randall could have been England's version of Jonty Rhodes.

The Unlucky ODI XI: Farokh Engineer (wk), Bevan Congdon (c), Zaheer Abbas, Brad Hodge, David Hussey, Sir Garry Sobers, Ryan ten Doeschate, Amit Mishra, Mohammad Zahid, Doug Bollinger and Tony Gray

12th Man: Derek Randall
