5 famous bowlers who have not yet picked up a five wicket haul in ODI's

There are several quality bowlers who has played the shorter version of the game for a long time, have picked up hundreds of wickets but picking up 5 wickets in a single innings in the ODI's is a difficult feat to achieve. In Test cricket it is easier to take 5 wickets in an innings as it is the longer version of the game. But in one-day internationals, the task is tougher as bowlers only get to bowl 60 balls.

#5 James Faulkner

The right-handed medium pacer is a highly talented bowler who has not yet taken a five-wicket haul in one-day internationals but the left-handed bowler it is expected of him to do so in time.

The next player on our list is Mohammad Amir - arguably one of Pakistan's finest bowling talents at the moment. Amir is fast and can swing the ball both ways, which is a nightmare for even the best batsmen. But despite his impressive bowling performances for Pakistan, Amir has not yet reached the feat of a five-wicket haul in one-day internationals.

The left-handed pacer has 3 five wicket hauls in test cricket but none in the ODI's. Amir's best bowling figures in ODI's is 4/28 against Sri Lanka.
