5 great bowlers who retired just short of a major landmark in ODIs

#3 Brett Lee - 380 wickets

Brett Lee had required only two more scalps to become Australia's all-time leading wicket-taker

Possessing the capacity to clock serious speeds, Brett Lee's aggressive style of bowling was perfectly suited to the evolving nature of ODI cricket at the turn of the millennium. After making his ODI debut against Pakistan at Brisbane in January 2000, the right-arm pacer represented Australia with distinction over a 12-year career.

Lee, who was an integral part of Australia's World Cup winning team in 2003, played 221 matches and picked 380 wickets at an impressive average of 23.36. Just a couple more scalps would have seen him eclipse Glenn McGrath's tally and become the all-time leading wicket-taker for Australia in ODIs.
