All-time best Oceania ODI XI

All-rounder- Daniel Vettori

Daniel Vettori takes the all-rounder's spot

There have been plenty of all-rounders from Oceania who have done brilliantly in ODIs including Chris Cairns, Chris Harris, and Shane Watson. But the all-rounder’s spot in this team is taken by none other than New Zealand’s treasured possession Daniel Vettori.

One of the greatest all-rounders in the history of the sport, Vettori is New Zealand’s highest wicket-taker in ODIs with 305 wickets which is also the second most by a left-arm spinner behind Sanath Jayasuriya’s 323.

Besides being a spinner who could take out even the cleverest of batsmen, Vettori was also a very useful batsman who could pile up quick runs during the slog overs. Vettori has 2253 runs in ODIs with 4 fifties to his name.
