Best ODI XI of the 21st Century

5. Andrew Symmonds (Australia)

"Symmo" was phenomenal on the field for the Kangaroos. The former Queensland all-rounder showcased great stagings throughout his career, but had many contentious outings too.

The right-hand batter played 198 ODI matches for his side and scored 5088 runs. He had a versatile bowling action and was capable of bowling medium pace as well as off-spin. Exceptional fielding skills made him one of the best all-rounders of the century.

When Australia won the World Cup twice (in 2003 and 2007), Symmonds played a crucial role in the success. His 143 runs in the 2003 World Cup against Pakistan will be one of the most memorable innings in the history of World Cup.

He had an undisciplined nature towards the game. His boorish attitude ultimately led to his ouster from the team.

But as a cricketer, Symmonds has the right to be in the list.
