Top 5 ODI spinners of all time

New Zealand v Sri Lanka - 2nd ODI

Daniel Vettori

Bangladesh v New Zealand - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup

Former New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori is considered a gentleman in the modern cricketing game. He bowled a steady line and length and in what is the ideal for every bowler, was always stingy with runs.

The greatest spinner his country has produced, and arguably its greatest cricketer, Daniel Vettori also managed to be undeterred by surface, managing to generate spin on a flat track or seemingly unfriendly conditions for spin.

Left-armer Vettori took 305 wickets from 277 innings in his 18-year ODI career, with two five-wicket hauls.

He has staggering best figures of 5/7 against Bangladesh during the Tigers' tour of New Zealand in 2007, and ended his career post the 2015 World Cup as one of the best left-arm breaks we have ever een.
