Best ODI XI of the decade
No decade has been as eventful as this one in ODI history.
10. Trent Boult
This generation of cricket lovers will remember the exploits of these two outstanding left-arm fast bowlers in Mitchell Starc and Trent Boult. Whilst the Australian bombshell kept ravaging past batting units with his pace, Boult had the remarkable ability to make the ball curl like a banana despite bowling at over 140 kph regularly.
What makes the Kiwi bowler so special was his ability to hold his nerve under the most intricate of situations. He bowled the two most important overs for New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup final, the 50th and the superover. He is lightning quick on the field as well, making him a highly productive cricketer.
In 89 matches, he picked up 164 wickets coming at an average of 25.06. His economy has been impressive as well despite bowling the toughest overs (5.05) and has five 5-fers to his credit. Only Malinga has bowled more maiden overs than Boult among the mentioned bowlers (58 maidens by Boult, 69 from Malinga).
