South Africa has been one of the favorite ODI sides across eras. Some world class cricketers have played for South Africa and have won games for their team. So as a tribute to South Africa’s best ODI players, we bring you the ALL TIME ODI XI FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
Here’s the team
Openers
Hershele Gibbs
Graeme Smith (C)

This is South Africa’s favorite opening pair. We have also chosen Graeme Smith as the skipper of this team.
Middle Order
One Down: AB De Villiers
Two Down: Jacques Kallis
Three Down: Hashim Amla
Fourth Down: JP Duminy
Fifth Down: Mark Boucher

Now, this looks like an ultra-rich middle order with Kallis, AB De Villiers, and Hashim Amla. It is as good a middle order as you’ll ever see.
All Rounder (s)
Shaun Pollock
Lance Klusner
Now there are already two great all-rounders in this team. Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy are all-rounders already present in the team. The addition of Shaun Pollock who was a great bowler in his time only makes things better. Lance Klusner too is one of the greatest all-rounders to have ever played the game. NOW, THIS LOOKS LIKE A LETHAL SIDE WITH SUCH GREAT ALL ROUNDERS.
Bowlers
Allan Donald
Dale Steyn

Now you have a very strong bowling attack here. Allan Donald is one of the most dangerous bowlers and so is Dale Steyn. These two will be assisted by Shaun Pollock, Kallis and Lance Klusner. JP Duminy can bowl a little spin.
