Explanation

Steve Waugh took 195 ODI wickets during his career but never captured a five-wicket haul (5-for) in a single innings. This makes him unique among leading ODI wicket-takers, as most bowlers with similar career totals have at least one five-wicket performance. His bowling was characterized by consistent medium-pace and clever variations rather than explosive spells.
