You need all rounders in one day cricket, definitely.
It makes sense - you've got to bowl fifty overs, no one can bowl more than ten of them, you need someone else who can bowl ten (or two who can bowl five).
You also need to score more runs - in one day cricket, scoring runs is more important than taking wickets, all out for 213 will beat 0-210. So it makes sense to have a deep tail.
Bits and pieces all rounders thrive in one day cricket - James Faulkner, Simon O'Donnell, Ian Harvet.
It does NOT follow they should be picked in a test team, where it's more important you make large scores over long periods with the bat and can take wickets as opposed to just "keeping things tight".
