I think the above speaks for itself, but I'll say a bit more anyways. :)

The top 5 consist of big scorers all with terrific averages in excess of 39 with SR's over 80,some over 90! In fact everyone in the top 8 have SR's over 80 which is absolutely amazing and important in ODI Cricket.

The three main quicks economy rates are all 3.58 or under with terrific bowling averages to boot. It's fantastic to think that A Symonds ave of 37.68 and econ rate of 5.00 is the 10th best in the team.

Lillee and Chatfield will open the bowling with de Villiers to come in first change always. Oram and O'Donnell will be terrific in the middle to later overs with amazing 6th, 7th, 8th bowling options in Gayle, Richards and Symonds.

So in conclusion I think I've got a very talented batting lineup capable of scoring big runs fast and bowlers who are experts at keeping it tight. Not a bad mix at all.
