The writeup:
Solid opening pair for Kenya who both relatively consistently notched up WC fifties against test nations. Ravindu Shah's cricinfo profile mentions after his '03 performance where he was Kenya's leading run scorer he was being talked about as the best batsman outside of test cricket. Otenio was up and down but kept finding ways to peel off good 50s against sides such as India, Sri Lanka, Australia(in '96) etc.
Roy Dias was Sri Lanka's greatest ODI batsman until Ranatunga and De Silva hit their stride. He had a respectable return against test nations at world cups as well as 3 test centuries in a small amount of tests.
David Hemp was a very solid county performer with 30 tons who's one WC brought a good knock against India, Bermuda's only notable batsman.
Odumbe was only slightly behind Tikolo, and got a MOM performance in each of the '96, '99 and '03 WC's, showing he knew how to hang with the big boys
Berrington is a Scottish batting staple who also bowls handy pace.
Kevin Curran had a great domestic english record as an allrounder without getting the chance to shine much internationally. A budget Mike Procter.
Somachandra was arguably Sri Lanka's greatest spinner before Murali
Eddo Brandes is worthy of Zimbabwe's ODI ATG XI and has a good ODI record against test nations, maybe the most distinguished quick available in the draft. Took 11 ODI wickets @ 9 against England.
John Traicos doesn't have the best record but he was a good fielder, notably tight offspiner and a super experienced journeyman and option for captain.
Boyd Rankin is well known as one of the best associate pacemen and was good enough to play tests for England.

Scrap out a decent score and then let the two leg-spinners do the rest, not a bad way to go in associate cricket. The two lead pacers are not bad at all either.
Enjoy the mix of some journeyman types from the traditional nations to go along with the best players ever from Afghanistan, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong.
