John Davison in his prime should be on that list.

 

[Insomniac]

Rizwan Cheema who has blasted the West Indies, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka around needs to be in it.

 

[Howsie]

Geoff Barnett from Canada needs to be there

12. Leverock

He would be first one in my team. :hpraise

 

[angryangy]

Garth Le Roux?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Hmmm...

Some names to be considered -
Rizwan Cheema
Khurram Khan
Nial O'Brien
Ryan ten Doeschate
Tikolo (Although I think he retired?)
Nannes (He's dutch!)
Hemp

Why the fixation on Kenya? They've done nothing recently.
Ireland have been consistently the best associate nation and Scotland before them.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Yup. Plus I'm pretty sure Odoyo and Tikolo have retired, or are close to.

I'll do a good statistical overview to find the best associate players, and post the XI later when I have the time.

Nannes is only good for 2020, he would be awful in Tests, even less control than Mitch

He would go a lot better then most associate bowlers in test cricket. Actually is there any other decent bowlers besides Rankin

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Nannes is a lot better than Rankin.

Rankin plays for Ireland internationally and for Warwickshire domestically in Division 2 in England. He averages 29.39 in FC. But take away his record for Ireland (20 wickets at 17), and his stats are poor. He has 21 wickets at 41 for Warwickshire, but did take 10 at 29.2 for Derbyshire when he played for them.

Nannes, on the other hand, averages 24.77 overall. And he has not represented Netherlands in FC cricket. 20 at 19.65 for Middlesex, and 69 at 26 for Victoria. That's England's Division 1, and Australia's Domestic competition.

It's clear to see Nannes is the far superior bowler as far as FC games go, with better figures in tougher competition. Rankin is a decent OD bowler, but Nannes is a far better bowler.

 

[Howsie]

Dirk Nannes would walk into most test teams around the world.
