Yeah. Will edit.

I reakon thats a quality side there. Dont underestimate.

It's a good side, the batting of Tikolo and Doeschate are good enough for any side I reckon, not to mention they are both useful with the ball. Shah is in excellent recent excellent form right now and the rest of the batting line up is fairly handy and good enough to chip in useful runs between the above 3 mentioned. The bowling is fairly solid as well. As already mentioned both Tikolo and Doeschate are very useful with the ball and both Odoyo and Ongondo.

It's not a side that would beat the Aussies but I think it'd be a tough challenge for most sides if they gelled together as a team.

I would like to see them compete in a tri-series in Australia it would help devlop them as players and be more interesting than watching England flop everywhere

Hmm...non test...

Tikolo (Kenya)
ten Doeschate (Netherlands)
David Hemp (Ireland, right?)
E.Morgan (Ireland)
Thomas Odoyo (Kenya)
Tamnay Mishra (Kenya)
Hiren Vairya (Kenya)
Dwayne Leverlock (Bermuda)
John Davidson (Canada)
Arshad Ali (UAE)
Ali Asad (UAE)
Ryan Watson (Scotland)
Dougie Brown (Scotland)
Craig White (Scotland)

14 players, these should be in the sqaud. And a few more bowlers, I don't know many good ones bar Ali Asad, Hiren Vairya and Thomas Odoyo. The rest are more allrounders. Ogondo is a good choice too.

 

[barmyarmy]

You mean Craig Wright not Craig White. Good player though...

Hemp plays for Bermuda, and it's John Davison, not Davidson.

Excuse the blatant plug, but if you're following the WCL Division One tournament you'll do well to visit CricketEurope (link in my sig). We're always ahead of cricinfo with the live scores, sometimes by as much as 20 overs.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Cool. Will check it out.

They stole Joyce from the minnows team. Dalyrmple was also born in Kenya. Not sure if they poached him aswell.

 

[puddleduck]

They can have Dalrymple back

Although since he spent almost his entire life in England, received his cricketing and mental education in England, and is as English as anyone else, I think it would be fair to say he wasn't poached :
