Rob Quiney, despite not playing an ODI as of yet, would be a legitimate selection.

Is Nazir really the best batsman who's name begins with N?!

N is the E of the latter part of the alphabet. I could have left him out for an O. It's too high for Jacob Oram. I could bat Ponting at three and find a U from somewhere.

Kenya had players beginning in O and U. But there's not much glamour there.

Did Lehmann ever open?

Bit of a common misconception here by the way, pressing is not the same as knocking in and all bats are pressed. What you'll commonly hear though is that many professionals will have their bats pressed lighter as they believe it increases the performance, however limits the lifespan.
