4. Collins Obuya
The 2003 run in the World Cup was an amazing one for Obuya who picked up a total of thirteen wickets in the tournament with an average of 28.76. In this tournament, he also achieved a career best with figures of 5 wickets for just 24 runs in the group stage match against Sri Lanka.
Post the World Cup, he played a year of county cricket with Warwickshire which, unfortunately, ended disappointingly as he failed to make a mark for his team. His career post-Warwickshire suffered a serious drop due to several health issues including an enlarged appendicitis which caused him to miss the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy.
After several unsuccessful attempts at reviving his bowling abilities, Obuya gave up to train instead as a specialist batsman. He represented Kenya in the 2011 World Cup notching up an unbeaten 98 against Australia in the tournament and still is part of the Kenya team.
