I see I had missed my turn. Here is my take.

Makhaya Ntini (tests)
Allan Lamb (ODI)

Tests

Sanath Jayasuriya
Stephen Fleming
Richie Richardson
Brian Lara

Shane Warne
Tatenda Taibu (WK)
Ian Bishop
Makhaya Ntini

To come: ENG, IND and PK

ODIs

Chris Gayle

Aravinda de Silva
Brian Lara
Allan Lamb

Tatenda Taibu (WK)
Brett Lee
Saqlain Mushtaq
Allan Donald

To come: IND, NZ and WI

I am not too ashamed of either team and, in fact, I feel I've got the right kind of guys in the ODI line up actually. aravinda, lara and lamb as well as donald, lee and saqlain excelled in this form of the game.

Please call me when you come India. The beer is on me!! I've removed my post. Its up to you guys to remove the replies with the quote. I am stupid. Not just for this but for not choosing Andy Flower first up. Tatenda Taibu???? Anyway, will learn to live with him.
