    Born in Aussie to Jamaican Parents (actually conceived in Jamaica).
    Similar story to Andrew Symonds - born in England.

    On a related subject I was thinking how it was interesting how many overseas players turn up in Test Teams, with the exception of the Sub-Continent Teams.

    You have the likes of Patel for NZ, Keppler Vessels for Australia, Kevin Pieterson for the MCC etc., but does anyone know of a foreign born player getting into the Indian, Paki or Sri Lanken teams?

    They're happy enough to have foreign coaches though...
