World Test XI :
                        1) M.Taylor (c)
                        2) M.Slater
                        3) B.Lara
                        4) S.Tendulkar
                        5) J.Adams
                        6) S.Waugh
                        7) W.Akram
                        8) I.Healy (wk)
                        9) S.Warne                    
                       10) W.Younis
                       11) C.Ambrose

Although you only have 4 main bowlers, it is enough, since Warne will bowl
30 overs in a day and you have Waugh (and Tendulkar if necessary) to back
up the seam attack. For a second spinner, you have Jimmy Adams,
though for a 2nd specialist spinner, drop Adams for Mustaq.

ONE DAY XI :
                        1) S.Tendulkar
                        2) A.Stewart (c)
                        3) B.Lara
                        4) A.DeSilva
                        5) S.Waugh
                        6) J.Rhodes
                        7) W.Akram
                        8) B.McMillan
                        9) S.Warne
                       10) W.Younis
                       11) C.Ambrose

With Alec as Keeper you can have an extra bowler in the side, giving a
straight 5 man bowling attack + Steve Waugh (and SRT and DeSilva). The
batting is super-strong, with real ability down to no.8 with McMillan, so
a score of 300+ every match would be expected.

Younis wouldn't be my choice for a bowler. I would prefer Kumble instead
of Younis, because of Younis's ability to get hit all over the place in
the slog overs ( or is it just against india? ;-) ). Kumble is a much
more economical bowler, and has a good strike rate too. And he can
control the run-rate much better. He would also be the perfect
compliment to shane warne.
