West Indies all time XI (again)?

I'm re-asking this question as it was removed when a troll copied it.

Cricinfo has just started the selection of the all time West Indies XI.

http://www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content%E2%80%A6

I think this will be the most difficult to pick of all the teams - there is so much talent to choose from among the middle order (Lara, Richards, Headley, Weekes, Worrell, Walcott, Kanhai, Sobers, Lloyd all fighting for 4 places - 5 if Walcott keeps wickets) & bowlers (Marshall, Garner, Holding, Ambrose, Croft, Walsh, Roberts, Hall) fighting for 4 places (assuming they don't choose a specialist spinner)

i) Have I left anyone out? (I know I haven't put openers, keepers or spinners on the list)

ii) Is this the most difficult selection of all countries?

iii) Who would you choose?

Update:

This is an all time TEST team

Update 2:

Cricinfo has just posted it's middle order. Three places for to be chasen from the players I mentioned (minus Sobers who will be in the allrounder category) plus Seymour Nurse, Lawrece Rowe, Alvin Kallicharran, Richie Richardson and Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

    Its the toughest XI to make. We could make 2 different teams with the no. of greats West Indies team has had over the years. But still if I had to make one all time WI team it'll be:

    Greenidge

    Haynes

    Chanderpaul

    Lara

    Richards

    Sobers(c)

    Dujon (wk)

    Marshall

    L Gibbs

    Holding

    Roberts

    How many other teams could afford to exclude players of the likes of Lloyd, Worrell, Garner or Walsh!!

    Kermit's team is perfect, Cuthbert Greenidge & Leo Haynes made so many great opening stands that they set the platform for the rest to show the world what CARIBBEAN CAVALIERS can really do.

    Hubert Lloyd was a great captain & a gentleman of the game.
