The article which I read was written some time in 2005-06. India is the correct answer. But not sure if some other country has overtaken now.
 
Following is the list:

1) KS Ranjitsinhji            Sarodar, Kathiawar , India
2) EG Wynyard               Saharanpur , Uttar Pradesh , India
3) RA Young                    Dharwar, Karnataka, India
4) DR Jardine                  Malabar Hill, Bombay, Maharashtra , India
5) KS Duleepsinhji          Sarodar, Kathiawar , India
6) Nawab of Pataudi Sr  Pataudi, Punjab , India
7)  GM Emmett                Agra , Uttar Pradesh , India
8)  MC Cowdrey              Ootacumund Bangalore , India

They've definitely had cricketers born in Australia, NZ, Pakistan, SA and Zimbabwe from memory.

England have had Cricketers from all over the world mate, isn't Amjad Khan a Danish or lived there or something?
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

I think you can safely say he's not strictly of Danish origin

I think we can definitely say that! Probably Paki origin SW, but he was born in Denmark and played a bit of cricket for them. Denmark is the side that Belinda Clark scored the first and only double ton in an ODI against. (If you count women's cricket in anything).

A lot of the first cricketers that played for WI and Australia were born in England.

Right then, I had been waiting for JP to make the last post since he started the thread, but he's too busy so I will take the honour instead.

For me, it was a fairly unmemorable series, with no batting performances that I would hail as classic and relatively few truly gripping passages. The personal highlight - inevitably I suppose since I have been banging the drum about the guy since 2005 - was Stuart Broad's Ashes winning spell at the Oval, which was particularly sweet in the face of all the doubts being written about him here and elsewhere.

Anyway, anyone reading this thread from the start without knowing the result must assume Australia won 5-0 because clearly, reading the posts from some of our most knowledgeable and in no way one-eyed members, England were a bunch of no good bums, led by a skipper who couldn't perform under pressure, feeble in the face of cricketing gods such as Phil "The New Bradman Until Dropped After 2 Games" Hughes, Mitchell "Worst Cricketer Of The Year Ever" Johnson, Nathan "Can't Get Picked On A Raging Tuner" Hauritz, and Brett "Can't Get Picked At All" Lee, so let's just remind ourselves of the result -

England 2 Australia 1

Whoa, hang on, how did that happen, England had that no-good Bopara in their team??? Surely Peter " Emerging Leaking Fewer Runs Than Mitchell Johnson Cricketer of the Year" Siddle could have bowled them out all the time, England's best batsman didn't even bother playing most of the series for god's sake!

Nope. I just checked and apparently that actually was the score, so congratulations to Ricky "Lost More Ashes Series Than Most" Ponting for writing his name in the history books. Gary Pratt says hi.
