Okay, so here's what I got. No spinner, whatsoever.
 
Canada will go same.
 
VC, can I replace Asad Shafiq with Abdur Razzaq then? My team will be the most unbalanced team if I go with the current squad...

 
Shikhar Dhawan
Ajinkya Rahane
Virat Kohli

Match against Nepal, can't take any team lite
 
Italy-flag.png


After a mixed-bag in the warm-ups, Italy go straight in at the deep end against England.

Michael Di Venuto
Mark Pettini
Glen Batticciotto
Gareth Berg :bwl:
Andy Northcote
Brendon Diamanti :bwl:
Carl Sandri :bwl:
Damian Crowley :c: :wk:
Tony Palladino :bwl:
Pepler Sandri :bwl:
Vince Pennazza :bwl:

Not only does this Italian side have a lot of Antipodean experience, but it is nicely balanced for the conditions.

Salpietro loses his place after poor performances in the warm-ups. He is replaced by lively ex-South African Under-19, Vince Pennazza.
 
Waiting For Some Upsets in the World Cup :)

And Hoping It Doesnt Happen with South Africa
 
Netherlands-flag.png


After quite such a comprehensive display in the warm-ups, the Netherlands go into their game against Afghanistan on something of a high.

Stephan Myburgh
Tom Cooper
Graeme van Buuren :bwl:
Colin Ackermann :bwl:
Ryan ten Doeschate :bwl:
Derek de Boorder :wk:
Peter Borren :c:
Scott Kuggelijn :bwl:
Mudassar Bukhari :bwl:
Timm van der Gugten :bwl:
Ahsan Malik Jamil :bwl:

After his pyrotechnics in the warm-ups which resulted in a combined 119* from 60 balls across the two games, Tom Cooper keeps his unfamiliar spot at the top of the order.

Otherwise, the batting line-up is a little harder to pick. The unfortunate ones to miss out are Kervezee (who hasn't impressed recently for Worcestershire), Wasim (who just couldn't break into the side) and Barresi (never really part of the plans).

Bowling-wise, Mudassar Bukhari holds onto his place in the side, despite Dirk Nannes waiting in the wings. His inclusion is based on weight of wickets. Nannes will likely come in for the England game.
 
Uganda-flag.png


Uganda have been hilariously bad thus far. Looks set to continue against the mighty Pakistan.

Roger Mukasa :bwl:
Arthur Kyobe
Abram Mutyagaba
Phillimon Selowa
Benjamin Musoke
Kenneth Kamyuka :bwl:
Lawrence Sematimba :wk:
Junior Kwebiha :bwl:
Ronald Ssemanda :bwl:
Frank Nsubuga :c: :bwl:
Charles Waiswa :bwl:

This side has been picked mostly in the hope that it can bat out its overs. The bowling is never going to be good enough to threaten a side like Pakistan anyway, so really we're just looking to grind out our 50 overs. Despite being utterly woeful so far, Roger Mukasa will probably still get to turn his arm over.

Let's hope we bowl first.
