Okay, so here's what I got. No spinner, whatsoever.

So You playing With 12 men Squad.....

Oops . Drop the #5 Trott.

 

[Asham]

Canada will go same.

 

[Sulaiman7]

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...

Okay.

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
Andy Northcote
Brendon Diamanti
Carl Sandri
Damian Crowley
Tony Palladino
Pepler Sandri
Vince Pennazza

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

 

[Aislabie]

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
Colin Ackermann
Ryan ten Doeschate
Derek de Boorder
Peter Borren
Scott Kuggelijn
Mudassar Bukhari
Timm van der Gugten
Ahsan Malik Jamil

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.

 

[Aislabie]

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

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

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.
