who is expected to come in for the WC for Pakistan? It would seem strange that they play a second string just before the WC...the side against SL was pretty much the same.Basically 2nd string Pakistan side it seems.
They have been rotated one or two of their main players each game to give their depth a chance to stand up. Also there is that new opener playing against Zimbabwe. Pretty sure his only 18 and can play if not tied up with the national team.who is expected to come in for the WC for Pakistan?

Anwar Ali, Gul and Inzy.who is expected to come in for the WC for Pakistan?
That's interesting - Nepal is placed 11th in the ranking, behind SA and NZ, even though Nepal had beaten both of those two teams and had won the plate championship in 2006.NZ were seeded 9th on the back of past performances. These were ICC ranking going into the World Cup draw.
1. Pakistan
2. India
3. Australia
4. England
5. Bangladesh
6. Sri Lanka
7. West Indies
8. Zimbabwe
9. New Zealand
10. South Africa
Nepal weren't ranked per say. Asia was just given the number one qualifers spot after past performances of Nepal and co.That's interesting - Nepal is placed 11th in the ranking, behind SA and NZ, even though Nepal had beaten both of those two teams and had won the plate championship in 2006.
I am certain this is not based on recent performances or based on the performances of the current teams but probably the previous teams.NZ were seeded 9th on the back of past performances. These were ICC ranking going into the World Cup draw.
1. Pakistan
2. India
3. Australia
4. England
5. Bangladesh
6. Sri Lanka
7. West Indies
8. Zimbabwe
9. New Zealand
10. South Africa
I doubt Bangladesh are ahead of Pakistan in the current Team performances and I will be very surprised if any team other than India or Pakistan win this World Cup.These are the rank according to their recent performance:
1.India
2.Bangladesh
3.Pakistan
4.Srilanka
5.Austrelia
6.England
7.WestIndies
8.South Africa
The cup winner should be whithin the top three.
Past World Cup performances, not recent matches between sides. So yes past sides not current sides. NZ haven't done anything at Under 19 level though, even in series against other sides. Bangladesh would be a lot higher if it was on the back of regular matches. But have kind of choked at the World Cup recently.I am certain this is not based on recent performances or based on the performances of the current teams but probably the previous teams.
I think at U-19 level apart from the top 2 teams who are really at a level above the rest, the rest are about the same ie on any day , team 9 can beat Team 3.
Also NZ is too far lowly ranked in this and NZ U-19 can easily beat Team 3-10 on any day at their best.
If it was on recent performances Bangladesh would easierly be in the top 3, you could argue they should be No 1.I doubt Bangladesh are ahead of Pakistan in the current Team performances and I will be very surprised if any team other than India or Pakistan win this World Cup.
Bangladesh had beaten Pakistan 3-2 in an youth ODI series in Nov-Dec, on Pakistan's own home turfs. How is that Bangladesh are not ahead of Pakistan in the current team performance ?I doubt Bangladesh are ahead of Pakistan in the current Team performances and I will be very surprised if any team other than India or Pakistan win this World Cup.
