Just a quick one, owing to the delay in ODI (and also my hectic Saturday schedule) - these will be simmed either late Saturday night (depending on alcohol consumption when watching England thrash Wales) or some time Sunday.

Toronto - No idea what to do! The lack of both variety in our bowling and overall strength in depth has been exposed in the Super Sixes. I would have brought Boje in, but he's injured. I'll go with a fairly negative line-up and rest a couple of 1-day stars. Goddard in for Garner and Rowan gets a chance ahead of Crowe. Graeme Pollock's lost the captaincy.

CL Walcott (West Indies)
RB Kanhai (West Indies)
KR Miller (Australia)
Imran Khan (Pakistan)
RJ Shastri (India)
Fazal Mahmood (Pakistan)
NAT Adcock (South Africa)

Well nothing else seems to be working, so Shastri comes in as a late order bat and hopefully an economical offspinner at the very least.

EDIT: Gilchrist is injured so Langer has to take the mitts. First he put them on his feet so I'm not hopeful. Graveney comes in at 7.

Walsh and Tendulkar are out, which hurts us alot. Gough and Laxman in.
