Toronto - still not confident enough in the batting (esp with G Pollock now injured) to go back to the 4-prong. M Crowe recalled for Graeme Pollock with Goddard again playing as 4th seamer.

We haven't got a fourth seamer, no point in using it.

Please use this team for next week as well (barring injuries: in which case batsman replacement will be Mushtaq Mohammad, bowler replacement Chandrasekhar, and keeper replacement...Murray I suppose?). I'm in Greece atm and can't rely on my connection...

The injury of Courtney Walsh is playing into our hands, as the pitches we have played on have been spinners pitches, meaning we havn't needed the extra fast bowler.

Good chance of sneaking a win here, but with Tendulkar injured, the other batters need to step up in a big way.
