World Cup 2007 South Africa stick with winning 15 Cricinfo staff February 15, 2007 South Africa have hit form ahead of the World Cup ? AFP South Africa have stuck with the 15-man squad which secured a 3-1 series victory over Pakistan for their World Cup campaign. "We are sending a strong, well-balanced and well-prepared squad to meet the challenges of Caribbean conditions against the best in the world," said Gerald Majola, the chief executive of Cricket South Africa. "No stone was left unturned in ensuring that the players have had the very best preparation on offer. Makhaya Ntini will not travel with the rest of the squad to the Caribbean on February 28, instead staying behind for the birth of his second child. Ntini will join up with the squad in Trinidad ahead of the second warm-up match against Pakistan on March 9. Mickey Arthur, the coach, said: "The squad selected gives us all comfort in the belief that the goals set in preparation for the World Cup have been achieved. "The squad going to the Caribbean have proven their ability to take on the best and our performance at the Champions Trophy and our recent victories against India and Pakistan are an indication of the work put in by everyone." South Africa squad Graeme Smith (capt), Loots Bosman, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Jacques Kallis, Justin Kemp, Charl Langeveldt, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Robin Peterson, Shaun Pollock, Ashwell Prince, Roger Telemachus

Re: South Africa stick with winning 15 Wonder how well the likes of Ntini, Pollock, Nel and the rest will perform in WI as a bowling unit. SA is one of the team alongside SL that has a lot of experience in the bowling department. Most of the bowlers including Kallis have great deal of experience in them.
