Cricket World Cup

Canada at the World Cup

Canada are participating for the third time in the World Cup in 2007.
Canada's first World Cup match was on Jun 9, 1979 v Pakistan at Headingley, Leeds
Their best performance has been reaching the semi-finals in 1995, after their only ever World Cup victory on Feb 11, 2003 against Bangladesh at Kingsmead, Durban. In that match Canada beat Bangladesh by 60 runs.
The major highlight for Canada at the World Cup is John Davison's hundred from just 67 balls against the West Indies in the 2003 World Cup.
The 2007 squad includes a forklift driver, accountant, salesman, and teacher. There are just two professional players among the squad.
Canada have the oldest team in the 2007 competition with an average age of over 31. They have the only two 40-plus players of the tournament: George Codrington and Anderson Cummins. Cummins was the West Indies highest wicket-taker in the 1992 World Cup.
