The captain has today reflected on the manner of his teams performance and victory over Coquet last night,'I thought we bowled and fielded very well.We need to cut down on the extras but it maybe could have been down to a few people trying too hard.My bowlers did not give much away and made it hard for the batsman to score.As for our batting, I thought Rian played a classy knock, really flambuoyant and good on the eye.Ali played sensibly and his innings was crucial in getting us home.I feel we need to concentrate a little hard when chasing such small scores and I got the feeling that during the changeover, a lot of boys thought the game was good as over.Hence, this is where I felt the complacency set in and their was not that spark about our batting which would have been seen had we chased a bigger total.Nevertheless, we got the job done and that was the most important.
Khan said he was not too unhappy with getting only eight points,'First games are always very nervy and edgy.It's all about getting over the line and getting it out of the way.We did that without playing our best and this shows the sign of a good team in one that can win without firing on all cylinders.
Next up is a tricky away game against High Stables and a reunion with some old friends,'Yeah , we are looking forward to that game.They are a good team and have some excellent players.I think it will be exciting and I hope my team can give a good performance.
