Khan: I would not swap Arsalan

 (Posted On Wed 7 July, 2010)

The skipper today reflected on the two games against High Stables and Merz,'We got out of jail against High Stables.It was a shocking performance with the bat and we know we could do better.I let certain individuals know what is expected of them after the game and what they need to do.I felt my team were down because of their partnership towards the end and they shouldnt have been because 120 is easily gettable with the batting we have.However, complacency set in, and we struggled. I must pay great credit to Sonu, Ali, and Owais who played excellent knocks to steer us home.It shows a sign of a good team that can win while playing badly.

The skipper then reflected on the game against Merz and the genius of Arsalan,'Well, what can you say.I'm so lucky to have him in my team.You can't set a field to him because no ground is big enough.This guy does not amaze me, he keeps doing it consistently every week.I think he is one of the best players in this whole league and if not the best.I honestly would not swap him for any other player in this league.He's just a world class player. Khan also payed tribute to Sonu and Rian who played flashy knocks,'Sonu's innings when unnoticed a bit.But let me tell you, that was a fantastic display of hitting too.He timed the ball on occasions and pulled the big shots out too.Rian played well too. I decided to open with him again and he did not let me down.We have got a well balanced team and I was delighted with our overall performance.

Khan has indicated that his team want to wrap up the league ASAP,'That's the aim. 'I said we will put out a statement and we did.Teams will find it difficult to stop us now.We want to go up and nothing will stop us from doing so.We are looking forward to our next game against Sparta.
