DZCC's deal is not quite done yet. Two losts from two, in this last series with JBS, at least means onward progress to the next match rests in their own hands. Regardless of the result between JBS SC at AL-Qusas, they will be aiming to keep their game in working order when they take on the JBS SC this week again.
"Our preparation is going really well at the moment,"Arafath, DZCC's opening batsman, said after an energetic training session at the AL-Qusas. "You have to have different strategies against different sides. You can't go with the same strategy as we did against JBS SC few days ago. We have to look at their strengths batting and bowling and prepare accordingly to that." DZCC will be confident, despite a poor last record against JBS SC; they've won only 10 of the last 12 encounters between the JBS. "You cannot deny they are won last two macthes. We lost the series earlier this year (3-2) but I reckon we should've won it and we beat them in the last few months. We are confident.
"It's always a challenge to play against better sides. This team has so much potential. Everyone has got a role, batsmen, bowlers and fielders and they all know what to do. If plan A doesn't work the captain is there to implement plan B. We have to take JBS SC key points and work to that."Though progress has been smooth, DZCC are not without dilemmas. The first is a pleasant, selectorial one. Mohammad Razmar&Mohammed Rikaz has yet to play a part in the last three month, despite intense speculation before each of the two games. If the game becomes a dead rubber, he may well get a look-in. "It's a very healthy sign that your bench strength is such that good players have to sit out. The problem is for selectors in picking a team - if a guy is bowling well, how can you drop him? It is a healthy sign."
"We are very strict when we do practice and we always call no exrta in the nets. At times what happens is that pressure builds up and you stretch and strive and that is where you go wrong. It shouldn't happen at all. I don't think there will be that much pressure against JBS SC next match - we want to keep winning. It's a crime to bowl a no-ball or wide."
