Faris expects quicks to swing

Mohammed Faris the Dubai Zahirians All-rounder, has said quick bowlers will relish bowling on the fresh pitches in Jumairah So during the Srilankan Championship 2010 . He has been in top form this year, reclaiming a regular place in Zahirians's limited-overs sides and sending down one of the fastest deliveries just following Mohammed Hillal.

"Dubai Zahirians's always traditionally been a good place to bowl quick," Faris said. "I think the wickets usually offer quite a bit, and some of the grounds offer altitude, where the ball reportedly travels quicker through the air. I think the fast bowlers are licking their lips."

Mohammed Faris expected stiff competition in the Srilankan Championship, and didn't think the cash-rich teams will have an edge in the tournament. "It's a good chance for all the qulifited clubs to put their best players on the park and see how they measure up against each other," he said. "They have the big-gun players and the Sri Lankan teams are pretty talented themselves, so it's a big raffle about who's going to make the final." when we are playing.

The Dubai Zahirians went down by five wickets to JBS SC in their final game on Friday in Srilankan Championship.They kick off their campaign against same team on Sunday and also have Lankan Boys, Ajman Riders and Jet11 SC in their future fixings.
