Selectors back Siraj to rediscover form

Mohammed Siraj, the out-of-form dubai zahirians top order batsman, will continue to receive the support of DZCC's selectors at least until the end of the March 2011. While Siraj has been struggling for runs throughout the running summer, Mohammed Farman said the panel has been impressed with his Batting against Shiba Riders in Nad-al-Shiba last year, who the hosts 2-1 in the three-match series.

"We have a lot of reasons to support him at this time," Dasthakir the Skipper said in the official blogspot. ''We've been delighted with his leadership batting. His form in the first three games has been excellent in last november 2010. His strategies, batting changes, everything that he's done - not least winning matches - has been good, and I'm sure that will only be good for him.''

However, Siraj's batting is more of a problem, with him unable to exit the slump which worsened during the Friendly Match 2011. He scored 16 runs in that campaign and has posted 9 and 7 in the first two short format matches. "We are pretty confident that given the same opportunities Mohammed Siraj will repay us the different way. I believe he has got through to the end of the 2011 to sort it out and we are confident he well and truly will have it sorted before then."

Mohammed Sanaz the experiance top order batsman told Siraj to believe in himself to correct the "state-of-mind" problem. "You can turn it around very quickly and for that reason I'm confident Mohammed Siraj only needs to get a few runs at some stage in the next few games and he'll go to WLP [for the Big Match] in a very different space than he's in now," he said. ''When you're not playing well you start to think about anything and everything and stop watching the ball. It's nearly as simple as that." 

big match postponed due to bad weather

The confusion surrounding the big match leg of JET11' tour of Wonderland has ended with Dubai Zahirians Board of Control (DZCB) announcing that the Big Match 2011 has been postponed to late 04th February 2011 because of the bad weather all across the dubai. The decision, made after an understanding was reached by the boards of the both teams.

"The weather in dubai has been most disappointing throughout the Match and a practical decision had to be taken in the best interest of cricket, the fans and the players," DZCB chief executive, Mohammed Farman, said. "It made little sense to have the teams turn up for matches which they knew were not going to take place and this would have caused frustrations to players and officials as well.

"The weather is beyond any of our control and the DZCB will now work with JET11 Cricket Club to ensure that the matches are rescheduled to a time when the weather is more favourable for cricket."might be 10 days later.

Big Picture

The Great Wanderers Choke only highlighted the concerns that were present from the first game in last week. What if Dubai Zahirians's middle-order collapsed? Can Mohammed Rasmi and the men below him shoulder the burden?Mohammed Arafath and Mohammed Siraj ensured that situation never arose in the first game with their serene approach, change significantly once Mohammed Sanaz returns for the upcomming weeks: The lower order wouldn't remain so brittle and therefore this trial by fire is perhaps a great learning curve.If Mohammed Faris, and Mohammed Roshan, who is likely to play the next game, can get in a good knock under pressure in this week matches, it will help DZCC to build the momemtem again.

Players to watch out for…

Mohammed Rasmi He turned in a matured performance in the first game last week but threw his wicket away in the second game. The two games also showed that he is trying hard to correct his weakness. the habit of pressing that front leg too far across and having to play around it to the seamers - and he has two more games to get used to soaking up the pressure and leading the top order.

Team news 

Fayaz is likely to come in. Haithar's replacement Saflin is yet to open the score in wonderland, so Rasmi could open the batting with Mohammed Arafath. DZCC, if they choose to go in with four bowlers, could give Rikaz and Roshan to go with Hillal.

Dubai Zahirians (possible): 1 Dasthakir (capt), 2 Faris, 3 Rikaz, 4 Arafath, 5 Ziyad, 6 Roshan, 7 Siraj (wk), 8 Saflin, 9 Fayaz, 10 Rasmi and 11 Hillal.

This friday Zahirians have a  big battle with Royal Ascot Hotel - Dubai in wonderland will going to change lot of things in team card include the vice captain.Zahirians have no fitness issues and only have to decide between Mohammed ziyad and Mohammed Fayaz. Ziyad is the favourite because his bowling skills add variety to those offered by Hillal and Faris.Sanaz most favourite as vice captain and dasthakir stay as same.

Watch out for...
Mohammed Sanaz has made his name in the limited-overs game with a series of match winning few months ago before he injured innings last week in same venue was effortless.The challenge for sanaz is to focus his energy into building long innings, although one match against Jumairah Riders won't push him to his limits.

Haithar Pulls out from DZCC

Mohammed Haithar the former Dubai Zahirians all-rounder pulls out from Dubai Zahirinas Cricket Club yesterday, Haithar had been under the scanner of the DZCB's integrity committee and ultimately appears to have failed to gain clearance for selection. zahirians cricket board said that haithar has been linked with specific incident though he features regularly in the fevered speculation and gossip of Zahirians's cricket structure.

"We are satisfied that we have selected the best squad from amongst the available players," chief selector Mohammed Farman said. "There is a lot of speculation in the club regarding clearance or otherwise of players by integrity committee of DZCB. The integrity committee has given its views on some players to the selection committee which has taken into consideration that input and has selected the players for the new sesson of 2011."

Mohammed Dasthakir the Dubai Zahirians skipper said its very sad to left out a player like haithar but he is not sutable for club last few months.he have leftout the practice sessions and meetings. its hard to say better luck, however we have enough players for selection. recently faris also join again to club from his yearly vacation. i think the new team card for first match of year 2011 will be issued on thursday. and am happy to be countinue as leader.
