Mohammed Dasthakir the Dubai Zahirians Skipper, has said it is important for pace bowlers to maintain their focus in the wake of early success and fame. Speaking to there official web page last night, Skipper said it was difficult for DZCC's fast bowlers to make the transition from domestic to Divison cricket, especially when playing hard truf's, and added that fear of injury and the urge to play on a long-term basis could be reasons for many promising seamers to cut down on their pace after the first few weeks. "Focus is surely important, but again everyone lives their own personal life as well. As long as he knows the thin line between foolishness and bravery, that is very important," Dasthakir said. "If you have a mentor or someone is looking up for you, with so much of fun and entertainment involved, if there is one coach or family member, who actually keeps an eye on the player and if the player is ready to listen to them, you are alright. If you are talented and hardworking, nothing should bother you."
we have used 9 fast bowlers in the 21 games they have played since the start of 2010. When asked if immense pressure to perform was the reason behind many struggling to keep their places in the side, Skipper said: "Honestly, you need to be performing rather than complaining. There is stress and there is pressure, especially when you play in UAE conditions. It's actually tough to get on and start performing. It's a challenge for a fast bowler, especially in the turf ball games, but you must endure those stressful moments.," said more of the reason behind bowlers dropping in pace. "Maybe it's the fear of injury. It's always better to give your best every single day. I think that may be the reason - trying to conserve your energy for the next game than giving your best today."
