Jet11's bowling isn't their strongest suit, though, and they are up against one of the strongest batting outfits in the UAE tournament, Dubai Zahirians. While it was expected that Mohammed Hillal and Mohammed Irshad the new commer would plaster the bowling, the surprise package has been the form of Mohammed Zahir at the top of the order. Add to that the solidity of Mohammed Siraj, the threatening presence of Mohammed Dasthakir, and the hitting of Mohammed Roshan and Mohammed Rafeek and the scale of the challenge facing Mohammed Zaneer's bowlers becomes evident. One thing the JET11 team, will remind there team of will be the inconsistency of its opponents they have alternated between victory and defeat in their past five matches against DZCC. Like Jet11 Zahirians's bowling attack is also not among the more potent ones in the last few Months, which means there could be a run-fest at the Wondreland when the two sides face off.

Team Talk
Zahirian's Frontline players haven't been as influential as the finishing recruits in most of the jet11 team. Mohammed Roshan is one who has consistently delivered, but Dasthakir will mostly have to pick the out-of-form Mohammed Nazeer and Anis-ul-Rahman. Malinga could also be needed to give the side options, especially with all the DZCC bowlers struggling.

Jet11 have to ponder whether to retain Mohammed Zaneer or to bring back Mohammed Shifan, both of whom have performed well in the Last few Months. Mohammed Rizvi hasn't had too much of an impact in the last few matches, which means Mohammed Ikram could be brought back.

DZCC: (probable) Dasthakir, Siraj, Roshan, Hillal, Shuhaib, Irshad, Rafeek, Malinga, Nazeer, Zahir and Imran.

In the spotlight
Zahirian's Medium Facer Mohammed Roshan has rapidly won over the crowd with his enthusiasm and tight bowling. He has had little support from the other quicks, though, with Mohammed Irshad and Mohammed Shuhaib. In JET11 Mohammed Zaneer has had a forgettable Sesson so far, but he's one of the game's great big-match players. Last year, he stopped the in-form in the same venue, Mohammed Hillal. Can he repeat that performance again?

Chatter
"Night Battle is a lottery, but we couldn't use that excuse anymore, so we planned every tiny aspect of the game right from what kind of shots to play after losing a wicket to how wide or slow to bowl to a batsman in the slog overs."DZCC personel advisor Mohammed Anas says the team's turnaround is no fluke.

Captain Returns on Big Stage

The demotion of opening batsman Mohammed Shamil to the reserves and the inclusion of skipper Mohammed Dasthakir are among a host of changes in Zahirians's BIG BATTLE - 2012 squad against JET X1 Sports Club on comming friday in Wonderland Park. Zahirians's selectors have dropped four of the 15 players who were part of the last series against North Idians in same venue, demoted two to reserve status, and called up five. They also continued to not pick Anis ul Rahamn and Madhu.

Mohammed Fayas, Mohammed Ziyad, Mohammed Sanaz and Ayyup Padladka, allrounder Mohammed Rikaz and medium-pacer Mohammed Nazeer were dropped from the squad that played Last year with same oppenent. Mohammed Shuhaib and medium-pace allrounder Mohammed Roshan, who were also got  part series after selections.Mohammed Irshad and Malinga the new comming all-rounders also won there places.The selectors did not name vice-captain, but said their names would be "declared shortly". as skipper Dasthakir returns and remains same.

Dubai Zahirians With three wins in their previous four games in 2012, they are undoubtedly favourites, a concept so vital to most sporting contests, but considered taboo in the short format games. They have earned the tag, and not just through the belligerence of Mohammed Siraj. Mohammed Imran and Mohammed Rafeek have been consistent, mohammed Dasthakir has been effective in his unassuming manner, Mohammed Hillal has shown glimpses of his abilities and, perhaps, most importantly they've been relatively safe with their catching in the past tournaments plagued by poor fielding.

The zahirians selectors will also be watching closely. There is a long season ahead and a pool of reserve talent will come in handy. At least one of will be appearing in Siraj with a replacement needed for at No. 1, while there is also a batting vacancy due to Mohammed Izzath's and Mohammed Shamil's Vacation.Dubai Zahirians had announced their squad on Thursday, a day ahead of the series extended deadline for naming the 14. Mohammed Razeen, the former vice captain, and wicket keeper mohammed Arafath have also been left out of the probables.

Top-order all rounder Mohammed Roshan has made a comeback to the Dubai Zahirians squad for their upcoming tour of RSS. Mohammed Nasmi, mohammed Shadeek and Mohammed Rikaz are missed out since they was ineligible for selection, after declining a domestic contract in favour of playing grade cricket in Dubai. There were no other surprises in the 12-member side that will be assistent led by Mohammed Shamil.

 Mohammed Roshan played the last of his 68th short format game in December 2011 before being dropped from the side. He has had a good run of form for the zahirians in domestic cricket, which helped him force his way back into the squad. "Roshan has earned a recall into the squad as he has done very well in the last copule of domestic competitions and is one of the few batsmen who has been consistent," Mohammed Farman, convener of selectors, said. "He is an experienced and aggressive player."

Zahirians Cricket's eligibility policy for selection provides for exceptions in the case of one-off tournaments out side from home., such as the one given to Haithar and Faris for his out side assignments, unlike Imran, declined a contract, which ruled him out of contention.

Mohammed Roshan has also earned a recall, the selectors seeking an experienced head to help a young bowling attack battle India's XI batsmen at the WLP on coming Friday.Shamil and Shuhaib replaced Mohammed rikaz and mohammed ziyad from the XI that was beaten by jet 11 in nad-al-Shiba, with mohammed Shanaz and mohammed Fayaz unable to be chosen due to continued fitness complaints.sanaz aggravated a calf problem on day one of the team's batting camp in jumeirah.


mohammed Farman, the DZCB selector, said mohammed shamil would open the batting, with Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Izzath to vie for one spot and Ayyub Padladka and Mohammed dasthakir the skipper other."Izzath has been in wonderful form, and the intention is that he will open the batting with mohammed Siraj," Inverarity said. "Of the XI that will line up on December 23, it will either be Hillal or Roshan."It is likely if Shamil plays that he'll be batting at No. 3, if Hillal plays then he'd be at No. 6 and the batting line-up would be re-arranged accordingly, and then it would seem likely that one of Mohammed Rimaz and mohammed Shadeek would be 12th man. That's the anticipated balance of the side but we'll have to wait on weather and pitch conditions and final form and fitness."


"Izzath has been in excellent form in recent weeks. His inclusion is in recognition of his consistently good performances and we anticipate that he can provide steadiness at the top of the order. Mohammed Hillal has regained form this season and he provides a strong and reliable bowling option.

Mohammed Rasmi and Mohammed Saflin, along with the other three players who spent an extra week in Srilanka, have arrived to Dubai so the Zahirians are now at full strength. Facing the likes of Mohammed Arafath, Mohammed Rikaz and Ayyub Padladkka, who has made an impressive return to action after a career-threatening back injury's, will be a good test of adjustment for them on a WLP pitch that often offers help to the pace bowlers like Mohammed Hillal and Mohammed Roshan.

 Regardless of their form, however, Mohammed Ziyad and mohammed Fayaz will line up in the  side alongside mohammed Dasthakir, Mohammed Sadeek and Mohammed Rimaz.

They went for an X-ray and I think everyone was reasonably surprised to see it was quite a substantial fracture." "He is [important], particularly in those conditions as well, being able to clear the ropes in the manner that he does," Dastha said. "It's a big loss for us potentially. Hopefully there will be an opportunity for him to play. If he isn't available someone is going to have to fill those shoes."

However Sanaz added that he thought Mohammed Saflin, who has also flown home due to vacation, so Sanaz would be available for selection for Zahirians's opener, and is expecting everyone to feel refreshed when they tackle their next challenge in Sharjah. "Hopefully everyone's going to be raring to go for that comming game. Hopefully everyone's rested as well so that DZCC are ready to go."
