Khan looks forward to Belmont

 (Posted On Fri 10 July, 2009)

After the match being called off this week due to rain, the captain has spoke about the disappointment of not having a game,"its hugely disappointing because by the time our next game comes along against Belmont, it will be two weeks since our last game.The boys were really up for it, after our magnificent victory over Black Widows, but you cant really control the weather.Its nature, and is in the hands of the almighty".
The captain also looked forward to the forthcoming match against Belmot next Wednesday,"It should be another good game like the last one we played against them.They are a good, and organised team who play to there strengths.I think they have won two of there 5 games so know what it feels like to win.We must guard against complacency and I am certainly looking for my batsman to perform a lot better aganist them as opposed to the last time we played against them.We lost wickets to really silly shots, so I will be reminding them about this before they go out.I am looking for partneships between my batsman.So far this season we have always relied on a 'bit of brilliance'from somebody to win us the game.They must learn how to bat together such as bowlers bowl together as a partnership.I have great talent and faith in my batsman, and if I can get them to think about the game a little more, and analyse there own performance, then maybe they will understand the game and play with responsibility.Batting is a very difficult art, you must learn all the nitty gritty stuff, to be successful.Bowlers, will tell whos a thinking batsman and whos not straight away.Thats why I want my batsman to realise and understand match situations without anybody needing to tell them.They are very young, and hopefully they will learn this and be better in the future".
Khan also spoke about the need to get maximum points,"Sparta dropped a point last week so that was good news for us.We keep on winning well and ultimately it puts huge pressure on them to win convincingly.It will all go down to that game, but we must focus and do our job professionaly.I believe we will do well next week, even though we are missing key players.As long as they give me 100% then I can have no complaints".
