The captain today reflected on last nights poor display in Beamish.'Well what can I say, we were resoundedly beaten and deservedly so.Wre lost the game in the first part and you will never win any games at this level if you only score 73 runs.It was a poor return and only a miracle could have saved us.I must give credit to my bowlers who were excellent and made High Stables work really hard for their runs.We made it difficult for them but I wish we had showed the same kind of attitude early on in the match.
Khan also said his team missed the presence of Arsalan, Usman and Sonu who infact entered the fray as the last batsman due to not finding the ground,'It was unfortunate really that I never had these players at my disposal.The batting line up was very fragile and it showed.When I was out there in the middle I did my best to keep the innings going to the back end to give Sonu a chance if he did finally make an appearance.When he did we were 8 down and the damage had been done really.However regardless of the players we had missing, I must give big credit to High Stables who played magnifcently.They were the better team on the day and deserved to win.
Khan has told his team to forget about the result and focus on the rest of the season,'Its a blow, I must admit.My players are hurt after this defeat and we are very focused on our next league game against Sparta when I'm sure that we will have a full strength team.We have great character, and this team is very eager to fight back.However, we have a cup game next and our focus is on that.A good cup run normally coincides with a good league run too.Its a good thing the game is only a few days away, this will enable us to get this game out of our system.
