Ratty relieved after win

The captain has spoken after this weeks nailbiting win over Fenham Hall. 'We felt a lot of pressure going into this match because we knew that Three tuns had won their game and if we had any aspirations of finishing top then this was a 'must win' game.However, I knew it was a pressure cooker game for them too because if they wanted to keep their chances of promotion open then they had to win also.

I thought our batting was real patchy.We needed someone to get a 30 or 40 and then this would have enabled us to get up to around 130 to 140 which I would have felt comfortable with.It didnt help by the fact that Arsalan had to go off and then come on the end.However, luckily for us he did because them two sixes at the end proved to be crucial. Khan later payed a glowing contribution to Rian who produced a match winning display with some accurate swing bowling,'It was crucial that someone stepped up.He was very condfident and said to me give me the ball I will make it happen.I had confidence in him because he really is a top performer and an experienced player.I also must pay credit to Javed whp supported him admirably from the other end.Their overs won us the game really but we were taken right down to the wire.

Oceans now look set to seal promotion if they win their final game against Merz,'I have told my boys that if we win then it dont matter what three tuns do.We deserve to finish as champions because we have played the best cricket this season.there will be no slip up in our final game and I will send out a very strong team on the day.We have worked very hard to get into this position and we have one more obstacle to cross.Inshallah, we will be victorious come 8pm on Monday.
