I advised the team to be honest and responsible: Mohsin Khan – Cricket News Update
Pakistan’s stand in Coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-Hasan-Khan-c77595, has said that he asked each player to come out with his best at the second triumphant Test fixture against the Sri Lankan tourists, and that the young lot on the roster should not be dependent on the senior players.
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 said that “It’s a team game and every man has to play his part instead of relying on the senior players”.
“I advised them to be honest and responsible as we are here to perform our duty and are expected to deliver our best. The important thing I had transmitted to the boys was that no matter how big a player you are, you aren’t bigger than Pakistan,” the Coach
added.
For the Men in Green, Friday’s win came as a worthy reprisal against the Lankans, having suffered a stalemate during the series opener, where team Pakistan missed out on a close victory opportunity.
However, Friday’s performance surely delivered an improved show from the hosts; as claimed by the team’s Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, prior to the game, which was set to be staged at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Opting to bat first on Day 1 of the bout, Sri Lanka soon became victim to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037, who reduced the batting side to lose 4 swift wickets before even reaching the 15 overs mark.
Complements to the Men in Green spinners, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 was finally bowled out before the close of the opening day, which wrapped up with the team’s opening pair scoring 42 runs without any of loss of wicket.
Though a crawling batting performance by the Men in Green batters, but the side managed to dominate the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 with their imposing tally of 403 runs, against which the Sri Lankan batters managed to come out win an accessible chase of just 94 runs.
With a full session still left to play, the much contributing partnership of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azhar-Ali-c46890, finally led the team to mark their much needed win on the competition, handing over a 9 wickets rout to the Lankans, who now trail by 0-1.
