바카라Even though the outcome wasn바카라t in the favor of our squad, we put ourselves in good position in both game and tried to capitalize the same throughout,바카라 Colombo Strikers Head Coach Carl Crowe said after the completion of the match.

바카라We were a part of good things and we are aware where we need to improve. The players demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and tenacity two qualities that will be essential to our success moving forward.바카라

Sharing details about the team바카라s preparation for the next set of matches in Colombo, Srilanka, Crowe said, 바카라I understand that we got three games back in Colombo now and we need to sustain more than half the game, so our main preparation begins now.바카라

Talking about motivation during matches, Head Coach Carl Crowe says: 바카라Of you course you don바카라t motivate, if you seek motivation, you are in the wrong sport. In order for us to succeed we must acknowledge the sport. Coaches are there to support their players, each person needs to focus on their own game. Knowing where you need to grow is important as is receiving training in a few key areas of course tactical speaking.바카라

Crowe also said that back-to-back matches were not a problem.

바카라If you are a domestic or an international franchise you will be needing to perform back-to-back. There is no excuse.바카라

Glenn Phillips who has scored three half-centuries in the tournament talked about sticking to the process.

바카라Oh it바카라s nice and sticking to the process, keeping it calm and clear is what it all takes. Unfortunately, there wasn바카라t enough today.바카라

Talking about the assessment of the pitch in the match against Jaffna Kings, Glenn Philips shares, 바카라There was a little bit of two paces to the wicket. Credit to Jaffna they bowled really well and in last quarterback obviously the position we got was a little disappointing not to get the 200 or 220 mark.바카라

In the end talking about the different conditions of a day game as compared to night game, Gleen Phillips said, 바카라Obviously during night game it becomes a little bit tacky because of the gripping of the wicket and the coolness of the air becomes a challenge. Day time it becomes a bit easier, even the night games are fun but definitely the gripping of the wicket becomes a challenge.바카라

Colombo Strikers play Jaffna Kings again on the 14th of July with an aim to break their two-match losing streak.
