lily’s healing mission
PESHAWAR. Feb 17: InJuryhit England, still smarting from an unexpected loss to New Zealand, is determined to stay focused to beat cricket newcomers United Arab Emirates in Peshawar on Sunday.
Although England were relieved to learn senior batsman Robin Smith declared himself healthy, there was some doubt over the fitness of batsman" Graeme Hick and all-rounder Dominic Cork
Hick is recovering from a tight hamstring while Cork is nursing a sore knee and may miss the UAE match, which should be a sure win for England.
Smith injured his groin in a pre-tournament warm-up session and missed the opening match. He still faces a fitness test before the start of play, team officials say.
Skipper Michael Atherton, aware of England's strength against UAE. said he was wary of underestimating the new squad.
■We will filed what we believe is our best team,, after taking Into account the pitch
and the opposition," he said.
England would still prefer to play Hick ahead of Smith and give the South African-l»rn Batsman a few more days to recuperate from the injury.
Injuries are inevitable in tournaments like this and travel does not help either." Atherton said. "And with a squad of 14, players must be prepared to play when only 85 per cent fit if necessary.'
"England have travelled ex-' ten lively since they left Lahore to attend the opening ceremony in Calcutta.
If England can pull off vic-' tories against UAE and Holland In four days, they will qualify for. the quarterfinals regardless of their results against South Africa and hosts Pakistan
"Playing iasser known teams creates a reverse kind of pressure." said English cricket boss Ray Illingworth. "They've got nothing to lose and will try everything possible to win against us."
The defeat in the World Cup opener upset England's plana for their leaser known matches. he said.
"We wanted to use these matches for a good hit up. but It's not the case anymore." Illingworth said. "What you neecl is a good 15 to 20 minute* in a match to turn the
course of it. and I think we have the players capable of doing that.
Illingworth expects his team will do well at the Arbab Niaz Stadium, where England have a 100 per cent success record.
Mike Getting's side played two games tn Peshawar in 1987. beating Sri Lanka in a World Cup match and then defeating Pakistan during a three-match one-day series
All-rounder Philip DeFreitas who celebrates his 30th blrth-*-day Sunday could get the nod ahead of either medium pace man Darren Gough or Peter Martin:
Atherton rated the grassless pitch prepared for the match aa one of the best he has seen so far in the World CUUAE could be looking forward to a much refined performance after their lacklustre effort while losing by 169 runs to South Africa in Rawalpindi
Skipper Sultan Zarawani was given a clean bill of health and will lead,his side. He was hurt by an Allan Donald bouncer, which struck him on the left side of his head
UAE have hinted at a change to their side, bringing in hard-hitting Salim Raza for Mohammad Aslam
