Namibia coach Johan Rudolph wants his side to curb their natural attacking instincts in the World Cricket League Division Two tournament that begins today in Dubai.The pre-tournament favourites, alongside hosts UAE, Namibia are well known for the aggressive cricket that they play.However, Rudolph wants his side to take a more low risk approach this week and has downplayed the chances of the Intercontinental Shield winners finishing top.“We beat UAE in the I-Shield but this is a different game,” said Rudolph. “We said back in Namibia that we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves here, let’s play game for game.“Namibia is known for playing high risk cricket, I want more low risk cricket with better strike rotation when we are batting.”Namibia begin their tournament today against UAE, a game that could set the tone for both sides tournaments, before facing their African neighbours Uganda, tomorrow. For UAE skipper Khuram Khan today’s game is the chance to even the score after his side’s heart-breaking I-Shield loss last September.“We are very well prepared for this event,” said skipper Khan. “We’ve been playing matches constantly over the last four weeks against two teams, so we feel ready to go. It was heart breaking to lose on home ground to Namibia in the I-Shield, so we’re looking forward to playing to equal the record.”Like Rudolph, Khan believes the new faces in the UAE side will give them an edge but also insisted they would be taking it one game at a time.“There are a lot of new players on the UAE team, Shaiman Anwaar and a new wicketkeeper, Swapnil Patil, who are all playing incredibly well. Hong Kong have a very good new side, and we’ve been following the team. Bermuda as well- they practise a lot they’ve played more than we have on our home ground at the ICC Global Cricket Academy.”Uganda too will fancy their chances of finishing in the top spots, and skipper Mirza Baig believes Namibia are the greatest threat to his team.“Namibia, for sure,” said Baig. “They are a very good side, very experienced and have lots of good players. They are playing better than good and are probably the best side.”With Namibia, Uganda, and UAE expected to feature in the top four, common consensus has Bermuda, and newcomers Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong battling it out for the vital fourth spot.Bermuda and PNG face each other today, while Hong Kong take on Uganda. With Bermuda and Hong Kong then playing tomorrow, the first two games will go a long way to determining who succeeds and who fails.“All sides are going to be competitive,“ said Bermuda skipper David Hemp, “the two from Division Three will be confident following their achievements and those already in Division Two will be confident as well.“Every game’s a challenge, we’re just going to concentrate on what we’re doing and play the best cricket we can.”
