Thami Tsolekile blog: "Under pressure"

We have put ourselves under pressure for our next two matches after losing to the Warriors on Friday.
    It’s never nice to lose such a close game, especially off the penultimate ball, but we only have ourselves to blame.
    We were probably about 20 or 30 runs short when we batted but I must give credit to our bowlers who gave us a chance in the match but we just couldn’t pull it through in the end.
    We didn't help ourselves in the field with a few dropped catches and I missed a stumping and you can't afford to give a team like the Warriors even a sniff because they are a top side in very good form at the moment
    Our batting has not been great during the Standard Bank Pro20 and we still seem to be finding our feet, which is a little bit surprising because we showed some good form during the MTN40.
    I thought Vaughn van Jaarsveld’s knock of 72 against the Warriors was something special. Without his innings we were probably looking at only 120 or 130 but he helped us to 150 to give us something to bowl at.
    Hopefully things will come good for us when we play the Dolphins in our next match.
    You are never quite sure what you are going to get from the men from Durban.
    They are very unpredictable and can be excellent on one day and not so good the next but, believe me, we will be preparing for a good Dolphins team.
    Having only picked up one win from three games we probably need to win our next two games to have any chance of make the semis.
    Hopefully the Cobras can do us a favour by beating the Dolphins on Saturday which would make our game against the men in green something of a quarter-final.
    If we can show the same sort of form that helped us to a win over the Titans then we should be in with a very good shout.

I think that they should do a good game there, because the supporters believe in the team and in the fact that they can do a lot of things.
