30-Aug-2001Danish Kaneria was delighted with his comeback Test performance andpromised to maintain the standard he has now set for himself.”I can’t be more delighted and satisfied with my performance. It wasmy comeback Test and I required to do something special to reclaim myplace in the squad,” the 20-year-old told reporters after the draw ofstumps on the first day.Danish was dropped after two Tests against England before he earnedthe selectors’ nod following a good performance on the tour to SriLanka with Pakistan ‘A’.”It is flattering to play in company like this and then steal thelimelight when champions like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis are sharingthe new ball. You don’t get this opportunity everyday,” the Karachiitesaid.He termed his success to his training at the National Cricket Academyin Lahore and then the tour to Sri Lanka. “These were immense learningexperiences. But the senior players also assisted me during the camp.Overall, it has been a pleasing performance and I am looking forwardto maintain the standards I have set. But not everyday will I be ableto pick six wickets though I will persist hard to be among the wickettakers,” Danish said.Saeed Anwar, who perhaps got the right opponents to slam a crackingcentury, said he was keen to get the three figures for which heconcentrated very hard.”Although the bowling was relatively moderate, but one still needed tostay in the centre and concentrate. It has been a good innings underhot conditions which confirms how much I am keen to perform andcontinue to play for the country,” Saeed said.Saeed said his knees did bother him while emphasizing that he had beenstruggling in the past to play innings because of injuries to both theknees.He said completing 4,000 runs and joining the company of JavedMiandad, Salim Malik, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Zaheer Abbas and Mudassar Nazarwas a great honour. But added that he had not set any goals forhimself.”My priority is to play for Pakistan with distinction. My job is torun and I am keen to score as many runs as I can. I know myresponsibilities at top of the order and am looking forward tofulfilling the job to the best of my abilities.”
