Spinners put block on GICC's run chase

SPIN to win. That was the MCC's motto yesterday as their slow bowlers stifled any chance of the Guernsey Island Cricket Club overcoming the visitors' total of 224 on a slow KGV wicket yesterday.

The home side ended up on 213 and – with two wickets left – the match, which was a declaration game, resulted in a draw.

'They came on and shut it up. We had a great start but unfortunately our middle order didn't quite keep the tempo up.'
