Extra batsman or extra bowler poser
GUERNSEY manager Dave Hearse will wait until the last minute before he names his team to face hosts Singapore today in the opening match of the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division Six at the Singapore Cricket Club.
'It depends on the weather and it depends on the wicket,' he said yesterday evening.
'Because of the weather we've not seen any wickets. It's been under cover most of the time. It's been very wet and the outfield was wet today.'
All week, the east Asian city state has had steamy 30C-plus temperatures.
And like clockwork, it has also experienced early morning thunder showers around 4am each day that last for a couple of hours.
But Hearse (pictured) expects today's game to get under way without a hitch.
'They have a lot of rain in the last three weeks but, having said that, the Singapore Cricket Club is a fantastic ground and it is obviously well looked after.
It drains quickly,' he said.
Hearse is expected to name near enough the same 11 that defeated Jersey in the inter-insular earlier this month with wicket-keeper Tom Kimber coming in for the non-travelling Matt Oliver.
