GUERNSEY knew Nepal had a strong bowling attack and it was proven yesterday at Port Soif where they lost to the Asians by 73 runs.

The Himalayan country had bowled out the Bahamas for just 70 on Monday and with the island side chasing a less than impressive total of 209, they dismissed the Sarnians for 136. ‘It was a good bowling attack,’ said Guernsey captain Stuart Le Prevost.

‘They played our spinners well because they face good spin all the time. All we can do is play against these type of guys and get better.’

Nepal and the Bahamas were on the island to play warm-up games ahead of the ICC World Cricket League Division Five that starts in Jersey tomorrow.
