PREPARATIONS are complete, it is time for business.

Guernsey have arrived in Singapore and this morning had their final training session before the Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division Five campaign begins tomorrow against Bahrain.

As usual, the weather is hot and humid with the players getting a sweat on very quickly at the Kallang Cricket Ground, which was bathed in sunshine by the time they finished practice at 11.30am, but also surrounded by threatening clouds.

‘You can feel the heat this morning at 9.30am, when the games will start, but we just have to deal with it. It is not even a consideration for the boys now,’ said coach Andy Cornford, just before departing for lunch where he, manager Pete Vidamour, captain Stuart Le Prevost and physio Adam Rochford would talk about the starting XI for the opening game.
