Allan Douglas had to borrow whites and make an appearance as reserve fielder on Saturday against Barbados.

But no decision on whether reinforcements will be summoned for the four remaining tournament games in Guyana has been made -- although the matter has been discussed by team management.

"We had a meeting on Sunday about that and we were talking about a fella but we don't want to release who it is,'' said manager Delby Borden. "Yes, we do have somebody in mind.'' Douglas, still active with his club Cleveland, has played down talk of a comeback at the international level.

With three games still to be played after today, there may be a need to send for another player, especially if the injury situation gets any worse. Bermuda lost their first two games of the tournament.

The four injured players are spinner Bruce Perinchief, Glenn Smith and the latest casualties, Clevie Wade and Roger Blades. They were all due to have tests yesterday to determine their fitness level for today's match against group leaders Guyana.

Indications are Smith will miss today's match because of a hamstring pull, leaving the team short of one of their key batsmen. In his absence captain Albert Steede is expected to continue as Clay Smith's opening partner.

Guyana have relied heavily on their slow bowlers with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Roger Harper, Mahendra Magomootoo and captain Carl Hooper doing the damage as the Windwards were bowled out for just 131 on Saturday.

Bermuda, too, will bank heavily on spin bowling, in the hopes of keeping the strong batting lineup of Guyana to a respectable total.

Borden revealed on the weekend that Bermuda hope to play all three spin bowlers today, which means a first outing for 18-year-old Kameron Fox, the youngest member of the squad.

Bermuda, having scored more than 200 runs in their first two matches, with Clay Smith leading the way with two half-centuries, have certainly not been outclassed in the batting department.

What is needed now is for others in the top order to come good with the bat, as twice Bermuda have gotten off to bad starts before fighting back.

"The players are really still into the games, everbody's spirits are high and the players are happy that they are competing just as good as the rest of the teams,'' said the manager.

"We've heard so much talk about Patterson Thompson (Barbados and West Indies fast bowler) but Clay really ate him up. Our players are saying that they are on the same level, they just have to want it a little bit more.'' Borden acknowledged Guyana, the joint defending champions, are the team to beat in the group as well as in the tournament.

And while Bermuda played their first two matches in front of small crowds, the match today should bring out the Guyana fans by the thousands. "They are probably got the stronger team but we're playing on a ground, Bourda, that if we can win the toss it could play a major part on that pitch,'' Borden feels.
