There might be some bowlers in Bermuda who appear pretty fast, but that's nothing compared to the West Indies pace attack.

With the Island's national team going up against some of the quickest bowlers in the world, practise this week required something a little different.

So, in anticipation of things to come from Windies quicks Jerome Taylor and Fidel Edwards, members of Bermuda's squad have been subjected to heavy bombardment in front of a bowling machine that has been cranked up as high as 85 miles per hour on a crease shortened to 20 yards.

"The bowling machine has been placed back of a length so we have been playing off the back foot and trying to get forward while also getting used to the pace of the ball," Romaine explained.

"Hopefully over the next few days we will get used to the extra pace so come next week we will be ready," he added.

Edwards and Taylor form the pillars of a varied West Indian attack that also includes left-arm spinner Dave Mohammed.

However, the Windies strike bowlers are not an unknown quantity to the Bermudian batsmen who faced Taylor during the inaugural Stanford 20/20 Tournament in Antigua and Edwards when Brian Lara's West Indies side toured the island in 2004.

Romaine, who always seems to step his game up a notch or two on Canadian soil, believes his team will be up for the challenge of taking on Test side Windies.

"We are going to be exposed to a whole new level of pace bowling and it will be a challenge for the guys who are looking forward to it," he said.

"They have already been buying new chest pads and arm guards and really want to challenge themselves against the West Indies."

Bermuda thrived in Toronto last month, defeating hosts Canada in an One Day International (ODI) series as well as the Intercontinental Cup.

And Bailey's Bay stalwart Romaine hopes lightening will strike twice when his team clash with Canada (August 18) and the Windies (August 20) at the Maple Leaf Cricket Club in King City.

"The guys are familiar with Canada and it's now a matter of putting it all together and getting ourselves ready for the next tour," he said.
