10:20am: At yesterday's press conference Bermuda captain Stephen Outerbridge says the opportunity for qualification to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 puts some pressure on the host team. “In 2007, Bermuda did play in the World Cup in the West Indies, so we do have that pressure coming into this event. But at the end of the day we have to play good cricket no matter what division we are in. So we just look forward to the next few days and hopefully it all comes in our favour.”
Having recently finished second at the ICC Americas Division 1 Championship, the left hander feels his side is well prepared for the event on home soil. “I think the Board has given us ample opportunity to prepare for this tournament. We did also go to Barbados in February and then we did play in the ICC Americas Division 1 Championship and then a few games against the US, so I think we’ve shaped up well for this tournament.”
Uganda captain Davis Arinaitwe, whose side is facing the host in its first match, is strongly motivated to win immediate promotion from Division 3, having been relegated from Division 2 in 2011. “As a team we feel we’re here because of one game we lost in Division 2. As a unit we feel, because we are young and the kind of cricket we play, we’re good enough to go out there and be competitive just like in any other game.”
The 26-year old off-spinner says his side is focusing on playing good cricket rather than the possibility of advancing to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: “The brand of cricket we play is kind of ‘entertainment’ cricket. We want to keep things simple as well, but ideally we want to go out and win every kind of game that we play. We’re not looking to put pressure on ourselves with the fact that it is a qualifying event or that there is relegation at stake. Just to go out there – this is Bermuda, it is a beautiful country – so let’s go out and enjoy it.”
