Lots of positives for cricket team
Lots of positives for cricket team
Chris Douglas
Batting Stats
Innings: 5
Total runs: 116
Top score: 42 v Suriname
Average: 23.2
Strike rate: 56.3
Bowling Stats
Overs: 15
Wickets: 5
Best bowling: Four for 18 v Cayman Islands
Runs conceded: 59
Average: 11.8
Economy rate: 3.9
Verdict: A steady, if unspectacular, tour for Douglas with the bat. He's already done enough to prove that he is the man to lead Bermuda at the top of the order but will have been disappointed not to cash in on some great starts with a big score - particularly when there were runs on offer against the minnows.
Still, he is shaping into one of Bermuda's most accomplished batsmen and proved he can be a genuine option with the ball.
Lionel Cann
Batting Stats
Innings: 5
Total runs: 306
Top score: 101 not out against Suriname
Average: 102
Strike rate: 110.8
Verdict: The stats speak for themselves - Cann was the player of the series for Bermuda without a doubt. Elevated to opening bat he mixed his usual swashbuckling style with controlled, responsible aggression to top score.
Though he scored his century against hapless Suriname, he didn't just cash in against the minnows - scoring 78 against champions the U.S and belting an unbeaten 40 against Canada.
Oronde Bascome
Batting Stats
Innings: 2
Total runs: 19
Top score: 19 v Cayman
Average: 9.5
Strike rate: 19 from 33 balls
Verdict: Played only a bit-part role on this tour and with Glenn Blakeney returning to the side in such style he has a lot to do to prove he can be a match winner in the top six.
At the moment Bascome is probably considered more of a squad player and a long term option for Bermuda.
Stephen Outerbridge
Batting Stats
Innings: 4
Total runs: 157
Top score: 62 v Suriname
Average: 39.25
Strike rate: 64.6
Bowling Stats
Overs: 24
Wickets: 4
Best Bowling: Three for 15 v Suriname
Runs conceded: 85
Average: 21.25
Economy rate: 3.54
Verdict: Another good performance from Stephen Outerbridge who enhanced his reputation as Bermuda's best young batsman with some solid knocks.
Still, he'll be disappointed not to have made a century on this tour and with the leading lights of Bermuda's batting order all in the latter stages of their career he will need to shoulder more responsibility on future tours.
He has the class and the experience to be the most important player for Bermuda in the years to come.
Irving Romaine
Batting Stats
Innings: 4
Total runs: 93
Top score: 50* v Suriname
Average: 31
Strike rate: 93.00
Bowling Stats
Overs: 22
Wickets: 1
Run conceded: 88
Average: 88
Economy rate: 4
Verdict: Aside from a cameo in the Suriname run fest this was a disappointing tour for Romaine.
He didn't have as many opportunities as some of the top order bats but would have wanted at least one big score - particularly in the big game against the U.S.
David Hemp
Batting Stats
Innings: 4
Total runs: 140
Top score: 58* v Argentina
Average: 140
Strike rate: 81.4
Verdict: Comfortably topped the averages without really breaking sweat. Hemp was only out once in this tournament and his solid contributions added a surety to the middle order that has been lacking in the past.
His unbeaten half century put Bermuda in a winning position against Cayman and he joined in the fun against Suriname and Argentina too.
Despite the disappointing result against the U.S. in this tournament there is a real sense that Bermuda's batting order with Cann and Douglas at the top and Blakeney, Outerbridge and Hemp in the middle is starting to take shape.
Glenn Blakeney
Batting Stats
Innings: 2
Runs: 122
Strike rate: 101.7
Best performance: 118 not out against Argentina
Verdict: Announced his return to the international scene with a bang, sticking the proverbial two fingers up to his critics with an unbeaten century against Argentina.
There will be tougher times and tougher opponents ahead for the popular Bailey's Bay batsman, but if he can stay in this kind of form he can make the number three spot his own.
Jekon Edness
Batting Stats
Innings: 2
Total runs: 11
Top score: 11 v Cayman
Average: 5.5
Strike rate: 73.3
Verdict: Solid behind the stumps but played only a small role with the bat.
While the U.S. showed the value of a tail-end who could score quick runs in the final stages, Bermuda's lower order failed to make a telling contribution. They scored too slowly or in some cases not at all. A powerful lower order can be crucial in the one-day game and Edness has the potential to be a pivotal figure at number seven.
Rodney Trott
Bowling Stats
Overs: 30
Wickets: 5
Run conceded: 143
Average: 28.6
Economy rate: 4.76
Best bowling: 2 for 23 v Canada
Batting Stats
Innings: 2
Runs: 2
Average: 1
Verdict: It's a sign of how much is expected of the young vice-captain that this tour would have been a bit of a disappointment for him.
Five wickets at 28.6 is by no means a bad return, but conceding almost five an over is more than he would have wanted and he didn't produce the match winning performance he is capable of.
Like many of Bermuda's 'all-rounders' he didn't do the business with the bat on the couple of occasions he was called on.
Delyone Borden
Bowling Stats
Overs: 37
Wickets: 8
Run conceded: 93
Average: 11.625
Economy rate: 2.51
Best bowling: 6 for 17 v Suriname
Batting Stats
Innings: 2
Runs: 19
Average: N/A
Verdict: The player of the tournament with the ball for Bermuda, Borden showed he can be both a match winner and a containment bowler.
Even against the swinging bats of the U.S. he kept it down to three an over. He turned the screw against struggling Suriname with a superb 6 for 17 and put up good stats in every game.
Didn't score quickly enough with the bat, though he was not out through the whole tournament.
His best knock of 17 from 50 balls against the U.S. in tough circumstances was stoic but too slow in a run chase.
Stefan Kelly
Bowling Stats
Overs: 33
Wickets: 2
Runs conceded: 158
Average: 79
Economy rate: 4.79
Best Bowling: 2 for 27 v Argentina
Batting Stats
Innings: 1
Runs: 0
Average: 0
Verdict: Asked to carry the seam bowling responsibilities single handedly this was always going to be a tough tour for Kelly. He had one really good game, taking 2 for 27 against Argentina, but took the brunt of the onslaught as Rashad Marshall went on the offensive for the U.S.
Kelly is undoubtedly one of Bermuda's most talented bowlers but he is still young and needs more support in the pace bowling department.
Dwayne Leverock
Bowling Stats
Overs: 39
Wickets: 2
Run conceded: 124
Average: 62
Economy rate: 3.18
Best bowling: 1 for 31 v Suriname
Batting Stats
Innings: 1
Runs: 4
Average: n/a
Verdict: Bermuda's Mr. Reliable continued to do everything that was asked of him in an unfussy manner. Steady and economical with the ball the big man may not have taken many wickets but no matter who the opponent, they struggle to get him off the square.
Every one-day side needs a steady one for 30 man to bowl through the middle overs and Leverock makes it look like the easiest job in the world.
Justin Pitcher
Bowling Stats
Overs: 19
Wickets: 3
Runs conceded: 55
Average: 18.33
Economy rate: 2.89
Best bowling: 3 for 45 v U.S.
Batting Stats
Innings: 1
Runs: 4
Average: 4
Verdict: Was used sparingly on his international debut tour but did well when called upon, particularly with his 3 for 45 against the top team in the competition.
Tamauri Tucker
Bowling Stats
Overs: 7.1
Wickets: 1
Runs conceded: 22
Average: 22
Economy rate: 3.09
Verdict: Didn't play enough to make a real assessment of his progress but did pretty well when he got the chance.
Will, no doubt, get more chance to impress on the Development Squad's tour of Argentina.
