David Hemp

Innings: 7

Total Runs: 557

Top score: 170 not out v Uganda

Average: 185.67

Verdict: A magnificent effort from Hemp who hauled Bermuda off the canvas, batting like a man possessed after being converted to opener.

He played with supreme focus and determination scoring three unbeaten centuries and carrying his bat through the innings four times.

He grafted his way into form at first with 76 not out against Denmark and a battling hundred against Kenya (the highest by a Bermuda player in an ODI). By the end of the tournament he was playing with real fluency and panache and broke another Bermuda record with his amazing 170 not out, the highest international limited overs score by a Bermuda player ever.

He plans to carry on playing, which is good news for Bermuda.

Stephen Outerbridge

Innings: 7

Total Runs: 365

Top Score: 107 v Uganda

Average: 60.83

Verdict: Stand-out stuff from young Outerbridge who has made huge strides in international cricket over the last few years.

His century against Uganda was richly deserved and he drew plaudits both for his attitude and his shot-making abilities.

He was disappointed that his best performances came with Bermuda already eliminated but even in the early stages he was one of the better performers and looks the man most likely to take on the mantle of senior player after a spate of retirements..

Glenn Blakeney

Innings: 5

Total Runs: 165

Top Score: 68 v Uganda

Average: 41.25

Verdict: Didn't get the big match-winning century he would have liked but made contributions on most of the occasions he came to the crease.

His 68 against Afghanistan almost took Bermuda back into the match and he played a composed and clinical innings at the death to finish the job against Oman on Saturday.

Fiqre Crockwell

Innings: 4

Total Runs: 150

Top Score: 45 v Kenya

Average: 30

Verdict: Came into the side for Jekon Edness and batted with a lot of guts and no shortage of skill.

He formed a solid partnership with David Hemp, compiling some of the best opening stands Bermuda has had in a long time and was unlucky not to get at least one half century.

For a young man on his first competitive tour he did well and showed some promise for the future. His wicket-keeping was fairly tidy too.

Lionel Cann

Innings: 5

Total Runs: 66

Top Score: 32 not out v Uganda

Average: 16.5

Verdict: Came into the tournament as the form player on the back of a brilliant Caribbean tour and topping the averages at the Americas tournament late last year.

But he didn't perform. The big hitting batsman gave a brief glimpse of his destructive capabilities with a quickfire 32 against Uganda but he struggled badly in the rest of the tournament both at opener and down the order.

Bermuda needed centuries from their star batsman if they were going to progress, but it was not Cann's tour this time around.

Irving Romaine

Innings: 4

Total Runs: 61

Top Score: 21 not out v Kenya

Average: 20.33

Verdict: The skipper didn't come through with the big innings' required to take his team through to the Super 8.

He batted at difficult times either with the required run-rate spiraling or with a rebuilding job required after early wickets had fallen. But that is the lot of a late-middle order batsman and he would have hoped for at least one big score in the all-important group stages.

Jekon Edness

Innings: 2

Runs: 18

Top Score: 17 v UAE

Average: 9

Verdict: Was asked to open the innings after Chris Douglas' injury but struggled in the role and was dropped after the first two games.

He's a more natural wicket-keeper than Crockwell and looked comfortable behind the stumps, but Bermuda needed an all-rounder and he had to be sacrificed after two low scores in the opening games.

Janeiro Tucker

Batting Stats

Innings: 4

Total Runs: 72

Top Score: 66 v UAE

Average: 18

Bowling Stats

Overs: 55

Wickets: 8

Best Bowling: 3 for 29 v Denmark

Average: 34.88

Economy Rate: 5.07

Aside from one backs to the wall half century against UAE, Tucker had a disappointing tour with the bat.

He was one of the heavy hitters who Bermuda were relying on to pick up the pace in the mid-late innings. Batsmen are judged on centuries and Cann, Tucker and Romaine - the engine room of Bermuda's line up - didn't provide them this time.

Tucker did much better with the ball. His medium pace swing bowling was a crucial element of Bermuda's attack and as injuries hit they came to rely on him more and more as a frontline bowler.

Rodney Trott

Bowling Stats

Overs: 60

Wickets: 14

Best Bowling: 4 for 30 v Denmark

Average: 17.29

Economy Rate: 4.03

Batting: 32 runs at 16.0 average

Verdict: One of the revelations of the tournament and a sign that there is hope for the future.

His ability to pick up wickets, often extracting turn from seemingly dead pitches, helped swing momentum back towards Bermuda in the middle overs on numerous occasions.

With Leverock's retirement Trott will have to take up the mantle of Bermuda's senior spinner and he showed all the signs here that he can go on to fill the big man's shoes and help lead the next generation of Bermudian cricketers.

Dwayne Leverock

Overs: 69

Wickets: 5

Best Bowling: 1 for 13 v UAE

Average: 47

Economy Rate: 3.41

In his final tournament for Bermuda, Sluggo had a respectable tour.

His excellent spell against UAE, conceding just 13 runs from ten overs, was the highlight.

He would have liked more wickets but the opposition teams picked him out as the danger man and often tried to block him out. Even when deployed as an opening bowler he kept things tight and along with Janeiro Tucker and Trott he was able to stem the flow of runs when teams had threatened to run away with it.

Stefan Kelly

Overs: 37.1

Wickets: 5

Best Bowling: 2 for 49 v Oman

Average: 53.4

Economy Rate: 7.18

Fast bowler Kelly was not his usual self on this tour. He came into the tournament with very little cricket behind him after exams kept him out of the Caribbean warm up tour and it showed.

He was uncharacteristically wayward, getting hit for more than seven an over. He was dropped after the first two games but came back into the side following O'Brien's injury.

George O'Brien

Overs: 26

Wickets: 4

Best Bowling: 2 for 47 v UAE

Average: 30.75

Ecomomy rate: 4.73

O'Brien was a vital cog in Bermuda's bowling attack and when he broke down injured against Denmark it was a major blow to the team's dwindling chances of qualifying.

He bowled with pace in the opening games, if not quite at his aggressive, threatening best. His persistent injury problems are a major worry for Bermuda, but with pace men in short supply it 's important that he gets back to full fitness.

Tamauri Tucker

Overs: 25

Wickets: 2

Best Bowling: 1 for 43 v Kenya

Average: 73.5

Economy Rate: 5.88

Bowled pretty well in his limited opportunities - particularly on his tournament debut in a high pressure situation against Kenya.

His stats took a pounding in the run feast against Uganda but he showed plenty of promise and will undoubtedly get more opportunities now that Sluggo has retired.

Jacobi Robinson

Overs: 21

Wickets: 2

Best Bowling: 2 for 24 v Denmark

Average: 68.5

Economy rate: 6.52

Came into the tour to replace the injured Chris Douglas and ended up injured himself.

Robinson performed well in his opening game with an excellent spell of swing bowling to take two wickets against Denmark but suffered against Kenya and Holland as their opening bats went on the attack.

Fitness was one of the reasons he was not selected to the initial 15 and it proved to be an issue on tour as he picked up another injury.

Kyle Hodsoll

Overs: 10

Wickets: 2

Best Bowling: 2 for 71 v Uganda

Average: 35.5

Economy Rate: 7.1

Served as a sub fielder for most of the tour but got his chance to impress in the final game against Uganda.

He suffered as much as anyone as the African big hitters went on the rampage but he kept at it and picked up two vital

wickets.
