Stephen Outerbridge's position as captain of Bailey's Bay Cricket Club has been left in serious doubt after he received a very public dressing down from its executive.

Responding to Outerbridge's comments on the Eastern Counties controversy, in which the Bermuda vice-captain said he would not play in today's Twenty20 exhibition, the club said that their captain did not speak for them.

The club insisted a team would represent them at today's three-way series between Bay, Cleveland and Flatts, and would also play in their scheduled Eastern Counties tie on August 28.

And when approached about whether the executive would be asking their captain to resign given the obvious division between the two, the reply was equally brief saying their would be 'no further comment'.

"Please be advised that Steven Outerbridge does not speak on behalf of Bailey's Bay Cricket Club and its executives concerning the issues at hand of the Eastern Counties Cricket Association and Series 2010," said a Bay statement.

"Bailey's Bay Cricket Club wishes to advise the public that our team will be playing in the 20/20 tournament tomorrow and will also be participating in the Eastern County Match on Saturday August 28. (There will be) no further comments at this time."

Bay also refused to say if they would punish any players who also decided not to play, and remained tight-lipped on their stance regarding the whole St David's affair, pointedly avoiding a question asking them if they backed the Eastern Counties board on the way they were running the competition.

The split between Outerbridge and the older members of the club, echoes the issues that St David's have with Eastern Counties.

Earlier this week St David's stalwart Lionel Cann insisted it was time for the current members to step aside and let the younger generation take over.

There is discontent among St David's members, plus players from other clubs about the way the competition has been run, and there is particular concern over the continued lack of an AGM, and the apparent lack of any audit for a number of years.
