Bermuda's cricketers are their worst enemies and unless their overall approach towards the game changes dramatically they will continue to struggle at the international level.

That was the honest assessment of a disappointed national coach Gus Logie whose patience appears to be running thin working with a core of players who continue to "make the same mistakes over and over".

"At the end of the day if we don't learn from our mistakes we are not going to grow and whatever growth we do have will always come to nothing if we continue to make the same mistakes over and over," the ex-West Indies Test player vented.

"If we want to compete and win at this level we can't afford to make the same mistakes such as getting out the same way over and over, which tells me that we are not assessing situations as well as we could.

"There are areas where we feel players still need to put in more effort into their own game and understand it is a team game and not an individual game.

"Whatever the team requires they must be prepared to do that, that's what being a mature individual is all about.

"I think we are maturing, but doing so very slowly. I believe if our guys put a bit more planning and commitment into their cricket they will succeed. But at the end of the day we still have certain things to work on and players must be willing to work because it's not just going to happen by saying it - you have to put in the work."

Bermuda arrived in Toronto earlier this week with high expectations of qualifying for tomorrow's Scotiabank Series Cup final at the Maple Leaf Cricket Club. But a 25-run loss against Canada and then a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Test side West Indies put paid to those hopes.

"Before coming here we always thought we were pretty much on par with Canada.

"We introduced new players into the team that we felt would bolster the squad in every department and came here very optimistic of qualifying for the finals which was certainly within our reach. But obviously we didn't accomplish that," Logie added.

Yet despite falling short of their objectives Logie feels there are some positives to take from the tour such as the courageous batting of ODI debutant Chris Douglas who stroked back-to-back half-centuries against the Canadians and Windies under trying circumstances.

"Chris showed the amount of talent, courage and will to succeed at this level while in the bowling department young Kelly (Stefan) held his own and continues to be a force to be reckoned with at this level," Logie said. "Delyone (Borden) also showed what he's made of, spinning the ball a long way with variation."

Logie, however, admitted he was disappointed with the low productivity from some of his team's senior members during the tour.

"The experienced players didn't put their hands up and perform as they could ¿ and they knew who they are," he said. "We had young and inexperienced players performing at a level beyond their maturity and then players that have been involved at this level for a number of years who didn't produce when it really mattered."
