DUBAI (Bermuda won the toss) Namibia 208-5, beat Bermuda, 108 all out, by 100 runs.Albert Einstein’s famous definition of insanity was ‘doing something over and over again and expecting different results’.Following that logic then the Bermuda cricket team must be insane, and if they aren’t then David Moore, the head coach, is surely heading in that direction, out of frustration if nothing else.Not for the first time the batting collapsed on the back of some poor shots yesterday, and in their final warm-up match before the World Cricket League Division Two qualifiers, they succumbed to 108 all out from 35.1 overs, losing their last six wickets for just 46 runs in the process.Namibia in contrast batted their full complement of overs and lost just five wickets, although they only managed to eke out 208 against Bermuda’s miserly bowlers.Unfortunately the Island’s batsmen couldn’t produce the kind of sensible cricket, chasing little more than four an over, that should have seen them comfortably over the line, and they conspired to lose a game it seemed far easier to win.Once again good decision making, or rather a distinct lack of it, was their downfall and the myriad of ways in which they found to get themselves out rather overshadowed an impressive bowling performance.Of the 10 Bermuda batsmen who lost their wickets against Namibia, two ran themselves out, several got out caught to silly shots and towards the end one just looked generally uninterested in proceedings and was bowled.Only Irving Romaine (18 not out) remained unbeaten, and having taken two wickets as well, was probably his side’s best player. The truly puzzling thing about the whole affair is that Bermuda appear no less talented than Namibia in terms of skill, they just have a short-circuit when it comes to shot selection, and that is something they will live, or die by, in the tournament which begins on Friday.“It’s all about decision making and that’s all it was,” said Moore. “It was nothing to do with our skill level, their bowling didn’t….we just got out to poor decisions and bad shots.“Hemp got a good one (delivery), we had two bad run outs, and then the rest effectively were poor shots. The skills are there, it’s all about decision making, which we highlighted at the beginning of the tour as the one thing that could hurt us. We’ve been working hard to deal with that and today, unfortunately, we didn’t make the right decisions.”Bermuda could point to the several players, Damali Bell (ankle), Delyone Borden (flu), Dion Stovell (foot) and Stefan Kelly (in transit), that were out injured or missing in mitigation for the defeat.They may have a case but all the players in the squad are there on merit and no-one would have mentioned those absences if the team had backed up a good day in the field . . . especially if it had been done with assistant coach Clevie Wade making his first appearance in a Bermuda shirt since 1995.Having won the toss and put Namibia in to bat, Bermuda, specifically Malachi Jones and Kyle Hodsoll, didn’t concede a run until the fourth over.The pair bowled well on a low and slow wicket, and Hodsoll made the initial breakthrough soon after when he bowled Jan-Berrie Burger for seven.With Jones and Hodsoll staying disciplined, it then took Ewald Steenkamp (38) and Saurel Burger (50) until the 18th over to bring up the half century.Saurel Burger’s 50 was the mainstay of the Namibia innings, which included three half-century partnerships, and Craig Williams (39), Gerry Snyman (36 not out), and Raymond van Schoor were also among the runs.For Bermuda, Romaine picked up two wickets while the others fell to Hodsoll, Rodney Trott, and David Hemp, who enjoyed a rare foray with the ball and took the wicket of opposite number Williams in his four-over spell.On the back of a narrow defeat to UAE and a win over Hong Kong, chasing 208 should have been well within Bermuda’s abilities. However, things went downhill from the first over and never really recovered.Hemp (four) got a ball that lifted and left him late from Louis Klazinga and was back in the pavilion before six balls had been bowled.Fellow opener Chris Foggo didn’t last much longer, he cut a ball from Kola Burger over gully, ran the first hard, then got caught on his heels coming back for the second and was run out.Fiqre Crockwell’s stay at the crease was no less eventful. He was dropped first ball by wicketkeeper Steenkamp behind the stumps, dropped again by Klazinga at gully, and was eventually the fourth man out when he left his bat hanging outside off-stump, got an edge, and was caught behind.Bermuda were 62 for four at that stage, having also lost Anderson (six) in similar fashion when he tried to cut a ball far too close to his body and gloved the ball to Steenkamp.Cann’s (27) careless flick down the leg side, which was caught by Kola Burger at short third man, ended any realistic chances Bermuda had of fighting back, and he’d already been dropped once at that stage as well. The rest, Romaine aside, came and went at regular intervals, and Jones, batting at 11, was the last man out with 14.5 overs remaining.“You can’t project any results from the way warm-up matches go because everyone’s got different agendas,” said Moore.“It was disappointing today, we didn’t achieve the goals we wanted to achieve out of the practice match, and that was that.”n For match scorecard, see Page 30
