Canada, 40 for one, beat Bermuda 79 for nine, by 15 runs D/L methodA day after scoring 160 against Suriname, Bermuda produced one of their worst batting performances in recent memory, and only a wagging tail and a lightning storm saved them from utter humilitation against Canada in the ICC Americas Division One tournament in Florida last night.Bowlers Malachi Jones (29*) and Joshua Gilbert (13) put on 43 for the ninth wicket, rescuing their side from a pitiful 36 for eight, and while Bermuda still lost, the margin and manner of their defeat could have been so much worse.In the final reckoning, a 15 run loss does not seem that bad, but in truth Bermuda were outplayed from start to finish and could have had few –complaints if they had received the nine-wicket thumping Canada seemed likely to inflict on them before the rain came with more than 12 overs of the Canada innings still to bowl.Things started badly for Bermuda yesterday and got progressively worse as the game wore on.Lionel Cann was the first man out, bowled by Junaid Siddiqui with just three runs on the board, and Fiqre Crockwell followed three balls later leaving Bermuda five for two off two overs.Wickets fell regularly from then on, and despite Kamau Leverock's (12) brief resistance, his departure in the 11th over saw Bermuda collapse to 36 for eight.Siddiqui and Grant Broadhurst did most of the damage, taking three –wickets each, and at that stage it looked like Bermuda might all be out for less than 50.Jones and Gilbert, however, had other ideas, and the pair batted for little more than nine overs, scoring more than the top eight combined and restoring a little bit of pride in the process."We clearly were just in the wrong mindset for the day, it was very disappointing," said head coach David Moore."We played so well, and batted so well against Suriname. Obviously the Canadians are another step up with the skill level, but we just didn't respond to that and from ball one we just weren't playing the game in the correct fashion."To be in the position that we were in after six overs, and then have numbers nine and ten effectively bat for the same number of overs that one through eight did, is pretty disappointing."Malachi (Jones) and Gilly (Joshua Gilbert) were outstanding. They actually had a plan, and stuck to a plan, and that was that. Jones is a very smart cricketer, and it just shows how much ability he's got."The wicket was a little bit up and down, but that's what happens in these tournaments as the week goes on."We're good enough, we're far and away good enough to deal with those situations, far and away good enough. We've just got to start doing it against those better teams."Even with storms in the area defending 79 was never likely to be a realistic proposition, although they didn"t make it easy for Canada.Jones and Damali Bell put the squeeze on early, and the pressure they created eventually led to opener Khushroo Wadia being run out.Canada though had 21 runs on the board by that stage, and Jason Sander (17*) and Trevin Bastiampillai got them far enough ahead of the run rate that 40 for one from 7.3 overs was enough to see them home."Just allround disappointing," said Moore. ?We get another 20 or 30 runs and we're into the game. But we just didn't have enough runs to play with."We got a wicket through pressure with the run out. I thought the bowlers tried their hearts out."Bermuda have a rest day today, before they face Cayman tomorrow and end their tournament against USA on Saturday.
