David Hemp scored a half century and Bermuda's batting finally clicked last night as a frustrating tour ended with a thrilling victory at the National Sports Centre.Needing 13 to win from the –final over, Justin Pitcher and Stefan Kelly could only manage three singles off the first three balls as Michael Baer's accurate spin bowling once again looked like being too good for the home side.Pitcher though had other ideas, hitting two consecutive sixes to win the match with one ball to spare leaving Bermuda's supporters, who had spent most of the evening contemplating –another defeat, speechless.Bermuda rode their luck along the way however, none more so than at the very end when Pitcher's first six went straight into the hands of Andrew Birley at the wide mid-on boundary, but Birley stepped over the rope in the act of making the catch and that was that.The performance of the evening went a long way to overshadowing a poor display in the first game in which Hemp's side got themselves into a position to win, having restricted MCC to 124 for six, but collapsed and eventually slumped to a 23-run defeat.Ultimately the difference between the two matches, and the rest of the tour come to that, was that Bermuda finally managed to put together a batting partnership and the 76-run stand between Hemp and Dean Minors (30) rescued the team from what looked like being a crushing defeat.“It's been frustrating because the side has altered so much due to availability or lack of availability,” said Hemp, “but it's great to finish on a win from a good tight finish which is always good because you learn how to win in tight situations.“It was nice to finish with a win after a disappointing first game this afternoon when we felt we should have chased down, or put ourselves in a better position to chase down a 124.“At one stage it (the evening game) looked like it had got away from us, we had a similar blip to the one we had in the afternoon but it just shows.....what players have to realise is you're only one partnership away from getting back in the game. Obviously in the second game Dean (Minors) came in, we put on a partnership of 30 or 40 and we're back in the game.“Then Justin (Pitcher) came in at the end and struck the ball cleanly and that can make a difference.“What we didn't do this afternoon is once we lost wickets we didn't have that partnership and then the rate goes from seven, eight, nice to 12 or 13 and you're pretty much struggling.”MCC's two innings were built on the back of some fine individual batting by Chris Benham and Will Jones.Benham's unbeaten 47 from 37 balls in the first game saw his side to a reasonable total of 124, and even that seemed out of reach before Dion Stovell's final over.The Bermuda bowlers, led by Rodney Trott who took two for 17, and Stovell, who had two for 14 from his first three overs, had restricted MCC to 107 for five. However, Benham, like Hemp and Pitcher later on, is a powerful hitter of the ball, and he crashed three boundaries off the first three balls, including a reverse sweep for six over square leg.Stovell at least had the small satisfaction of removing Muchall with the final ball of the innings and the 125 runs that Bermuda needed for victory should not have been beyond them.At 54 for one from nine overs the home team seemed ideally placed to win their first game of the tour, but Fiqre Crockwell's (24) departure started a collapse that saw them reduced to 69 for six. Baer and skipper Craig Wright did the damage in that innings, taking five wickets between them and conceding just 31 runs in the process.Justin Pitcher (18 not out) and Tre Manders at least got their side past three figures, but the game was all but over long before Manders was out off the final ball of the innings trying to hit Wright out of the ground.The second game followed a similar pattern. Bermuda bowled well, generally fielded well, apart from dropping Jones (36) twice, and Josh Knappett's unbeaten 17 at the end got MCC to another competitive total.Bermuda's reply got off to the worst possible start when Lionel Cann was caught behind first ball trying to hit Paul Muchall over his own head.Hemp and Stephen Outerbridge rallied briefly, but Outerbridge's dismissal triggered another collapse that saw Hemp's side slump to 6 for five from the first ten overs. Once again poor shot selection haunted the Bermuda team and defeat seemed the only likely outcome with Muchall (three wickets for eight runs) and Wright (three for nine) restricting them to 43 for five in 12 overs.The game started to turn soon after, although it still felt like too little, too late, as Hemp and Minors took 16 from Richard Gilbert's second over. However, the pair continued to plug away and when the 100 came up with four overs remaining Bermuda were right back in the game.Momentum swung MCC's way again as Hemp was finally out, caught at third man by Baer as he swung at a Muchall ball outside his off-stump and a 112 for five became 117 for eight as Minors and Rodney Trott followed their skipper back into the pavilion.Pitcher hasn't played much in this series and his importance to Bermuda cricket had already been well highlighted by his final over in the MCC innings when he conceded just three runs.Hitting the winning runs only added to his impressive performance and if he can be encouraged to commit on a regular basis then the Island's future might not be as bleak as it has seemed at certain points over the past two weeks.
