Stephen Outerbridge believes that the new-look Bermuda team are on the verge of something special.

Outerbridge scored his maiden international hundred yesterday, and although the day ended in defeat, he insisted that it didn't feel that way.

"I've come close a couple of times (to scoring a hundred), but have always fallen slightly short," he said. "That was my first hundred, and for it to come at home and in a four-day game was something special.

"I did quite well today, I've been working on my batting, and hopefully I'm getting better.

"But I think this team is one that can certainly put up a strong fight for qualifying for the World Cup.

"We have the likes of Chris Foggo, and OJ Pitcher and we're looking good at the moment.

"It's all about momentum, and you get that from winning matches. We had it when we came back from Canada, and if we keep building on it then we will only get better as a team.

"Today we lost, but at the end of the day you can take more positives than negatives out of the game. It was just one bad session that put us behind the eight-ball for the rest of the game.

"It's a never say die attitude that we have, and you saw it from George and Sluggo at the end, even though we still had a hundred to get and were down to the last wicket."

Meanwhile, skipper Irving Romaine had nothing but praise for his side and the way they had battled back from being so far behind.

"We finished really well, we never lay down," he said.

"All the way down the confidence is there, we played the spin well the second time around and it was a good finish for the guys, especially on the part of Stephen (Outerbridge).

"It was a good hundred on that wicket, especially on the fourth day, that's good batting."

Romaine had to play through the pain for the second part of the match after damaging his hip taking a stunning catch in Scotland's second innings.

"According to the physio I've torn my hip flexor," he said.

"I'm just a little hurting, but I don't think it's torn. It was definitely painful going forward when I was batting, so I decided to go the other way and just hit out.

"My defence was my offence, but it was a pleasure being out there and seeing Stephen get his hundred.

"I'm really proud of the guys, and it was just one lapse in the first innings that really hurt us. But we came back and put on 265 in the second innings and if we had done that the first time around the game would have been totally different.

"They have done well and I'm very proud of them."
