Bermuda head coach David Moore said the batting collapse that ultimately cost his side a chance at victory yesterday was 'unforgivable'.

Eight wickets went down for just 66 runs, as Bermuda collapsed from 115-2 to 181 all out.

And Moore said the batting, as well as his team's fitness were the two key areas the side needed to work on.

"It's disappointing, but once again we left ourselves 50-60 runs short," said Moore. "I really thought that we dominated the batting for 25-30 overs, as we did against the USA, but then we just go bang, bang, bang and we have a lapse in concentration, and they're driving the car.

"We just give teams too much of a sniff. We were so far in that game, and to lose eight wickets for 66 runs is just unforgivable in international cricket."

The Australian though took a great deal of heart from the fight his side showed in the field.

"The bottom line is, that although I'm disappointed we got so close, we've just got to control our effort, much better," he said. "But, the reason we got so close is because of the outstanding effort, the massive heart, the commitment and dedication that these guys showed in the field.

"Everyone expects Bermuda to roll over and lay down, and be pally, pally, but that's not going to happen any more. I'm sure that it will get around quite quickly..."

Moore's team finished third in the tournament, after USA hammered Cayman Islands yesterday. Batting first, Cayman were 129 all out, and USA got the runs without losing a wicket.

Elsewhere, Argentina and Bahamas battled their way to a remarkable tie, each side all out for 333 runs. Argentina batted first, making the highest score of the tournament so far.

Bahamas were 330 for seven, and on the brink of victory, before they managed to lose their last three wickets for three runs.
