If there's one thing Irving Romaine and David Hemp share in common, then it would have to be their confidence that Bermuda can still progress to the Super Eight stage of 2011 World Cup qualifiers.

The Islanders currently lie fifth in the six-team Group B standings with one win from three matches.

Bermuda face Associate powerhouse Kenya today and the Netherlands on Wednesday in their final group matches and will need to win at least one of them and hope any of the four teams above them lose ground if they are to stand any chance of progressing in the tournament.

Kenya have had the better of Bermuda in recent years. But having come close to beating their opponents in the past, Romaine believes the law of averages could favour his side this time around.

"A couple of times we have played them we have come so close and now I think it's time to go over the hurdle," he said. "We know what Kenya have as we have played them so much.

"Nothing they bring will surprise us. We have put it all out against Kenya and just do what we have to do."

Romaine's deputy, Hemp, also believes his team stand a fighting chance of beating the 2003 World Cup semi-finalists but admits the task is a daunting one.

"It's not going to be an easy game because obviously they are a good side. We all know about Kenya and how good they are on the field," he said.

"But it's a one-off game and anything can happen. We just have to go out and back ourselves and do the basics well."

Meanwhile Rodney Trott continued his meteoric ascent over the weekend.

Trott took four for 30 off ten overs in the win over Denmark and has take seven wickets at an average of 15.28 so far.

Trott carried Bermuda's attack during World Cup qualifying preparations in the Caribbean earlier this year by bagging 19 wickets and seems to have picked up where he left off here in South Africa.

"The last couple of games I have been bowling pretty good although I haven't been picking up the amount of wickets I would like to," he said. "But I said to myself once I become consistent with my line and length the wickets would come, and that's basically what happened today."

The timing of Trott's remarkable spell could not have come at a better time with his team fighting off the ropes against Denmark to stave off elimination from the tournament.

"The conditions suited my bowling, the wicket turned and I got more drift with the wind with my arm ball. I just took the challenge on today and felt pretty good," he added.
