Corey Hill, the former national team all-rounder, has called for the resignation of national coach Gus Logie.

Logie has come under heavy fire following Bermuda's failed 2011 World Cup qualifying bid in South Africa.

Earlier this week Logie blamed his team's miserable run in the competition on some of his senior players who have not lived up to expectations.

"All before the tournament we talked about how well we were prepared and how individuals players knew what they had to do. But what we have seen is sporadic performances with one or two players doing something consistently," Logie said.

Hill, however, feels that Logie has made bad mistakes assembling his batting order and, as such, should be the one held accountable for Bermuda's demise.

"Logie simply got his batting order wrong in the beginning and he needs to be held accountable for that.

"He made a national blunder which may eventually take our cricket to extinction," he said.

"Logie needs to stop pointing fingers at the senior players and admit that he got it completely wrong from the very first game.

"It's not right for any coach to blame or hide behind players when they are clearly in the wrong. Anyone with half a cricket brain can see Logie started wrong. He just needs to admit it and then pack his bags."

Hill is also critical of Logie's experimentation to elevate middle order bat Lionel Cann to opener – a ploy that has yet to bear fruit and has not gone down well in the local cricket community.

And he is among those who believe the likes of David Hemp, Fiqre Crockwell, Stephen Outerbridge and Glenn Blakeney were always the best men for the job.

Since their union at the top of the order, Hemp and Crockwell have shared in two fruitful opening stands, adding 82 against Denmark and 107 against a varied Kenyan attack.

"How can you enter a tournament of this magnitude with three or four recognised opening batsmen and decide not to use them until you are 0-2.

"That alone deserves a sacking and had we done things right from the beginning then we might still be in the tournament," said Hill

Logie has also come under criticism for hiding the likes of Janeiro Tucker and skipper Irving Romaine down the order.

"I think the country respects what Logie has accomplished in the past, but it is definitely time for him to give it up.

"We need fresh blood and new ideas in-order to move forward from this point," Hill added.
