With defending champions Canada slumping to a second straight defeat, Bermuda left King City, Toronto late yesterday afternoon fully aware a new country will be crowned champions of the Americas Region at the end of the week.

And with recent back-to-back victories over the Canadians, Bermuda?s chances of claiming the vacated title have only increased.

Yet while Logie is obviously delighted with the results of the past few days, he is also quick to remind his players not to get carried away as they still have a long road to travel.

?We are doing well at this point and are introducing different players for different positions as we go along, but we still have a long road to go,? the former West Indies vice captain said.

?I think the level of confidence is rising and that is what we want. And in spite of what has happened in the past, the players understand the processes, although some of the people around may not.

?I think the players have all along believed that what we are doing is right, and it?s only a matter of time before we start seeing those results. And I think in the last two matches we have seen some very positive results in spite of not having what you may call some of your mainstay players.

?Dean Minors is not here, OJ Pitcher and Delyone Borden are not around and we have had little injuries with individuals. Yet the depth that we seem to have because of giving people opportunities in the past is now beginning to bear some fruit.?

Logie said Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) must be credited at the end of the day for their foresight, and for providing tours for the senior national cricket team.

?Of course we would like to play more games at home so that people in Bermuda would see their own players performing,? Logie added. ?I think then they would not have the amount of doubts the seem to have.

?These players have the ability to step up when ready and truly needed. And the hard work will continue, the processes will continue.?

As for his team?s recent wins, Logie congratulated his players for the manner in which they have rebounded from last week?s nine-wicket Intercontinental Cup loss to Canada.

?Congratulations to the players because they have shown the level of commitment necessary at this stage to move forward,? he said.

Logie also applauded the late heroics of leg spinner Hasan Durham who helped guide Bermuda to a second straight win over Canada at Toronto Cricket Club earlier this week.

?It is incredible whereas you had a guy like Hasan who didn?t bowl in the first game and was then asked to bowl ten overs in the latter stages of a game that was very, very tight and he came up trumps.

?Then we had the mainstay bowlers like George O?Brien and Kevin Hurdle who came on and bowled very well. Hurdle came into his own and also Leverock (Dwayne) and Mukuddem (Saleem) all chipped in. So I think we are developing some sort of competitiveness that augurs well for the future.? Logie also applauded his batsmen, in particular centurions Irving Romaine, Lionel Cann and Kwame Tucker, for their application at the crease.

?It?s incredible and that?s the game of cricket. I think the players are now learning to build and cherish their innings,? Logie said.

?And once we can get more people to score centuries I think they will want more of them.?
