David Moore’s biggest challenge in selecting a team for the ICC Americas tournament next month would appear to be in finding a group of batsmen that can score runs fast enough.The Bermuda head coach must submit his team for the Twenty20 competition by the end of this week, and that, more than anything, is likely to affect the make-up of his 14-man squad.In the four national trial series matches that have been played over the past seven days, Bermuda Red’s total of 138 in the third game was the highest in eight innings.The average score for 20 overs was 127.75 runs per innings, which is little more than a run a ball, well short of the 160-plus scores needed to be competitive in this version of the game.Of equal concern is the number of dot balls that were bowled, and even those batsmen who scored relatively large –totals allowed too many scoring opportunities to pass them by.While impressing in his unbeaten 71 in the final trial match, Fiqre Crockwell failed to score from 40 percent of the balls he faced. In his 62-ball innings that meant that 25 passed him by. Oronde Bascome had a similar statistic in making his half century, failing to score from 18 of his 48-ball stay at the crease.Those figures are by no means high in comparison to other players, several of whom were around the 50 percent mark on more than one occasion.Tellingly, even the likes of Dion Stovell and Lionel Cann, whose final strike rates are often upwards of 100 percent have a high percentage of dot balls in their innings.Stovell and Cann though are the types of explosive batsmen who can turn a game, and can be allowed slightly more leeway than others.If disciplinary and personal issues –allow then Stovell is expected to make the squad, where he could form an opening partnership with Chris Douglas.Despite the fact that he didn’t score very many runs during the trial –matches, Douglas’ ability as a batsmen is undeniable, and he also has the added bonus of being able to bowl spin.On a Fort Lauderdale wicket that is expected to turn from the outset, Moore has already expressed his desire to pack the side with slow bowlers, which could also point to the inclusion of Irving –Romaine in the squad.While Romaine is still recovering from a dislocated finger, his experience and bowling gives him the edge on several others, especially as Kevon Fubler’s future is now far from certain.After emerging as a possible third spinner alongside Rodney Trott and Joshua Gilbert, Fubler failed to show for the final two matches and has slipped back down the pecking order.Whether Moore will want to take the risk of naming Romaine, who has yet to play a full game this season is another matter, but if he does that would seem to suggest that Crockwell, Bascome or Dennico Hollis could be left disappointed as all three have made strong cases for inclusion in the final 14.Crockwell though, who has kept wicket before, might benefit from a wicketkeeping situation that is far from clear, with doubts hanging over the inclusion of Jason Anderson and Chris Foggo.Dean Minors was drafted in for the final trial match and could also feature, while Regino Smith and Christian Burgess are outside bets.In the bowling department the reliance on spin would make it unlikely that more than three seam bowlers would make the trip, especially as –Kamau Leverock seems certain to go.While Jordan Desilva and George O’Brien have both bowled well in the trials, Malachi Jones, Justin Pitcher and Kyle Hodsoll would appear to have the edge, although there is also Stefan Kelly to consider.Possible Bermuda squad: D Hemp, C Douglas, F Crockwell, L Cann, S Outerbridge, D Stovell, K Leverock, R Trott, J Gilbert, M Jones, J Pitcher, K Hodsoll, I Romaine, D Minors.
