National cricket coach Gus Logie summed up Bermuda's ten-day training exercise in his native Trinidad using only one word ? "successful".

While the primary objective all along was to acclimatise the players to local playing conditions playing against quality opposition, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches only served as a bonus for a second-string national cricket squad many had predicted would take a severe beating on tour.

With the exception of a crushing nine-wicket defeat in their tour opener against Clark Road United, Bermuda, led by Irving Romaine, won their next three matches before tying their final against Wanderers Cricket Club.

Prior to arriving in the Caribbean, Bermuda had not savoured a win in all forms of the game since last August in Toronto.

Yet, while coach Logie is delighted with the favourable results, winning, he insisted, was always the "least" of his worries.

"This is a process and once you trust and believe in the process I have no doubt we will get results. It may not be now or next week but chances are that we will get the results and I think in general the tour has been quite successful from many points of view," the former West Indies vice captain and coach told .

"This tour has been very encouraging; not only from the senior players' point of view but certainly from younger players' point of view as well,"

In 2004 Logie coached the West Indies, captained by fellow Trinidadian Brian Lara, to the ICC Champions Trophy in England.

Now it is beginning to appear as though some of that winning chemistry is rubbing off on Bermuda's national cricket team, particularly on the younger members.

Three players who caught Logie's eye on tour were youngsters Treadwell Gibbons Jr, Stephen Bremar Jr and Azeem Pitcher.

Gibbons proved to be consistent at the top of the order, Pitcher recorded the highest individual score on tour (65) while young Bremar demonstrated enormous potential and guts facing the new ball.

"It was very encouraging to see the way young Treadwell Gibbons and Stephen Bremar Jr handled themselves, especially during the opening match in which they had a partnership of 68 runs ? the highest opening partnership we've had for some time," Logie added.

"Azeem also came on in leaps and bounds and it certainly rubbed off on some of the senior players who realised they had to step up their game, and they did."

One senior player who went beyond the call of duty was wicketkeeper Dean Minors, who topped the batting on tour with 164 runs from five turns at bat at an average of 32 runs per innings.

Minors recorded a sole half century (64) and twice came to within single digits of reaching the milestone.

Opener Gibbons was next high man with 123 runs from four innings, with a tour best 51 against Wanderers in the first 50 overs contest between the two sides.

Number three bat Daniel Morgan also impressed on tour, scoring 105 runs from five innings, including a match winning 58 not out against Clico Preysal Sports Club.

"Daniel (Morgan) is a player who just a few months ago was the team's physio but has now certainly staked his claim for a spot on the team," Logie said.

"I think the way Minors (Dean) batted in the last two games was exceptional while Lionel (Cann) proved to be model of consistency throughout this tour. His whole attitude and approach to the game has taken a turn for the better."

Cann blasted 83 runs in only three turns at bat, seized five wickets and also landed himself a sponsorship deal with a local sports merchant in Trinidad.

Coach Logie also praised deputising skipper Romaine, who scored a combined 68 runs and took seven crucial wickets.

"Romaine (Irving) handled the team very well and I am very impressed by that," he said.

Left arm leg spinner Dwayne (Sluggo) Leverock led the team's bowling with nine wickets, including two three wicket hauls against Clico Sports Club and Wanderers CC.

Logie also took satisfaction from the fact Bermuda were never dismissed on the entire tour and was delighted to see players receive reward for their commitment to improving themselves in all facets of the game.

"I see partnerships being built and people batting longer," he added. "We had a physio (Clinton Jeremiah) here who put the guys through their paces and the general conditioning that we had at the centre provided us with the opportunity to practise (batting/bowling) day and night. And the players used the opportunity to go in the nets sometimes after 10 p.m. and the manager would have to tell them 'enough guys, we want to sleep'.

"So that showed the kind of commitment that players want to improve and be a part of the set up and I think in the end the trip was definitely worth it and the guys can go back home knowing they have improved in many areas."

Coach Logie was also pleased to see the players bond as a unit, something team manager El James predicted would happen all along given the team's desolate accommodation in Couva, Trinidad.

"I think the guys have taken onboard the information that has been given and supporting each other which is good," Logie said.

"They understand what is necessary at this level and applied themselves in very hot conditions. And we have players who can now push the established players to the limit which augurs well for the team.

"So at the moment there is much to be proud of and also much we can still build on."

But if there was any downside to the tour, then having pacers Stefan Kelly and Mackie Crane injured in the opening match and arriving in Trinidad without several top players proved to be a bitter pill for Logie to swallow.

"My only disappointments were that we didn't have more of our established players coming here and getting a feel of these conditions which I believe would have done them a world of good," he said.

"And unfortunately young Stefan (Kelly) and Crane (Mackie) injured themselves early on the tour and I wasn't able to see the best of them. But hopefully they will come back and prove that they belong in this team."

And if there is anything Logie would love to have most in the very near future, then it would certainly have to be the services of his best XI players at his disposal.

"It would be nice to have the first squad playing together as regularly as possible so that we can learn each other's strength's and help each other where we are weak," he said.

"I think the more we can play together as a team and understand each other will be very important for us later down the road.

"And from this point on we will be looking for the players to continue following the formula that we have set and hope the other players will gel with what has happened here on this tour."

Bermuda's national cricket team will next participate in the 20/20 World Classic that starts this weekend at the National Sports Centre before returning to Trinidad next month to play Zimbabwe and Canada in their first two official One Day Internationals (ODI) at Queen's Park Oval.
