Wright's team concluded an exacting experience in the Caribbean by producing perhaps their worst performance on Thursday, when they had by far their best chance of chalking up a first Cup win in their history.

Instead, they were bowled out for 136 by Holland on their way to an eight-wicket defeat at Warner Park against opponents they had beaten in their last three meetings.

Wright did not dodge the issues surrounding the poor showing, which followed predictably wide-margin humblings against the might of Australia and South Africa in Scotland's other two Group A matches.

But Wright - who has since vacated the role of captain - did report that a line-up containing several thirtysomethings, as well as a group of promising youngsters, intends to stick together for the time being.

"Everyone will be looking at themselves after the way we've played in the course of this tournament, and asking some questions," he reported.

"Ultimately, the players have to take responsibility. We've shown we're a far better team than that in the past.

"Guys have to individually look at themselves and ask why we haven't shown those skills and abilities over these three games."

Wright is confident Scottish cricket will not begin to founder on one run of bad results - after a sustained advancement which culminated in an appearance in the World Cricket League final in Kenya, and qualification for this year's inaugural international Twenty20 tournament in South Africa.

"We pride ourselves on the progress we have made over the last three or four years," he said.

"One bad, or even one horrendous game doesn't make you a bad team.

"I'm sure we'll regroup. We've had disappointments before.

"We lost our very first game in Kenya in January - by a lot - and then came back and won seven of our next eight games, playing some really good cricket."

Wright - likely to be replaced by Ryan Watson - acknowledges that the selectors will inevitably have their say but he nonetheless expects the squad to remain largely intact for the medium-term challenges ahead.

"We've qualified for the Twenty20 World Cup in September, and the vibes I'm getting are that there are not too many guys who want to step down before that," he said.

"Whether they are stood down by selectors or not, I don't know.

"But I imagine the majority of this team will be around for this summer at least."
