“We have got to be consistently good in all three departments: batting, bowling and fielding…We are doing some good stuff, but we are not doing it consistently for long enough,” he said.

After having defeated the Proteas in the 3rd match of the tournament by 29 runs, the Rhodesians went on to secure a 9-wicket victory in the series final, claiming the tournament title. They owed their victory largely to the unbeaten 118-run partnership
between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 (59), who propelled them easily through a 147-run chase, at the expense of just one wicket.
