JOHANNESBURG -- Former skipper Tatenda Taibu, says while Zimbabwe may have lost both the Twenty20 international and One-Day International series to South Africa the side has not disgraced itself. He urged the team the team to remain positive ahead of the final One Day international Series match against their neighbours today in Benoni.
We have to carry on being positive, we shouldn’t lose that. We should keep our shoulders high and our chins up and play as positively as we can because that’s our only chance to beat South Africa . We obviously have a lot of work to do on our bowling, and also with the batsmen.
When they get starts they need to carry on and score big runs as the South Africans are doing. When you look at the two teams at the moment, you can see the intensity that the South Africans have and we have to emulate that as we try to become a recognised team, Taibu told media ahead of the match.
The batsman top-scored in a team total of 268 with 78, but Zimbabwe lost yet again to go down 0-2 in the three-match One-Day International series.?He spoke glowingly about his performance.
I thought there was enough time to get another hundred against South Africa . I always cherish my innings that I play against south Africa, because they are one of the best teams so if you play well against them it’s always an innings to cherish. There was definitely enough time for me to get a hundred so I was a little disappointed not to get there.
