Rhodes wants to continue his work with Zimbabwe

Lynn McConnell

February 8, 2002

Zimbabwe Under-19 coach Steve Rhodes, who saw his side win the Plate Championship at the ICC Under-19 World Cup today, says he has unfinished business with the side but he does not know whether he will get the chance to complete it.

The side flies out of Christchurch for home tomorrow with the player of the tournament, Tatenda Taibu, on board and some silverware to show for their efforts.

While there was disappointment the side had not qualified for the Super League section of the tournament, it had done the next best thing by taking out the Plate. And it did so by a comfortable margin of 137 runs.

Rhodes said he believed Zimbabwe had the talent and while it didn't have the depth, there were signs of development.

He had been delighted with the way players like fast bowler Waddington Mwayenga and left-arm leg-spinner Stanley Marisa had developed and the innings by Brendon Taylor, who scored a fine unbeaten 100 today, had been a delight.

"I'd like to carry it on," Rhodes said.

"It is a lovely place and the job is not finished. The black kids are now starting to come through and in the high density population areas cricket is the fastest-growing sport.

"They are talented and the pick things up quickly.

"It is the cricket awareness they need," he said.

That has been one of the benefits of this tournament for the side and Rhodes said the Cup had been well organised and the Lincoln complex had been tremendous for the event.
