You poor thing!   Seriously though, I feel so sorry for you that I am going to
transcribe a rather lengthy report of the match from the Daily Telegraph, along
with the scoreboards.  Here goes.

******

The South African bowlers suffered their second caning in six days  from Phil
Simmons at the Queen's Park Oval yesterday as the West Indies achieved a 3-0
clean sweep in the one-day series.  Their seven wicket victory with seven overs
to spare was only marginally less emphatic than a crushing 10 wicket triumph in
the second match on Saturday.  Simmons's 104 was his third century in his last
four one-day internatioinal innings, for he made 110 against Sri Lanka in West
Indies' penultimate game of the World Cup.

If he made a much less certain start yesterday than in Jamaica, his second 50
was an equally violent replica.  It was achieved off only 33 balls, two more
than at Sabina Park.  His first 50 had taken him 103 deliveries.  Yet Simmons
was extremely  fortunate to survive beyond his first over.  He came in after
only one ball of the innings when Haynes was bowled by a beautyfrom Pringle,
and appeared to glove a rising delivery to the wicketkeeper.  To the dismay of
the South Africans, umpire Cumberbatch merely signalled a legside wide

Pringle bowled a particularly good opening spell of five overs for six runs,
which augurs well for the Test match as he ahd struggled to find his rhythm
previously.  Fellow strike bowler Donald was rested yesterday.  Bosch was also
impressive in his first spell, when he must haave been perilously close to
having Simmons lbw.  Whem he returned, however, he was hit for three fours and
a six in one over by the Trinidadadian, who then crashed van Zyl over extra
cover for another six.

Simmons put on 78 in 27 overs with Lara before the latter was deceived by
Kuiper's slower ball and gave a catch to mid-off.  Simmons's third wicket stand
with Richardson realised 104 in 15 overs.  The West Indies captain was
applauded all the way to the wicket, then seemed to play himself vack into some
sort of form.

The South Africans, who were put in, made a steady start, reaching 58 for one
after f20 overs, but were unable to accelerate against miserly seam bowling and
Harper's accurate off-spin.  Hudson, who had played the most fluently for his
30 from 54 balls, was caught behind trying to cut Harper, who was also rewarded
with the wickett of Rushmere when he beat him in the flight.

It was the latter's first innigs of the tour.  Rushmere spent 71 balls over his
29, and at times it seemed as if Wessels and Kirsten were more interested in
spending much needed time in the middle than trying to set a challenging
target.  Wesssels spent 77 balls over his 45, and Kirsten 50 balls over his 28. 
With the pitch playing slower than the previous day, forcing the ball was not
easy, and only some effective slogging by Cronje (23 off 24 balls) ensured
respectability.
