Rhodes, one of the world's best fielders, is set to make his 200th appearance in the final game of the seven-match series between West Indies and South Africa.

The tourists, who became the first team ever to win a Test and one-day series in the Caribbean 10 days ago, will be bidding for a 6-1 triumph.

Rhodes, 31, who made his one-day debut at the 1992 World Cup in Australia, said he would not be dwelling on his own achievement.

Rhodes, who still has some to way to go if he is to overhaul Mohammad Azharuddin's world record of 334 one-day caps, has set his sights on playing in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.

"The next World Cup is my goal, not the number of caps.

"Besides, there are 25-year-olds in the (South Africa) team who have already played 120 or 140 games - they'll be playing 250 or 300! I'm just grateful to have played two, let alone 200."

Since retiring from Test cricket last year to concentrate on the one-day game, Rhodes has enjoyed the challenge of adapting to the plentiful changes which have occurred in one-day internationals.

"The skills have definitely changed and we've learned and adapted because the game has changed.

"We've moved with the times and sometimes we've actually instigated the changes.

Any notion that the 31-year-old was losing some of his sharpness in the field was quickly dispelled in the West Indies after a series of breathtaking catches and run outs.

Instincts

Twice Rhodes dismissed key batsman Brian Lara with match-winning moments of magic.

"People ask me how I take catches like that; well, I practise them. My hips are shot, my elbows are sore and my knees are grazed - but that's what we do.

"It's nice to take those catches but we're not surprised because that's what we practise.

"It's like batting - the more you think, the more mistakes you're going to make - just let your instincts take over."
