GLOUCESTERSHIRE’S Jack Taylor said his side have been ‘too inconsistent’ in the Royal London One-Day Cup as they had mixed fortunes over the weekend.
Gloucestershire went down to defeat against arch rivals Somerset last Friday but bounced back to beat Sussex on the road two days later.
Taylor hit 68 in the Duckworth-Lewis Method defeat to Somerset and his fourth half-century of the one day competition with 64 against Sussex as Gloucestershire won that Sunday clash by six wickets.
However, Gloucestershire are out of the competition the won in 2015 before the knock-out stages take place and wind-up the tournament on Wednesday when they tackle third-placed Surrey at the Brightside Ground, Bristol.
Taylor said: “I'm hitting the ball well at the moment and it was nice to get us over the line for a good victory.
“Although we can't reach the knockout stages it's important to keep playing good cricket, not least because a lot of the skills are used in T20 so it's good practice for that.
“We've just been too inconsistent in this format but I thought we played well today. “We weren't sure what a good score was going to be but I thought we bowled well, especially Chris Liddle, and then Michael Klinger and George Haskins set things up nicely for me and Ian Cockbain at the end.”
