Scotland game was a must win in any case.

Scotland have had a near perfect last game and Zimbabwe have had exactly the opposite. This is it. Tuesday decides the final spot for WC.

I agree, if someone would have told us, beat Scotland in the last game and you are through to the World Cup, each and every one of us would have taken that. So we don't have any excuses, need to ensure we don't witness another 2018 UAE.

Tbh it’s not Evans fault that he got out like that when it was a very marginal decision but the way Williams, Burl and Raza got out was pathetic esp Raza given he threw his wicket away. Williams and Burl had a lot of gap between bat and pad. SL fast bowlers are pathetic and Zimbabwe lost the match when they gave them 3 wickets
Are you seriously blaming Williams Burl and Raza ? How about they pick 7 batsman and stop giving spuds like Madhevere games when he clearly isn't up to it.

Fuck it is set up for tears. They have to play smart. We need to win that toss as well. What has been the toss win/loss this tournament for us?

Evans planted his front foot across to off. Such a marginal call.

We needed atleast 230 to have even a fighting chance. If we win on Tuesday we get another shot in Harare

How's this old baggy kit they used to play in? Showing highlights from the 80's

I get the idea that Wes has to continue playing for the future. If that really is the strategy then I suggest they bring in Welch from September then Myers when he finishes Uni next year. Welch has to come back and learn.

My confidence comes from them absolutely demolishing Scotland in the warmups. The Oman game played out almost exactly the same as the warm up as well. The toss is key. We have lost 3 in a row. Craig needs to work his magic

Both Welch's and Bennett and Myers
Two of four will come good
