Zimbabwe v Sri Lanka | ICC CWC Qualifier | 2nd July 2023

The cricketing gods have not smiled at him.

He made his choices

Roland Rat got one right

[Googly]

He made his choices

He was a tad impatient. He was being taught a long lesson and felt his career was slipping by. Hardly a fair statement.

Everyone calls for Evans to be playing when he is out of side.
Everyone moans about Evans when he is in the side.

You guys are a wierd bunch

[CalZim]

Where is Larry when you need him.....

Needless to say, winning the toss is huge

Not sure today would have been a different result, but it wouldn’t have been this bad.

Starting down the barrel of a ten wicket loss here.

That's absolutely true - there was a lot of bad blood and of course everything was pretty shit at the time. But the fact was, at the same time he underperformed for several seasons in domestic cricket and simply didn't do enough to make it impossible for them to ignore him.

Who hasn't fallen out with ZC? Most of our current best players have, big time. But at the end of the day they are too good to ignore and now they are reaping the benefits of being in a really good, much improved environment.

I feel sad for him that it isn't working out with Ireland, but he made his choice to depart.

Not been able to watch any of the match today. Sounds like a blessing

[Googly]

Ya I agree with all that. I just hate seeing a good cricketers career go down the shitter. Plus he's a really good guy.
