Sean Ervine

[zinfanatic]

To me he will fit in perfectly into our middle order 4-5, add valuable experience and especially for the youngsters in the team. He can bowl a quick and heavy ball and in partnerships with say Price or Utseya. Very valuable cricketer in my opinion.

I know its old news but seeing we on the topic, What i find strange is not a lot of people given the oppotunity would turn down playing for their country let alone a 'World Cup' . So from the outside there just seemed to be other issues involved when the decision came about, take the topic brought up by charles coventry for instance, if these things are happening how can we expect the likes of Ervine, Cameron etc to come back when they are getting treated way better in county cricket and county cricket being now the strongest domestic cricket competition in the world? i have no doubt if promises were kept we would see these guys playing in our colours. I dont believe for a sec that his excuse to pull out was because he was getting married etc, if you check his facebook he's single so he must have been covering something up that happened between him and whoever he was talking to, im guessing (Campbell or Bvute) judging by the statements AC was dishing out.

Maehara can you lock this thread plz, or do I have say something particularly nasty and below the belt about his wife to get it locked

Why should we lock this thread? Isn't it better to have one large thread about Sean Ervine instead of someone starting a new thread every time he scores a run in county cricket or takes a wicket? If you don't like this thread don't read it.

While the thread is flogging a dead horse beyond any recognition (Sean's not coming back, folks), it's not breaking any rules. If people want to talk about Sean, best to keep it confined in one easy-to-ignore thread, yes?

I think it is time to start a similar Anthony Ireland thread.

[ZIMDOGGY]

Threads like this tend to die naturally.

That is of course if there's no interest but this is the most read thread on zcf for some time now.

Sean ervine is like the Anthony mundine or lady gaga of this forum, because like him or hate him- he draws interest from every zim fan when he's mentioned. He is instant viewer ratings!

[ZIMDOGGY]

Also that's a tip for any forumer,

If you start a thread and want alot of hits, name drop Sean ervine in the title.

[eugene]

Sean Ervine draws even more conversation than Matsi and Dabengwa combined. The comparisons with Lady Gaga or Anthony Mundine really aren't far off the mark.

[ZIMDOGGY]

Sean is both loved here and resented/hated.

Our golden boy that became the villain.

Like the rich uncle that bought you things as a kid, then molested you later.

He seems different to the other exports, you always get the feeling with him that it hurts him he's nit there with us, but he's torn by other factors in his life.

I think Sean's reasons for not returning to Zimbabwe are valid given the recent comments by Taibu. Why would anyone come back to no contract and no money?
