Tall, burly all-rounder Craig Evans has had a chequered career for Zimbabwe

Craig Evans is a Russian-roulette type of batsman

The Zimbabwe Board XI completed a `double' over the visiting Natal B team by defeating them by four wickets in the one-day game, following on from their three-day victory the previous day

Craig Evans (153) and Dirk Viljoen (173 not out) set a new record for all Zimbabwean partnerships when they added 330 together for the fourth wicket for Mashonaland against Matabeleland in the recent Logan Cup match at Bulawayo Athletic Club

After putting up a good fight for the first day and a half of the Logan Cup match at Bulawayo Athletic Club, Matabeleland then subsided weakly to lose to Mashonaland by the huge margin of 276 runs in a most unimpressive performance
