Dilapidated cricket infrastructure, a nation that is in shambles and the threat of rising associate nations; Zimbabwe had little in their favour to ignite even a wisp of belief when they came to Sri Lanka.

Three days after the premium personification of unparalleled modesty, Sachin Tendulkar bid adieu to the world of cricket, the very face of humility was set ablaze in arrogant flames as Zlatan Ibrahimovic declared the worthlessness of football’s greatest stage without him on the backdrop of Sweden bowing out of the qualifiers for FIFA World Cup 2014.
