True especially in those kind of qualifiers. Anything can happen because we are not the most dependable team out there. The gap between us and the USA for example is much smaller than the gap between us and a team like New Zealand.
We should think long and hard about our team selection. We need guys who know how to punish bad bowling. A team of overthinkers who can't clear the ropes is the last thing we need.

Would be interesting to see how the groups are divided ..even though zimbabwe might not win the group ..but they should still certainly go through ..the difficult teams that I can think of is oman uae netherland and ireland . And we don't have to play all of them ..so we should surely go through ..again it would be interesting to see if we top the group

I agree. We still have a mentality that T20 cricket is bash cricket. Go out there and just try to send the ball to Vic Falls, regardless of the pitch.
We need to start thinking of it as a specialist format and training as such. Rajput doesn't do that, but what does ZC care if we have a mediocre coach.
We really need to identify a pool of players for this and start getting them playing regularly. We should arrange comps against Uganda or Nigeria if we have to. Anything to give the guys match practice. Can even arrange games against domestic SA sides then at least we can also play on different pitches.

Selectors might rethink in this situation and bring back Cephas Zhuwao in T20 qualifiers as he has got the reputation of demolishing the associate team bowling attack.

In a way Rajput is actually trying something that worked for India when he was the manager. He comes from managing a team which dropped Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly from 2007 T20 WC and went in with a very young squad lead by MS Dhoni that won the first ever T20 WC. Interestingly after 2007, India never won T20 WC despite having strong teams full of experienced players.
I think he is trying to do the same here with Zimbabwe, by increasing the pool of players and focusing only on the younger players for T20s. Obviously it has not gone down well with the senior players but I'm beginning to think Rajput is atleast trying something different, which if works, can be really good for Zimbabwe.
Now don't bash me up for this folks 😂

It makes sense to me in matches that have no meaning but do we really leave Raza out for the qualifiers? That's what I want to see.

I see the logic, I don't see the sense.
India still had world class players even without those. It was not as if MS was an unknown. Zim don't have that luxury. Our senior players are our best players. Zim wants to nurture young talent, thats fine, but that is what the A side and domestic scene is for.

Pretty even pools, Zim will still have to play well with USA and Netherlands in our pool

Team which Zim will find tough in that group is the combination of India- Pak domestic cricketers enabled USA & Hong Kong, rest of the matches will be a cake walk for Zim, even the Netherlands match also will be easy for Zim.
But still in T20 cricket its proved again & again there is no strong teams, any team can upset in their given day.

Literally makes zero sense to have the qualifiers in Oman when the real event is in Australia. The qualifiers should have been in Ireland to make it closer to the kind of pace friendly conditions that we will get in Australia.
I fear for Ireland, as of now they are struggling. Nothing against the associates like Oman but honestly I'd like to see the test playing nations move forward, esp when I know Ireland are likely to be more competitive in Australia than oman.

Nah, I'd rather the associates advance. Ireland gets $7m a year from the ICC. Oman gets about $600k. Kudos to them for being just as good/better whilst also being financially self sustaining.
Besides, Oman are probably just as likely to play a Test as Ireland any time soon 😂
I'll be happy if Oman and the UAE go through. Nepal are alright, but their fans are a bit annoying

Ya the associates put in a lot of effort I agree. Ireland seem to have got back on track now, some good hitting by delany.

If we get Zimbabwe, Ireland, UAE and Netherlands get through to the world cup, then along with Namibia, Scotland, they will probably form the strongest contingent from outside of top 10 (Afghans included in top 10) to make it to the world cup. In my view.
We will have all 16 nations who are very much capable of a challenge in that case.

Ireland & UAE are through to the first round of the T20 World Cup. Great chance for Zimbabwe but never know as the format is T20. PNG, Jersey, Uganda might not be a big problem for Zim, Singapore has a win over Zim in T20 the hurdle will be Hong Kong & USA both teams have some top class domestic players from asia. Hong Kong guys have lots of experience in hard hitting as they plays lots of Super Sixes games

Hong Kong does not have any "top class domestic players from Asia". They are mostly brown/white Hong Kongers. Most of the squad were born there or lived there since nursery or primary age. The majority learnt all their cricket there, went through the HK U16 and U19s, and hold only HK passports. Many of the squad speak fluent Chinese.
There's only 1 Pakistani guy in the squad who could be considered an 'import', but even he's lived there for 10 years now too.
As for 'lots of Super Sixes games'. It's only been played once in the past decade. Your cricket knowledge is funny. 😂
Anyway, I wouldn't be too bothered about them. They are still s***ting themselves over the Omicold and living under the world's strictest Covid lockdown rules and aren't able to play any local cricket currently, and haven't played an international for over 2 years. USA are the real potential banana skin for us.
