ICC T20 World Cup 2022 [ Australia ] : Qualification Scenario

He's still playing for Jersey this year by the looks of it.

Must be something about that name and fielding 😂

This guy should have walked into a county contract, shows how full of it they are. Miles better than a lot of guys that have had a free run at it.

Only Zimbabweans get to call him Slug. 'Tsek.

I still can't understand why they are hosting this in Bulawayo. But anyway, presumably they need two ground for this. BAC as of a couple of months ago was terrible, the outfield in particular. Presumably the ICC are throwing some money ZC's way to sort it out in time.

Presuming we get through our group, who are we expecting to face in the semi's? Netherlands or Hong Kong I think?

Our boys are going to have to improve to get through.

Uganda are a stronger side than Hong Kong, they recently beat Namibia in a t20 international

They have 2 or 3 players that would easily get into our XI.

Ssezai is an incredible batsmen at associate level, if he gets going we’re in trouble.

Kyewuta is new to the Ugandan squad but he is quick and gets it to move away. Namibian batsmen didn’t have a clue how to play him and that is saying something. I watched the whole series.

A couple of the Asian lads are pretty dangerous too and that young ssessonyondo is a great wicket to wicket spinner, can be very economical (although struggled against Namibia)

Well they lost to both Hong Kong and Jersey just this week so I'm not sure about that. All these teams are pretty similar. Even more so in T20. I think Uganda could finish bottom of their group though.

I'd like to see fellow African brethren doing well but I don't think they will.

Other than Netherlands and USA, I don't think any other team will be a serious contender to go through, as I said earlier USA are in Zimbabwe's group so facing them in the SF is ruled out and as long as Zim finish top of table, they should be able to avoid Netherlands as well.

I really wish you would stop talking.

All your ‘analysis’ is really inane.

Does anyone have any idea what the financial upside is of making the T20 WC? Do we get a lump sum payment, a percentage of revenues, or what? Will it just be the customary egg on the face scenario or do we stand to lose out on a big payday?

ICC must be starting to wonder where the money has gone they've sent us to host all these qualifiers by now. It's a lot and I'll guarantee there's some last minute panic trying to get grounds ship shape. They'll fall into the customary disrepair shortly thereafter, but what the hell.

I'm anxious to see USA play their warm up games. I don't think any of these games will be easy.

Having to play these qualifiers in a way is a good thing, we can't hide the state of our cricket with automatic qualification any longer and things have to be done to try and improve our domestic standard.

I've just seen the Zim cricket tweet. It shows coaches standing in a line having to show their drives and their gather. We're a member nation, this is acutely embarrassing. If you have to teach a level 2 coach how to do that then the s**t is a mile deep. How's he then going to teach a player if he's only just gotten the idea himself?

If its just a PR exercise to show they're doing something it has the opposite effect. Too little too late. Who'd send their kid here for training?

C'mon man. Raise the bar a notch, and don't proudly take pictures.

I'm watching Gill and Sharma face Bumhra (sp) in a warm up game. I've always wondered about that. 😂

Theyre dealing with him easy. Gill is a serious player! Damn

68 000 people watching the livestream and its a warm up game 😂

We have about 23 tops.

2nd team bowler gets Gill to nick off! Strange old game.
