ICC T20 World Cup 2022 [ Australia ] : Qualifiers

[sam_ahm]

Looks like these are Zim fixtures:

11th Jul v Singapore
12th Jul v Jersey
14th Jul v USA
15th Jul SFs
17th Jul Finals.

SFs and Finals, if they make it ofcourse and I think they will have warmups between 8th to 10th.

Both finalists qualify right? So the ‘real’ final is on the 15th.

If we don’t win all three of those group games we might as well give up cricket altogether Jersey ffs

I was organising a trip to Bulawayo with some mates to watch. I honestly think it might be preferable to attend one of the games not involving Zim instead

Yup, both finalists qualify! Should win all the games ideally.

I don't know, it's 20-20. For example, if Tim David plays for Singapore and gets going they could put up a big total. I'm not sure about the USA squad but I know they've been recruiting over the years.

If Lancashire qualify for the Blast quarterfinals (looking likely) then Tim David won’t be playing for Singapore

[sam_ahm]

Tim David is very unlikely to play. I don't think he is interested in playing for Singapore either, definitely has ambitions to play for Australia.

I'm sure he'd play this tournament if he was free. It wouldn't have an impact on Oz ambitions because you can go from associate to full member with no grace period. If Lancashire start losing and they don't get through, then he'll turn up for Singapore I'm sure. But that's looking unlikely.

Jersey will be surprisingly good, I reckon. They used to have a youngster called Jonty Jenner that I watched a few times. As a fact one of the best fielders on the planet, like his namesake, absolutely electric at point. He was a top player, I dunno what happened to him.
In fact I know Jersey will be decent.

This is a strange game, I cant seem to find what he's been up to. I thought this guy had a huge career ahead of him. I once saw him take 3 impossible catches in one innings, literally not dissimilar to Jonty Rhodes.
You can't take anything for granted in T20, anything can happen. The only thing that makes you a bit more secure is real depth in the batting line up, guys need to be able to play their shots and know the next guy is just as capable.
Don't take Jersey lightly!!
