Playing against big teams are always important, I dont disagree on that. But there is more to that to become a complete team.

We can't win mainly because of our poor skill level. And there's huge difference between winning against big teams, and winning against minnows. Against Zim/Ken they know that they're playing against a weaker/on par team. When they go back to playing against big teams, the negative attitude comes back. If we're more confident against minnows than before, it's due to our upset victories/few good performances against big teams.
When we have players with necessary skill, they'll eventually find out how to win regularly against big teams. 3rd and 5th ODI of this series showed that these matches aren't doing anything to increase skill. Today a bowler who was semi-regular in the former full-strength Zimbabwe ODI side triggered a batting collapse.
