i think the ODI landscape is changing...our highest score winning against G8 is 251 against RSA. nowadays we pile up 290, 280, 260, and lose. is our bowling that bad, or our batting is not up to par on flat wickets? its a combination of both, but at the same time, gone are the days when teams can defend 235-245 scores. even the top bowling attacks will struggle against non-minnows.
but, did you mean to say we won as virtue of bad calls going in our favor, or despite the bad calls? if its the latter, sure, we won, and thats good. but that can't make up for the fact that we'd have won an equal number of additional games with competent/unbiased umpires. tar por to ross taylor ar maccullum er churi/dakati to asay...
