Very much. We may have been able to whack our way out against Zimbabwe and Scotland, but wont be the same against stronger oppositions. Against them we will have to play proper one day cricket. Make good use of fielding restrictions, milk the bowling around from 20-40 overs, and then good old fashioned slogging. Against the big teams we always tend to falter in the middle 20 overs because our batsmen dont rotate strike well and put pressure on themselves and end up trying to play big shots and getting out. Thats what the discussion was all about, and yeah it is a problem!
