Not only that, we didn't have the Ash/Aftab partnership or 70 runs in the last 7 overs in the plan either. Our middle/late order overachieved compared to their usual standard. With no Golla in the team, we will regularly have good chance of scoring 250 and if our middle order/late order enjoy such a good day we will get even more.
SN was dropped for not performing in 2 matches (those 20-20 slogfests don't count, these matches don't help a batsman if he's not in great form and we are a very poor 20-20 side anyway). It was said that some break would do him good. He had his break, now it's time to bring him back in the team.
