In phase III: under ???, we need to start scoring ~290+ consistently
In Phase IV: may be we may dream of scoring ~310 consistently

Note:- ofcourse we are talking about flat wickets
Its not about the coaches but the whole dynamics of ODIs have changed a lot. 10-12 years ago, 250 was a winning a target and 300 is a sure win. That's why India's 316 chase against Pak in Dhaka (1998) stood there for a long time (AUS chased 316 same year). Then the dam broke after few years and now no score is safe.

With 2 new balls, 3 PPs + restriction on fielders on boundary, it is much easier to score. BD can score 300. In 2010 we scored 290+ against India.
