We could have won had it not been for his biggest crime of the match..ultra-defensive field setting. At 51/3 and needing 6.3 rpo, they would have been under real pressure had they been forced to go over the top. Dhoni and co. looked very worried. (kudos to them for getting out of it.) But yes, I blame Sakib for that.
I for one, think they have the capability to chase 320-330.. and how does he know we wouldn't have got India all out under 270? You've gotta give your players the best chance, and he didn't.
