i'd say we have a fair chance of putting up 300 against the indian bowling attack, given we have tamim instead of ashraful opening with nafees, bashar and ashraful in a better form, mushfiqur rahim, and mashrafe's batting abilities on flat pitches (which i think will extend to sporting wickets as well, if he bats straighter)
I think you missed the point. When the runs truly mattered, we failed to score and wilted under pressure. And when the game virtually over, we managed to scrap some useless runs because by then our opposition couldn't be bothered to save few runs.
