Khalid A-H Ansari - "India Should Aim For 400 In All Matches"

In this editorial, Khalid A-H Ansari, the Australia-residing, Indian editor of Mid-Day lauds India for beating all comers, including the Australians, in scoring the first 400+ total in World Cups. He further goes on to say that India should aim to score 400 in all their matches, noting the same points that I mentioned in this post viz: our bowling lacked penetration and that this could be our undoing against tougher opposition. Now, raising the bar to 400 is a good thought, but seeing that it's only happened 5 times in the history of ODIs, it's perhaps asking a bit too much at this stage. On the other hand, all of those 5 400+ scores have occurred in the past year or so - looking at the small grounds, none-too-menacing bowling attacks and power-packed batting line-ups, we can expect a couple of more scores of 400 or thereabouts!
