) and of they're playing on a small ground with good batting pitches,you never know...
Also,many teams are crossing the 400-run mark now-a-days which shows that more runs are coming.
But in a way,what Ernest says is true.It's not about the strike-rate.But you need to maintain that Strike-rate for a long time staying not out.It's most probably going to be an opening batsman,he can play out the 50 overs.
I remember in 2005 when Sri Lanka toured India.They set India a target of 297.India lost an early wicket and Mahendra Singh Dhoni came at no.3.He scored 183* and finished of the game in the 46th over.If India had batted first or if the target was higher,I could imagine him getting to 200.
