I hope the 80 odd runs added by sami & co dont come back to haunt us, especially since we bat last. In low scoring encounters, the runs put together by tail enders often makes the diff between haar & jeet. In the in-famous barbados test in 1997, the windies last two wickets put together 80 runs, the indian last 2 pairs ->40 runs. The margin by which we fell short->40 runs
Aside : in India's victorious tour to Eng in 1986, Kiran More batting at 7 or 8 averaged 50+ . In all the matches he held the poonch together to convert mediocre scores into match winning ones.
