Excellent thread. For me the biggest factor would be the opening stand. We desperately need Tamim to eat up the overs even if it means toning down his "natural game"; we cannot afford to go all Sehwag in the game. If he restrains himself and then goes berserk at the end, he will put the White in whitewash a la Cameron White in the Aus-Ind PP where 85 runs were scored in just 5 overs.
Slow but steady wins the race.
