I think we were 20-30 short

In that I think we as a team were capable of getting 300 on that pitch had we been a bit more proactive in the mid section of the innings with quick singles and rotating the strike.

Thankfully it did not matter because the Aussies batting is not very good and our bowling is good enough to defend average scores. We will therefore be in the game other than when we get a clearly inadequate score.
