This shows preparation is the key, and you cant take any game casually. Look at SL and NZ, they rested all their key players for a game and lost games that although academic were critical in terms of moral victory. The Aussies are ruthless and dont want to lose a single game in an important tourno. They were totally putdown by everyone coming into the WC after losing a unneeded tour to NZ which most players boycotted, saying Mgrath is old and this and that. They still won the tourno thumping every team in the way, and idiots are saying GC did it for them by ruining the Indian team. If only as a professional we encourage people to prepare. Preparation is they key, somehow our brilliant minds do so well in examinations in terms of preparation, however once we start working most of them just lose focus on its importance.
