Though I am not a cricket savvy but still then the way our players performed in the whole 20-20 series, I kept a close watch on all the matches of Indian team. In the final match, I did my half day in my office and watched the match. As a layman, I found them good in all departments. After the match winning ball, one simple story clicked in my mind which I read from net itself that how simple things wroks so well and big things fails so oftenly. We sent a simple team without big names and won the tournament. The simple story matches with this win and the story has two parts:

1. Americans went to the moon and found that ink pen does not wort their due to some gravitational problems. After reaching to earth, they did lot of studies and developed a special pen which can work on moon. For this they spent lot of money and time to develop that pen. Next time they took this pen on moon.

After american, Russians went to the moon and observed the same problems. Next time they took one pencil and that worked on the moon simply.

2. One soap making company was getting complaints from the field that many times the customes gets the empty case of the soap ( no soap inside). For this, one specialist took the project and developed a complicated process to control problem after lot of studies and money investments. At last the number of complains got down.

Another soap making company was suffering from the same problem. In a meeting, one of their workers suggested a very simple method to control the same problem and the method was to put a high speed fan vertically on the line and let all the packed soap pass in front of it. The fan air will move away the empty paking of the soap. Everybody agreed and the problem got solved 100%

The above two stories applies to our cricket team also. In 1983, we sent a simple team headed by a non political capitain Kapil Dev and won the Title. After that, lot of studies, laptops, improted coach, action replays, technical players, big names, public opinions, cheer up by corporates, prayers and what not was tried but every times we failed to lift the trophy.

This time in 2007 also, very simple team headed by a simple lad MS Dhoni and we won the Title.

The moral of the story is that many times simple things works better than the power of money and analysis.
