Last week it was test of Test matches in world cricket. Two fantastic test matches were played, one on the eastern and another in western hemisphere. Testimony to say that Test matches are neither boring nor reaching its end. These kind of hard fought days will really put back the crowds into the stadiums. Ask any cricketer who had played T20, ODI, their aspirations will be to play Test matches. Great Test match innings will be remembered longer than the other formats..
The match on the eastern hemisphere, one team was playing only to win the match and another one was playing not to loose. Very few teams in the world went on to win the test match after getting bowled out for 120 odd runs and conceding a 200 odd runs lead to the opposition in the first innings. The reason Team A win the match was, it was playing from the winning perspective. Their strength stemmed from the TRUST that they can win the match, where as opposition team played with a BELIEF that they may win the match if everything fall in place. BELIEF may or may not guarantee the success but TRUST will. It was a tight Test match which could had gone either way but one Team won it because they trusted that they could win from any position. This conclusion is very true if we really analyze how things turned out the last day of the match.
As mentioned in the earlier blog great teams pull out the wins from any circumstances. If they see a small ray of window, they will convert that into gateway of success. All three days Team A were down on the mat and in one session when the opposition were playing not to loose, they just pounced and converted into a remarkable victory. This is the hall mark of the great teams and particularly this team is in the process of building after the exit of some great players.
This is what exactly happens in any successful business organizations, teams come out with breakthrough innovations if they trust in their strengths and then put the competitors in disarray.
