In the ideal scenario, India would have had wicket number 10 fall on the last ball of the innings while running the 5th run or securing 5 wides. What journalists and bloggerazzi routinely term as a collapse is being laughed off by financial wizards as naivette and bumpkinry.
The theory goes that asset utilization is critical to the financial health of any team. Each player is paid several million rupees to be part of the team. Therefore, in order to earn the return on every one of these assets purchased by the team, every batsman has to bat and has to run his natural life at the crease. If they perform less than their average, then I'm assuming they are considered to have underperformed, but being out negates that.
All teams that are getting all out in the 50 overs assigned to them are utlizing their assets fully and therefore are spending their money wisely. Whereas teams like South Africa and Sri Lanka that are winning comfortably with gas left in their tanks are dunderheads.
This is the wisdom that Dhoni and the "think-tank" have acquired, which us naive fans are unable to comprehend and fathom. All is well.
