On Indian Cricket context, The feeling of complacency hardly happens. It could be true for Australians, but definitely not for the Indians.Overconfidence without confidence is an oxymoron.
I bet Indians never show any sign of confidence on final matches be it with Australia or Bangladesh. Indians take a typical "middle-class family" approach( Well my intention is not to dis-respect the middle-class-family approach).The approach speaks something like :" Take minimal risk irrespective of the magnitude of achievements at the end of the day". Winning a match like final, requires a lot of positive attitude, risk taking ability and self-belief. Indians don't have that self-belief. They know they can't chase something as big as 434. So they prefer to settle for a "respectable" score(a middle class family approach where you are happy though you don't win).
What Robin Sharma says in "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", if you want to achieve something big, then you must dream big. Big is boundless, well it could be something like chasing 434 or getting a salary of 1 crore or being the CEO of a company etc etc. You define the bound for yourself. Unles you dream, you can never ever think of acting. Action is bound to follow because of the passion you generate through your dream.
