What you do isn’t prep for a landmark final – once you become a quizzer, you just can’t help noticing and retaining facts. Similarly, people who enjoy their early morning outing at a cricket net will be quite happy to watch robelinda2’s youtube videos or pick up old flip books from blossoms for the sheer fun of it, while subconsciously figuring out how they can improve their cover drive. Not as batting practice or match prep. For the sheer fun of it, not because they dream of an envelope full of landmark coupons or becoming the next Sachin Tendulkar. Of course you get people who obsess over quiz archives and force themselves to watch movies just because they know for sure it is going to occur as a Landmark prelim question that will give them the extra one point that will take them through to the final. And professional cricketers routinely go frame by frame through match footage as part of their prep and formulate strategies to hit some bowler out of the park when they next face him. I am not sure just where the boundary lies where it stops being good clean fun and suddenly becomes work, but it exists.
