DUBAI (Reuters) - With Australia one victory away from their maiden Twenty20 World Cup title, coach Justin Langer believes the team's poor build-up to the showpiece tournament was not so poor after all.

Australia lost five consecutive Twenty20 series in their lead-up, including in the West Indies and Bangladesh where they fielded depleted squad as several frontline players sat out.
