Great for cricketing wise!

Two more teams for Australia to lose too...

My hope is they start a Tier system in test cricket soon and include a very good/fair/comprehensive method for movement between tiers!

One question though, is it safe to tour Afghanistan?

I don't think so...

They will play in India I suppose. There is already a stadium dedicated for Afghanistan

Now this one sensible outcome. The umpire's call was ridiculous in its past form.

To read the opinions of dozens of international (mostly Indian) experts on Pakistan's security, have a look at the comments.

Exceptional article. Looking at the stats, there is a noticeable difference between the number of matches played by Smith/Warner (only 2 players in the top 9 to play less than 148 games) and the rest of the top scorers. Big players (and the team in itself) not playing enough games is one of the most important reasons why Australia has recently struggled in ICC tournaments. While most of their rivals keep playing games to build up a chemistry between the players and to maintain a settled XI (India and England do this best), Australia simply don't play enough and consequently don't have a stable first team.

International cricket faces 'looming potential crisis' | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

This an interesting read. Its becoming increasingly difficult for territorial boards to keep cricketers interested in test cricket. Can we blame a guy though for wanting to make more money in the T20 leagues?

Call me old fashioned but I'll take test cricket or ODI over T20 anyday

West Indies cricket has been destroyed bu the IPL. Australia are having issues now and the English may soon experience it as well. Historicaly theae teams have been the powerhouse of cricket for a century or so!

Theonly team safe is India cuz their economy can make T20 flourish.

I think test cricket is close to an end but still holds some significance./

2011 World Cup final loss to India should be investigated: Ranatunga | Cricbuzz.com

Arjuna Ranatunga - has gone a step higher with the latter demanding an investigation into the 2011 World Cup final between India and Sri Lanka. Ranatunga, who was on commentary duty during the World Cup final believed that the Sri Lankan side, led by Sangakkara, played suspiciously below par in that match.

Made many posts that India bought that world cup!
