The comprehensive zimbabwe defeat proved that India can be beaten by any tom dick and harry.So one can understand what will happen if more countries start playing cricket.We can be sure that Indian cricket will go the way of Indian hockey. Once upon a time, India was a giant in the world of hockey when far less countries played hockey.Now India is a minnow.Indians lost interest in hockey. Now cricket is played by just 10 countries.After the zimbabwe experience,it seems that sensible indians have understood what is going to happen in future Indian cricket.Already,the average Indian is losing interest in cricket.With the much hated mouth cancer man becoming icc chief,the situatuon will become worse. So let us all pray that more countries do not play cricket,for the sake of Indian cricket.Otherwise cricket will also go down the drain like hockey in India.

you are wrong buddy, we have won number of multi national tournaments in hockey, number of asia/afro cups. we are getting irritated when the gets defeat on champions trophy / world cup. we are still in the better side. they just need better sponsorship like cricket to improve their skills.
I'm happy not more than eight teams can play decent competitive cricket. Also its good the game has not spread to other countries other than the colonial nations of the british empire. There is going to be a increase in the number of teams in wt20... then I see only bermuda, uae, holland, ireland, kenya, canada, afghanistan, with no test status making it. This will be a bigger shame.
