India is trying to control world cricket with its money power. only south africa retaliated and showed india its place. new zealand should do the same by playing good cricket.
But money does a lot of things. Now that our good McCullum is now team mate of CSK. To build rapport with dhoni he may forget that it is india-newzealand series and play for csk. So pls dont be surprised if you see a dramatic indian comeback and a newzealand setback. dhoni with his match fixing skills can negotiate a good deal with McCullum and persuage him.
IPL has created a bad cricket culture. India is now becoming a disease to world cricket.

good one....commercialisation has it's ill side as well....so one is not surprised if such developments take place....!!!
Bowling has been consistently extremely poor. In case the conditions do not suit their sort of bowling, then they should have stuck to basics instead of trying something that cannot be achieved. Our players have not learnt this yet. Batting failure can be expected but bowling failure is completely due to our own acts for which we should not blame anyone. My observation of our bowlers all through the years is that they completely lack commitment and never stuck to basics and that is the reason for India losing so many matches. We were ranked No.1 team but still in case we check the winning and losing percentage, it can be seen that there is not much difference (wins to the advantage of India) So, my analysis is that we reached the No.1 spot just because teams like Australia, SA, etc. did not perform well during this period and therefore, we reached the top.
The fact that we had No.1 position was not because of consistent performance of our Team but it was due to poor performance of teams like Australia, SA & England. Now that they started performing well, we are likely to be pushed down in ranking in case we do not consistently perform well. But I do not think they have the will to do that for, it needs consistently highest level of performance but that lacks in our team as I find complete lack of commitment.
