After reading all the debates and discussions, I do not want to repeat myself...but I would like to say something. IMO, in the next year or two, the number one ranking will be changing hands between SA, Australia, India, and possibly England. I do not see any of the teams dominating the world cricket like Australia did in the last decade, at least for another 2 years. Australia has a transitioning team and in a year or two, it will come back. India will be competitive for another year or two until their veterans retire. Although SA is a team on top, only time will tell if they are going to be dominating the world cricket for a long period of time.
