Where do people see it at the moment, and in the future of the game? Can any team make a breakthrough and really improve. Or maybe like Gelman (pasag) said that eventually a 500 runs total will be chased down in a Test and I agree with that, Sri Lanka might have got that had the two Jayawrdene's, Vandort and Silva at least contributed 25-30 (or one to make up for the other) runs each and Sangakkara not getting that unlucky call they may well have got home.
I also see something has to give in New Zealand cricket because sooner or later it has to occur to somebody on why so many of their good cricketers always seem to be injury prone, the careers of Nash, Allott, O'Connor and to an extent Cairns were all lost because of serious injuries. Even Astle can count as well, and yet in Australia there isn't as many injury problems amongst the senior team? If it were the All Blacks and a lot of the top players kept getting injured every five minutes, would it continue for so long before something was done about it? Of course not.
