Slow death of international cricket

The current side has far better bowling and at least the equal batting.
No, it's not - there are just more runs being scored. Which is due to flatter pitches and weaker opposition attacks.
As for the bowling, well - if it goes on in South Africa like it has been so far I think we might have exposed that one as false.
Well, the present WI side is better than that that toured the previous time.
No, it's not - they actually had a pretty reasonable side last time (Lara, Adams, Ambrose, Walsh, Chanderpaul, King, Sarwan - and God-knows how many batsmen who'd have made hay on the pitches 4 years down the line). Ask Liam if West Indies' Test side of 2004 was better than theirs of 2000 - I highly doubt, once he's put aside his patriotic hope-for-the-future, that he'd tell you it was.

India v Pakistan 5 tests would be cool

India v Australia no one would have complained a 5th test. Okay the Aussies would consider they won at the end of 4 :D

Mot other nations test nations in the top 8, there is a realistic chance of the 4 test series being far more interesting than a 3 test series.
India-Pakistan, yes - but finding the time would be tough.
I'd much prefer India-Australia to remain a standard 4-Tester.
