Which country would be the best cricket team in the next 5 years?

Question

It wud be the same as now-Australia,or maybe India, Pakistan, England, Newzealand, West indies..etc.!

Answer 1

India by all means. Just wait til Sarad Pawar, Rajiv Shukla, and  Dilip Vengaskar  retire or forced out from Indian Cricket. For a country of close to a billion cricket loving people being on the top of international cricket is not a big deal. It can be achieved in a great hurry if politics is uprooted from cricket.

Australia are having the capability, but India can also be the best.

Answer 3

i think that after five years west indies would be the best cricket team

Sri Lanka and Pakistan they both have new good talented youngsters and they might be in the top rankings in next 5 years and the new teams ireland is improving so much Thanks .

Surely,India.

Answer 24

australia

Answer 25

i guess it should be Australia only as they have very good infrastructure and selection process and promising young players too...

therefore i think Australia.

Answer 26

I would realistically think that it would be one of the sub-continental countries (either SL or India) but South Africa are also playing well... we'll just have to wait and see.

Answer 27

Bangladesh. Or possibly Zimbabwe. It will be a close run contest, but I think these countries will be top of the pile in five years time.

As Barak Obama keeps saying "It's time for change"

Answer 28

Either Australia, or South Africa in test match cricket.

In ODI's and 20/20 cricket, I believe the Asian countries of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will pose a serious threat to the Southern hemisphere's dominance.

I wish it was England.  However, we tend to over bowl our top bowlers, there is too much pressure on Pieterson to "do it all the time" when batting, and the game seems to be run by out of touch public school boys here.

Just an honest opinion.

Numb_Nut_1:

Pakistan wasn't over looked.  You didn't read my post correctly.  And I answered based on all forms of cricket; as the question was not specific in regards to this.

As a gesture of good faith; here's a thumbs up.
