One mmmore series with Sri Lanka

One of the most ignored cricket tournament in recent history has been the Asia cup 2010 held in Sri Lanka.
This has been one of the prestigious tournaments in the past. All these regional
tournaments have been fading due to the onslaught of IPL and other T-20 tournaments.
Now, we are facing prospects of one more boring test series and one day series with Sri Lanka.
It looks to me that with Pakistan imploding with their internal strife, there is no one else for BCCI to push their team to. But the question is why play one more meaningless series ?
We have just been through an interesting IPL, a good but no so great T20 World Championship and through a lacklustre Asia cup. Asia cup showed us that there is no more interest in cricket watching public for inconsequential cricket matches.
This will be a great time for all the bowlers and fielders to condition themselves for Australia series. There is World Cup 2011 looming on the horizon. Why put the players in gruel ? Why take the risk of injuring key players? As such, Zahir Khan has declared himself unfit. Is Yuvraj fit yet ? We don't know unless we see him in the tests. We don't know how fit are Srisanth, Ishant Sharma, RP Singh and other medium pace bowlers.
A side thought, when will we produce a 145+ kph bowler ? VRV Singh flattered to deceive a few years ago. Ishant has gone down to 130 kph. We are glad if our bowlers bowl a ball 140 kph .. in a session !
I say let us not worry about Sri Lanka series. Just give them the promised money.
With IPL and all BCCI should have enough money.
Let us prepare for 2011 World Cup!
