    Look at the current state of the South African team. Two decades back, they used to be the no.1 ODI side. Now they can't even give a good fight against the top teams.
    I am missing those old South African team which is considered to the level of Australia even if they didn't won the world cup trophy due to their players ability but currently they failed to create/find new talent which makes then to suffer a lot but the great thing is they were looking talents in their country so even if they won a trophy they can proudly say we won but other teams you mentioned may not have that much of feeling.

    Cricket is becoming a business more than a game...

    South Africa was a very strong team in the past, but they lost thier way due to the quota system which forces their team to comprise of 6 black players. If South Africa seriously wishes to compete against the top teams then they need to get rid of the quota system, and start selecting players on thier merits and how they perform in the domestic leagues.
