They are good players but not great. Other countries maybe having good players too but as we don't know much about other's players, we think we are the best. I really don't give a damn to performances in junior cricket. What makes you think doing well in Junior cricket will result in success in senior cricket too. The other countries don't have strong junior players and you don't even hear most of their names after they have completed playing age level cricket. So playing well against those teams doesn't mean they will succeed in Ranji Cricket leave alone International Cricket.the_indian_fan said:

well i went purely on youth and domestic system. and overall it has to be Australia. We have the best domestic system and our youth system is top class. there's alot of youngsters around now and there's going to be even more coming through.
However i do see England and SA challenging. As both are looking pretty good to teh future. But let's just hope SA's "coloured" player policy and politics doesn't get the better of them.
India will always have alot of talented players, but i'm not sure how well they'll be able to do without a decent youth system.
W.I is alot like India, but I see things a bit brighter for them because alot of work is being done on youth. Already we're seeing great performances from their very young senior team.
Pakistan again is like India but in a worse state, not only is there a serious lack of youth facilities but their domestic structure leaves alot to be desired.
New Zealand is a difficult one. With such a small population and so many players lost to rugby things may be difficult. The facilities are there but I'm not sure how effective they will be. A couple of poor performances in future Rugby events (fingers crossed) might just provide some more numbers needed to becoem more competitive.
Zimbabwe are in an horrific state. Get Mugabe out and watch the team get better and better IMO. I think they have a chance to be one of the good sort of middle of the table teams. But they also manage to produce such spirited performances they may just take down the likes of Aus and SA on occasions. Their bowling looks the goods with just about all of them being young. Taibu looks to be a great leader for mine as well. A solid keeper and a real fighter as a batsman. Thei only trouble is their batsman are getting old, and the like of Matsikinyeri aren't going to cut it in international cricket. But things will only get better when (Fingers cross here as well) Mugabe goes.
Kenya look the best out of minnow teams and if the ICC manage to set up a good domestic and youth structure i'm sure they'll go from strength to strength.
Bangladesh, like Kenya, need alot of investment into a proper youth and domestic structure. But with so much support for cricket maybe things might get better?
I also see cricket becoming more and more popular. And in 2013 I don't see any clear cut favouries. Australia look to be the best but it's not much of a margin. England and SA would be constantly nipping at their heels. And I could see ALOT of upsets. Leaving it more and more open. Just my thoughts anyway......

For the second time, 10 years is far too long to be predicting with any remote certainty.
Heroes can become zeroes in a matter of a couple of years. Seemingly precocious talents disappear like the light out.
Nothing can really be judged by the quality of youth systems as that can all change in a matter of a year or two. Good players can appear out of nowhere.
Two years is difficult enough - who'd have said 2 years ago that Australia would be struggling with useless bowling. People were denying that up to the start of this series. Ten years is almost impossible.
