The South African tour was cancelled because the return vs risk didnt stack up, Saffies are a minnow money wise and the only teams Australia want to play are India and England where the money stacks up. The CoVid risk gets thrown out the door when its the IPL of course...India rule all forms of the game and control world cricket with the money the generate, there will never be a level playing field for any other country especially in these CoVid times.
All the other countries will just fall into line even the sworn enemies like Pakistan when there is a rupee to be made.
Cricket has become a reality series which generates characters like Kholi whose personal life and what his baby is named is as important as his test average because it all makes money.
Everyone wants a slice of the Indian money, the ability to play a cross bat slog, reverse sweep or ramp shot is going to make you more money than a backward defensive shot with the elbow high and bat straight.
I'm waiting for the player who brings out a cricket book/manual that shows all the one day shots and the lack of technique/footwork required...
