Default Ageing Stars in World Cricket presents an opportunity for our Team

Our team is quite young and still maturing. Already this year we have put up great performances against the big boys like Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and West Indies.

Just think what lies ahead as we move towards 2015 World Cup:

Sri Lanka: Their key players Sangakara, Jaywardene, Dilshan are all aging. As age catches up with them and they retire, Sri Lanka is bound to hit a slump in performance in the coming years. Apart from Mathews still they haven't found any other consistent performer for their team.

India: Their key players Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gambhir, Dhoni, Zaheer, Harbhajan will also look to retire. The new guys in their team also hasn't settled into their roles yet.

Australia: Hussey Brothers will look to retire and the Aussies surely will miss some quality middle order players

Pakistan: Misbah, Afridi, Younis, Yousuf will go and besides the inconsistent Akmal brothers, no real super stars are emerging with the bat. Their bowling will remain strong as usual though.

South Africa: will surely miss Graem Smith and Kallis

We have beaten WI and NZ with their full strength teams anyways so it doesn't matter who retires.

While all these top teams lose so many of their key players we lose none and our team will only get better with more experience!

What do you guys think?
