Is it the end of Indian sorcery?

The tragedy for world cricket would be for all the countries to adopt
Australia’s coaching methods and philosophy. Sure, there is much good in
Australian coaching, but I don’t want to see other teams in the world as clones
of Australian cricket.

The beauty of world cricket has always been
the contrasting styles and flavours of the various cricketing nations. Right
now, unfortunately, much of those traditional charm and character is fast
disappearing from the stage of world cricket. The West Indies are a classic
example as they are only a pale shadow of a great cricketing nation they once
were.

Aren’t we following the Australian path? Does it mean the demise of our ‘wrist play’ and ‘spinning fingers’?
