Another roadblock, India on top, but for how long and Vasthu in cricket

After crossing a number of hurdles the Pakistani IPL contingent has hit a "visa deadline" road block. Having not obtained a visa for the Pakistani players, the PCB has again ensured that the current T20 champs will not have any representation in the IPL. I suppose that the frustration of not being able to play in the IPL will drive the PCB to start their own PPL.
Finally, after a 8 year wait, India are atop the Test rankings - at a time when the world was lamenting that India was spoiling test cricket's reach with the IPL. But unfortunately, due to circumstances completely out of their hands, the Indians might find themselves going down the ladder if Australia and South Africa win their respective test series against West Indies and England. Cruel, but that's indicative of BCCI's greed. Would you believe that India will play only 2 test matches in the next 12 months - and that too against Bangladesh? The rest are ODIs and T20s. Baffling!!!!
Here is something interesting. The Rajiv Gandhi stadium in Hyderabad has seen the home teams lose all the matches they have played there so far. That has prompted the authorities to seek ways to ward off the ill luck.
