Australia (along with many other internation teams) isn't touring S.L. due to the security concerns, other than that we are more than happy to play them. I wouldn't call Sri Lanka a weak Test Team, although they are not as strong as they used to be. There are also a few other normally strong teams that have been performing poorly in Tests like Pakistan, West Indies.
It is a worrying trend, as it seems teams like Australia, South Africa, India, England are on a higher tier at the moment. Lets hope these sides find their feet and become the strong teams we remember, for the sake of the future of test cricket. Poor competition really killed crowd numbers in the 2 recent test series here in Australia.
M&M will clean them up in a heap, the reputation is already gone, the test rating of no. 4 will also slide to 5 or 6 lol who will take such a chance? Let us play only goodie goodie game at home soil , twice a year with NZ, or a five match ashes with England every year or so or may be call pakistan , WI or zimbabwe.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
