Hi.
Indeed over the recent past the two countries have played a lot of one day cricket against each other. For me, up to now the excitement is there, but if they do keep on playing so much against each other, then I believe it won't be long before the India v Pakistan will be same as any other match that India plays.

Exactly laxman. Nowadays too much cricket has been played and that has resulted in the intensity of Rivalry going down. When India played Pak at WC 2003 the match created huge expectations but now India-Pak clash has become one among the matches. It's all due the administrators who have have scheduled frequent matches to earn more and it has brought the excitement(pre-match hype) down. I also think this also has to do with the strengths of the team. India currently are far better than Pakistan. And nowadays the rivalry has nothing to do with the history (i.e) stronger teams are considered rivals. Indo-Aus series create great expectations as both are good teams. And I feel Indo-Pak clashes and Eng-Aus Ashes wont be the same as they were in the past.

I agree there is too much cricket between india and Pak. Indo-Pak matches have lost the excitement that it should to hav earlier. One reason reason is also that Pakistan have no Powerful players like Inzi, Saeed anwar, waqar. And India are without Sachin Rahul and Sourav.
But nevertheless i still watch Indo-Pak matches.

I too agree with you that there are too many matches between the two teams and i too love to watch matches between India and Australia. Ya the fire that we observed between the two teams is not as much as before, it's always good to play with the top team and winning against them.Now India are in a position to to beat any team in the world.
