I grew up watching the incredible Sharjah cups compromising of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, South Africa etc which were really competitive and full of excitement. 

On the other hand we had the VB series in Australia. But in recent years, the number of Tri-Series' have diminished dramatically. its understandable with what happened with Sharjah Cup but it could have been shifted elsewhere too. 

Even the VB series became a bilateral one for 5 years. 

What is the reason behind this? has it got do with money or something? 

A Tri-Series is always more exciting and superior compared to a bilateral series. Especially when compared to a 3 match ODI series which is pretty meaningless. 

For example, the recent ODI series between Pakistan and India would have been much more intriguing had it been a Tri-Series between India, Pakistan and England who immediately after the Pakistan series, played a 5 match series with India.

I read this article a couple of times - did it really mean danger signs?

South Africa, the team sitting on top of the world with a batting and bowling line up to die for is worried because they have a change in coach?

Is that "worry for the sake if it" or the sign of a side that will not let its guard down!

The most complex task is compiling the ultimate pace bowling combination in a team. Accuracy,pace,control,versatality,swing etc have all to be considered. Some paceman posessed a particular quality more than any other bowler. Waqar Younus, Alan Donald, Jeff Thomson, Michael Holding, Shoaib Akhtar stood out for pure pace, Glen Mcgrath and Richard Hadlee the ultimate for control, Joel Garner and Curtly Ambrose the kings for pure accuracy in the blockhole, Wasim Akram and Imran Khan the kings of reverse swing and the best with the old ball. On the other hand Dennis Lillee, Malcolm Marshall and Andy Roberts combined all these qualities-be it pace, control, movement and variation.
