The problem with the Indian team in the last few years is that the selectors lose trust and interest in a player if he underperfoms in a few matches. It then gets him onto a slippery slope from which he may never recover. This is particularly true of bowlers in the last decade. Venkat Prasad, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Laxmipathy Balaji, the various Singhs etc etc have come, occasionally promised and gone like yesterday's news. I know that injury has something to do with a few players, but I don't think the Indian board is falling over themselves to help players or try to build a talented team. There is going to be a huge hole when the likes of Kumble, Tendulkar, Ganguly and Dravid retire, which will be soon.
