What had been India's strong point in International Cricket? Unarguably, the impeccable batting line up and spin bowling which is supposed to be the best in the world. They were never particularly good in pace/fast bowling or fielding. When someone decides to revive or improve the Indian performance, they gotto focus on what we lack and improve what we have. The day the coach ignores the Indian strong points traditionally and decides to go with a 5 bowler strategy, he got the basics wrong! You are weakening the few strong points you have. That means you did not understand Indian cricket! Five bowler strategy with inconsistant, ineffective, expensive bowlers, unpredictable batting line up where the batsmen themselves dont know which position they would play in, breaking the indian backbone from the middle order and making Dravid play at the top, denying the spin maestro kumble a place in the team, who would never like to give up and try his best with the bat whenever possible....well, what else would you expect? Talking about future players and losing today is ridiculous. The players have a right to play as long as they perform and win. How many youngsters have you really nourished?
