U r right Major.The selection of these two guys Venkatesh Prasad & Robin Singh has less to do with their cricketing talent and more with the fact that they have tried their level best to keep BCCI & its officials happy over the last few years.Perhaps,Wasim Akram/Allan Donald/Michael Holding/Glen McGraw(post- retirement)might have been better choices but Prasad has his own merits.He is a mediocre in every sense and is largely perceived by Dravid & everyone else as a harmless,meek creature.His cricketing intelligence is also suspect which is another plus in Indian cricket.I guess intelligence-wise Prasad & Pawar are birds of the same feather,so they were always likely to flock together.Anyway,one should be happy for him for now he will be able to supplement his retirement-income and that too..without doing much/anything.
