THE FACT REMAINS THAT GREG WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WEED OUT THE "SUPERSTARS" DURING HIS TENURE. HE BROUGHT IN SO MANY YOUNGSTERS INTO THE GAME, AS HE KNEW THEY HAD HUNGER IN THEIR STOMACHS AND STRENGTH IN THEIR FEET. BUT HE WAS "ADVISED" TO BACK OFF AT EVERY STAGE, AS IT DID NOT SUIT THE COTERIE OF "REGIONAL SELECTORS". LATER, EVEN VENGSARKAR HAD TO "TOE THE LINE" TO ALLOW "REGIONAL SELECTION". SO KAIF, RAINA, RP SINGH, GAMBHIR, VRV SINGH, PATHAN & SREESANTH WERE ALL NOT PLAYED. FINALLY WE TOOK THE "OLDEST TEAM" TO THE WORLD CUP AND JUST SEE HOW THE YOUNG TEAMS WALLOPED US.
