Why Venkatesh Prasad as bowling coach? I fail to understand this. What was he so famous during his carrear? How many MOM's he has won during his entire carrer? How many matches he made us win?. Why Srinaath was not considered? It gives me a feeling that Indian cricket after going through all the bad patch, still pracatices nepotism. Clearly Venkatesh is Rahul's choice.

One who can does. One who cannot teaches. Thats the reason why I think Prasad is the coach. and the second reason might be he might have accepted to come for free without charge.

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.
