Get your facts right buddy.. Robin was not sidelined when Vishy was there,and here are the records.
Total first class match played 37, 2 centuries. He did not play enough first class matches for even TN
Sharath - This is what Cricinfo had to say about him.
Despite being one of the most consistent performers on the domestic circuit, Sridharan Sharath couldn't step up to the international stage. He was unlucky that his prime coincided with a period when India's middle order - with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman - was packed with immense talent. Sharath didn't possess an immaculate technique, was disproportionately built - with clumps jutting out at the waist - and made batting look like hard work. In many ways he was Indian domestic cricket's Arjuna Ranatunga - the man for a crisis, the cool head under pressure, the hardworking artisan in a side packed with artists. For 15 seasons since 1992, he had amassed 8390 runs at an average close to 52. He became the only Tamil Nadu player to play 100 Ranji Trophy games and celebrated the moment with a century against Saurashtra in December 2007. He announced his retirement a month later.
Around the time Vishy was the chariman, Karnataka had won 3 Ranji finals in 4 years. So can you ignore a players from a champion team? or just not select them b'cos the world things he is biased? Anyways, those that do not perform will not stay long.
1998-99 Karnataka Madhya Pradesh Statistics 1997-98 Karnataka Uttar Pradesh Statistics 1996-97 Mumbai Delhi Statistics 1995-96 Karnataka Tamil Nadu
Keep your regionalism out and think of the nation.

Whether all Ranji winning teams should have "x" number of players is not my point. I do not follow mumbai cricket. If there are good players who can play for India and have been ignored then it is right for them to knock on the door. How many mumbai players we have in the team now, I can count 3 Sachin, Agarkar, Zaheer

Yes Girish is right, remember when Vishy was the chairman we had Azhar as the captain. So captain agreed for that , players are selected only when captian and selection committee agrees.
