I believe focus shd be on technique at a young age. I find it hard to believe India's best young talent is Yuvraj, who has been around for years and still struggles to find his feet on Australian pitches. @Sreeram I don't think Capello won the World Cup. He has only won the Champions League, when his Milan side beat the famed Barca dream team 4-0 in 1994. @Prashanth

Capello was a WC winner whereas Kirsten for all his ability passed off as opening batsman of Choker's 11. Plus like you mentioned he has no coaching experience. I still believe the BCCI should have handled Greg Chappell in a better way. He was made a scapegoat to cover up for the failure of senior players who conveniently said they were intimidated by Greg Chappell's approach.Likewise, English football is also finding a scapegoat for their inability to compete with mean machine imports from around the globe and blame it on absence of quota. Definitely not the situation for Capello to pick his 11 from. But for the experienced campaigner, he will find his loyal servants and will drill the bets out of them.

The NCA is in a shambles unless Whatmore does his magic and the English have forever been building that training school in Burton! Also, there is no structure to spot and coach young talent!
