Well i think since he signed up with the ICL, he went out of favour. ( What happened to the ICL)

India have all time greats like Kapil and SG, Bedi etc, these guys should be utilised. But i think 20/20 will kill off test match batsmanship at the least and it requires a different skill set.

The pitches in india dont help fast bowlers either, but why is it that Pakistan can produce fast bowlers but not many great batsman, (the opposite of India if you like)

it is an interesting question.
The pitches in domestic cricket in India and Pakistan have green tinges on them. In Test matches that green tinge disappears. If you look at Indian domestic stats, plenty of seamers top the wicket charts!

ICL went bust mate. Kapil only went to ICL due BCCI not utilising him. Bedi and Gavaskar are used sparingly.

If sehwag had hung around a bit longer i think India might have given the target a go
Might sound sour grapes, but Morkel's foot was over the line. Pollock was surprised on comm it was given out

It was checked but without the zoomer they used for Prior's dismissal.

He was given a 5 year ban for match fixing

When they showed it in slow-mo, it seemed like it was in the air on the line. 3rd umpire had one look and gave it out
