are both primarily composed around a couple of unquestionable young talents (then Kapil, now Yuvi) but mostly a collection of non-superstars who have no reputations to lose and can play out of their skins as a team (then Amarnath, Binny, Madan Lal now almost everyone) .

Except Dhoni and Yuvraj - none of the others could take their spots for granted in the regular team. (and not even Yuvi in tests). All the other internationals are either trying to make a comeback (Sehwag, Harbhajan, Pathan) or seem on the fringe (RP, Uthappa, Sreesanth, Gambhir) or worse (Rohit, Joginder).

Ganguly and Zaheer now both in their second acts, are also examples of non-superstardom. Amazing what a bit of hunger can do. Perhaps giving Yuvi the Porsche was exactly the wrong thing to do.
