One month ago Inzi’s superb century won us the match and series against BD. Today against SA only one player from that team is playing. This is rebuilding gone mad. Unbelievable. OK Inzi is injured and Rashid taking a break, but this is amazing.!!!
have our selectors finally lost it.

Well it does look weird but Sami and Shoaib weren't available either in that series, we've been juggling quite a few of the new guys since.

Look at the batting since it was more of batting which was struggling against BD, we are in only with 2 Experienced bats, unless you count Taufeeq as experienced as well still that'll make it 3.

Gaining a test cap should be an honor for a player and one has to fight for it, Pakistan has probably given out dozens of test caps in the past 3 tests.
This shows the nature of our selectors, they have completely ruined this so called rebuilding process.
What has Salman Butt done wrong to lose his place in the team and what did Imran Farhat and Asim Akmal to do gain their place in the team.
The ‘rebuilding’ is a spin on the shortcomings of PCB … rebuilding for what ?? like so many Pak great crickters (Imran, Zaheer, Intikhab) have questioned .. what are we rebuilding for ??? future ? do we ever play for the present! And if there is any rebuilding going on .. what exactly is the process? It is either too complicated and well thought or it is simply stupid .. and I reckon that PCB buffoons are implementing the brilliant ‘simply stupid’ plan … it is a hit or miss process rather than any solid well though plan … if they do great than take the credit if they flop blame it on the coach or any other non-PCB causes !
When the going gets bad might as well throw the bums out and get the new blood in. How much worse can it get? I wish they'd adopt that philosophy to Indian bowling and some of the state govts too
what you fail to mention ehsan bhai is that pakistan already won that series so they decided to give lot of the seniors rest. no other reasons. in addition to that, sami was out with injuries and shoaib was in london. rashid bhai wanted to take rest so that is why he is not playing right now. I hope you can see how those names that you gave can be very deceiving. the likes of shabbir ahmed was just fill in for the players who were either hurt, or in london, or decided to take rest.
Ehsan Bhai...Good point...But I think all of this should be blamed to the one and only Aamir Sohail. Although some changes were neccessary, like Hafeez should have been dropped, and was rightly done so, and the same with Younis Khan. Sami was injured and Shoaib wasn't availible cuz of his contract in England, and also right now Rashid has decided to take a break and Inzamam is injured :(
