well i think thats not the case some of seniors are consistently failing and they dont wanna sit and take rest may be so that jrs can show their abilities. One of which Azhar Ali did. There is simply no reason not to play Razzaq and Hammad Azam both should be in the playing 11. Also batting has been failing consistently we need to find better players. Umar Akmal is not a true replacement of Inzi or Yousuf so we need to keep looking for better optioins.

Pathetic performance! Pakistani batsmen never learn from their mistakes. Our batsmen are just pathetic. Whenever the bowling doesn't work, the team loses. When the bowling work, the team wins.
Please get rid of Younis Khan. He is just a burden on the team. His average is just in the early 30's.Instead bring in Asad Shafiq, who has been quite consistent. What was the point of playing Rahat when Sami was performing well?

I don't think it is a right approach of start condemning the players after one defeat.If that was a right thing to do then Sangakara, jaivardhanay,sehwag ,Gambhir should have long been gone from their teams.I don't understand why Cricket in India and Pakistan is played like a war instead of a sports ? When ever pakistan players failed to perform in a game the people who some time have no knowledge the sports want to hang their captain or some other scapegoat for a loss.. I think if failure in a match was a criteria for keeping in a team then A. Ali should not be in the team and I think it would have been a big mistake and Pakistan would have been big injustice to the youngster who is a terrific opner and a great find for pakistan.

i agree, younus performance is very poor he should be replaced by an allroundrer. Surprizinglly, why Sami was replced when he bowled so well with less runs given. Selectors should use common sense and their head instead of favortism.Hope selectors will learn from their mistakes. But what good these comments/suggestions will do when merit is not the first choice of selectors
