Faulty team selection for the 1st Test against Sri Lanka..!

My question to Waqar Younis, Misbah ul Haq and Moin Khan is that why only 4 bowlers were selected for a 5 day Test match against Sri Lanka, particularly when even a lay man like me knows in advance, that somehow our spinners are getting rusty, day by day?

During the ongoing 1st innings of the Sri Lankan batting, the ineffectiveness of our both the spin bowlers, up till now, can be gauged by the fact that both of them (Saeed Ajmal and Abdur Rehman) are wicket less, even after bowling a total of 46 overs for 132 runs.

How can we forget those 3 bizarre no balls (most probably bowled deliberately which were never investigated by Mr. Najam Sethi and Co., for any chances of spot fixing) sent by spinner Abdur Rehman in Dhaka. And his subsequent removal by the umpire, from further bowling, as a penalty.

Isn’t it a very defensive approach to go into a Test match with only 4 bowlers?

So, what has changed with the induction of Waqar Younis, when he has not been able to change the defensive mind set of our timid captain?

Pakistan may be able to get a draw out of the match, but forget about the victory, until and unless, Sri Lankan batting goes into a dramatic batting failure. But then if wishes were horses, our team management would ride.

What has happened to both our world class spinners that they are wicket less even after bowling 40 overs in the Test match against SL.
