1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

Salman Butts statment today is height of insecurity and laughable, coming from a guy who can only dream about the class these two guys have.

but those guys were able to win games for the team, guide other team members, play around tailenders and what not.

No doubt Younis and Younis were class apart from Butt in cricket, but they ruined their image by getting involved in petty stuff, by being drama queen etc.

what did salman said

So have Yousuf and Younis. Lets not forget their contribution to our success due to their other activities.

Like Tableegh? :konfused:

:smiley:

were you against the inclusion of Zaheer, Imran, Wasim ,WAqar etc too ? As far as I know all of these were involved in wonderful politics....

^ but they took the team to victory many a times, how many times did Yousuf ?

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

We need Younis Khan, who can save us in 4th innings. Younis Khan has average of over 50 in 4th innings with 3 centuries and 3 fifties.

In recent times, Younis saved the Lahore test against South Africa, saved the Kolkatta Test against India, won the match against Srilanka(2006) and South Africa(2007).

Can anyone show me such kind of match savings or match winning performances from Yousuf?

I think yousuf played well in many first/2nd innings so pakistan was not in bad shape in the fourth inning.

Argument apart I think their inclusion will cause further problems.

Why don't they show to our batsmen the videos of test matches Pakistan played in England in 80s?

...because sportsmen are forward looking people. What happened in the 80's will stay in the 80s.
