Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Mohammad Yousuf slams Salman Butt’s running
.
Had Pakistan not turned up for this series, Australia might have had a tougher time winning it. The tourists’ generosity has scarred this contest through three Tests. More catches have already been dropped than there are seagulls in Hobart; this afternoon, just as Australia were beginning to understand the toil required to break through on this surface, came two more gifts, borne of an ineptitude that was laughable and horrific.
.
First went the skipper, Mohammad Yousuf, who was attempting a legitimate third only to realize too late that Salman Butt wasn’t even moving. Soon after, Umar Akmal happened upon the same realization, that Butt wasn’t running for a tight but gettable single, as the day closed. The two best Pakistani batsmen gone in a trice and a miserable second day for Pakistan complete; saving this Test now will be as much as a win.
.
The blame, Yousuf was surprisingly candid later, lay fully with Butt. So candid that he even had a pop, with a tired smile, at Butt’s priorities.
