Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010

If third run is available why not?

The captain Mohammad Yousuf went hard for a third, which was refused by an overly casual Butt,

its useless to talk on this now....the bottom line is that Pak has lost this match may be match will finish 2morrow as 90 overs is enough for aus to get out 16 wickets

^ My only point is if Butt is involved disaster follows. No if's or butts (pun intended)

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010

Yoyo has the gaul to question Butt's interests - self or country. What a bad thing for a captain to say. Even if he believes that's the case you should not be publicly saying it and if you really believe then why pick such a player in the team? Yoyo sucks. He has been run out many many times before and also ran his partners out too. Did anyone question his patriotism?

Shame on you Yoyo....don't play the victim card rather take the blame for your moronic and insane captaincy. Sure it was forced upon you but it's also a fact that you always wanted it and got pissed when others were given over you. You may be a good batsman but nothing more.

ALLAH ka shuker hai I didnt watch it... would have been more painful to watch, then to read about the run out dabacle.

Brilliant we should stick we these two mediocres. If we are going to go by your stats than tell me why do you think Butt is better than Farhat. Farhat's average is better than butt's.

ok than if u think these two r mediocres than who should replace them khurram,nasir jamshed,
hahahah

i was talking about overall average not in these two tours

Well you are focusing on this tour and showing the brilliant averages of these two than surely Farhat is better than Butt based on these stats. Why say Butt is better than Farhat.

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010

ehsan pai...bachche ki jaan mat lo!

farhat always throws his wicket away easily while butt does not..........farhat is parchi everyone knows .....why comparing only these two tours average why not overall

:D Aap nay kaha aur hum nay sunn liya.

BTW are you going to be back in Birmingham any time soon?

I have moved on from the company which had a birmingham client...nowadays my trips are usually to the US. Should have met you that time itself!

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010

Aussies lost 3 wickets in one day, Pakistan lost 4 wickets in a session. Man, they are pathetic.

bhai sahib, we shouldn't be happy with opening partnership of 50 for Test matches.

Completely agree with you, looks like this team is about to fall apart pretty soon. First it was Kamran giving out statements against PCB/management, now Yoyo criticising his own player, tomorrow someone else will be criticised. It doesn't look like we have 'one-unit' there. Captain is supposed to support his players instead of giving such statements out in the public.

When Inzi used to get run out people used to call him slow runner but even in those days it was actually Yousuf who was involved in more run outs than Inzi.

Its pathetic that two of our batsmen are run-out in a test match (one inning).

Yousuf has always been a terrible runner between the wickets. Inzi at least used to get himself out but Yousuf on top of getting himself out can easily run his partner out as well.

It is laughable when Yousuf blames someone else for poor running. It is understandable that he was not impressed by Butt's running but giving statements about other person's running is just absurd especially when you are a captain. What a poor show of captaincy by Yousuf.

wakeup.. i would rather see pakistan loosing then these two scoring centuries and staying in the side...

Ehsan bhai you’re missing a great match. Australia were all out for 231. Pakistan are 378/3 currently. Umar Akmal is batting at 193 and Yousaf at 107.
