Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
Umar's runout was Butt's fault, but Yousaf's runout... Yousaf is to blame, at least partially. Butt had clearly said "No" after completing the second run, but Yousaf still ran for the third. There was no forceful communication from him to make Butt take the third run. Granted, the third run could've been easily made, but once Yousaf knew Butt had initially declined it, he should've erred on the side of caution and avoided the run.

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.

Re: Pakistan vs Australia, 3rd Test, Hobart Jan 14-18, 2010
The captain Mohammad Yousuf went hard for a third, which was refused by an overly casual Butt, and turned back to be caught short for 7. Yousuf stood by the pitch glowering at Butt before walking off and Pakistan's frustrations continued when Butt and Umar Akmal took off for a single, Butt stopped far too late, and Umar was run-out after his about-face. It was all the more disappointing after Butt and Imran Farhat reached 63 without loss.
Wherever and Whenever Butt will be involved, Pakistan will face disaster.
