Mohammed Yousuf blasts team-mate Salman Butt

PAKISTAN captain Mohammad Yousuf branded team-mate Salman Butt "selfish" after being run out by the opener to leave the tourists floundering at the end of day two of the third Test against Australia. Butt not only ran out his captain in the last half-hour of play but then incredibly compounded his error by doing the same shortly after to his team's next-best batsman in Umar Akmal.

The two costly run-outs left Pakistan in tatters at 94 for four in reply to Australia's massive first-innings total of 519 for eight declared and still needing another 226 runs to avoid the follow-on.

Yousuf said: "We are not playing for self, we are playing for country. I am 35 years old, he (Butt] is 25 years old, why not take three runs?"
