"I have been the best One-Day player this year" : Salman Butt

[MenInG]

Salman Butt speaking to the media :



"I would like to update you all that this year I have been the best OD player as I have most runs in the past few matches"

"Whenever PCB selectors feel that I am good enough for the national team, I will also perform there"

"Credit to the groundsman because everywhere in the world except in Dubai, games are high scoring as pitches are like these"

"When Pakistan players play on such pitches where their is even bounce and the ball comes nicely, then batsman's strokes will be enhanced and bowlers skills will be developed"

"We play a high-percentage of our cricket in UAE where tracks are slow, assist spin and the ball comes on low and strokes cannot be played with ease"

"The moment the PSL games came to Pakistan the matches became high-scoring"

"This side won the Champions Trophy in England in 2017 and more or less this was the same players"

"All the best to the players and there is nothing better for a player than to win the World Cup for his country"

"We will have to repeat the Champions Trophy final performance again [against India in the World Cup]"

"Along with Fakhar Zaman, whoever the opener is - somebody will have to get the runs"

"If you score well against India and the team backs each other up, only then will you win"

"Both India and Pakistan are top sides, both will have to play really well to win"

Please stop, Butt. I can only laugh this much.

 

[MenInG]

Please stop, Butt. I can only laugh this much.

Speaks with a lot of authority Salman.

 

[Bewal Express]

You could play like Don Bradman but you ain't coming back.

 

[Stewie]

I didn’t find anything laughable in what he said.. now is he rooting his own horn a little, sure.. but nothing false or incorrect in his statement

 

[fluke]

seen first time someone praising himself continuously for nothing. his time is over and he himself knows that

 

[Hasan123]

For all those talking about selfishness, this is the statements of a selfish person.

Could never imagine an Australian or South African player making such statements.

 

[Abdullah719]

Ok.

 

[Markhor]

"I would like to update you all that this year I have been the best OD player as I have most runs in the past few matches"

Thanks for the "update".

 

[Stewie]

Butt should give up on his international comeback dreams and stop embarrassing himself. He is doing well in domestic, no doubt but he sealed his fate by cheating and then lying about cheating non stop for years.

 

[pakistani pride]

What are the stats for mister selfish?

 

[Khan12]

With strike rate which would have been useless even in the 80s.

 

[gazza619]

Has he been really?

Next!

 

[coy0607]

Speaks with a lot of authority Salman.

speaks like he's the king of the Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

He should not represent the country again , what he did was criminal .

There is no reason you should under perform , after all you are betraying the country. PCB should have made same rules for all , no matter how good a player is NO one is bigger than the game.

Butt younis & Malik made careers out of hammering India so he can speak,

The players these days look already beaten before theyv even got into the ground facing Ind (asia cup)..

Agree on Malik and Younis but when did Butt perform consistently against India? All I can remember is a century he made in a losing cause in 2007 and a test hundred in a drawn test in 2006.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

lol keep trying, does he really think Inzi would let him play))

 

[IAJ]

Firstly, your international career is over.

Secondly, the last thing our selectors watch are performances in domestic cricket, so you are not getting selected either way.

Salman butt 101 v ind & jamshedpur
inzaman & butt sink India
Butts maiden 100 v ind
But 108* v ind

Headlines picked up on the net.Got some test runs as well them were the days when ind bowling was pathetic though!!

 

[Abdullah719]

Out for 4 today.

 

[Abdullah719]

2 off 11 balls in the final.

 

[PakLFC]

Congrats to Butt for doing so well. That said he's no chance of being in the WC squad at all. He made his bed a long time back. Only unfair thing is how he and Asif have been treated compared to golden boy, Amir. We don't need Butt anymore when there is Shan Masood scoring ton after ton

 

[MenInG]

And wins the Pakistan Cup....

 

[adil_909]

Be thankful PCB is letting you play domestic and earn a living. That's all you're entitled to after what you did and instead of being grateful he's still talking nonsense.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This guy has no shame.
