[VIDEO] "Pakistan ko on duty beachne wala fixer..." Sarfaraz reacts angrily to Salman Butt comments

Salman Butt criticised Sarfaraz's behaviour towards his teammates in this video.

"He (Sarfaraz) is not doing any favour for himself. He is only creating difficulties for himself, and I’m sure he won’t have any answer for that today"

"He needs to concentrate on himself; he needs to look after his own performance, as he has been travelling with the Pakistan team as a second-choice wicketkeeper in the past 1.5 years. He needs to look after his own performance and not interfere with others',"


Sarfaraz did not like it a bit....

[Rana]

Sarfaraz is a proven racist. Who is he to throw stones at others?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Well said by Sarfraz. It's disgusting that fixers like Butt are given a platform to criticise players who may be flawed but are at the very least honest.

 

[MenInG]

Love the backdrop of the Butt video - religious but badmouthing another person - no probs.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Well said by Sarfraz. It's disgusting that fixers like Butt are given a platform to criticise players who may be flawed but are at the very least honest.

But, he didn’t say anything wrong. If another player (who wasn’t involved in fixing) said it then would you agree with it?

 

[CricketingMinds]

Yes, Salman Butt is a fixer but in this scenario he hasn't said anything wrong. On point comments by Fixer.

And Sarfaraz's poor response shows his poor leadership. A good leader should be able to handle criticism regardless of who it's coming from. The point of criticism is to take it objectively and seperate the message from the messenger.

But this is another example where it's evident that Sarfaraz is a power hungry leader or in other words a dictator... Who has no emotional intelligence on handling feedback

 

[sweep_shot]

If I were Salman Butt, I would keep a low profile and not attack anyone verbally.

Salman is always an easy target for attacking back (due to his fixing history).

 

[JaDed]

Love the backdrop of the Butt video - religious but badmouthing another person - no probs.

First thing i noticed as well and it was well placed .This is the difference between Saeed Anwar, Inzi and guys like Butt(he is never gonna change).

 

[Sirris]

1. It is rare to find an individual in a Pakistani society, who is open to taking criticism, no matter how constructive it may be. It always ends up as “but you have this and that fault, who are you to lecture me”

2. Regardless, I stand with Sarfaraz.

 

[kingusama92]

Butt was 100% right.

Many fans and former players have mentioned this about Sarfraz. We've even heard commentators mention his ridiculous on-field behavior. He's always been a hothead that talks first and thinks later.

Butt being a fixer doesn't mean his point is invalid here.

In fact, Sarfraz would have been a much better leader if he controlled his temper. The cricketing IQ is there but he has no concept of how to deliver the message to his teammates. All he ever ends up doing is throwing a tantrum, making aggressive gestures, and glaring.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

But, he didn’t say anything wrong. If another player (who wasn’t involved in fixing) said it then would you agree with it?

If the other player had good conduct with his peers then yes I would support what he said.

However, but is a massive hypocrite in this issue and has no business speaking to players in this way.

 

[Savak]

Cheapshot by Sarfaraz. He had no other logical cricketing retort to Butt's justified criticism therefore he took the easy way out

 

[krazystrong]

For once Butt is right.

 

[Zaz]

Like a poster said What would he say if the same message was being given by someone more reputable say a misbah or inzy?

Safraz needs to have a good look as to how hes conducting himself these days on and off the pitch

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Ignoring who said it, the message is actually quite right.

Sarfraz should come up with a better excuse to counter it or not respond to it at all.

If he was concentrating on improving himself and not listening to what outsiders are saying, he might have improved a bit by now.

 

[Zaz]

Sarfrazs behaviour is deteriorating fast

I cant recall him being this bad 3-4 years ago Somethings gone to his head since

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Few people dislike Sarfraz more than me but I always get a kick out of people reminding Salman Butt who he really is. As long as he is involved in cricket in any way shape or form I won't be satisfied.

Might be one of the few times I ever say this but hats go off to Sarfraz...especially because he didn't mince any words and didn't leave any mystery regarding who he was talking about lol.

 

[Saj]

An example of the opinion being fair, but Sarfaraz obviously not liking who is saying it.

Sarfaraz needs to concentrate on his own performance as a player and a captain and ensure his team does well this time after the shambles in PSL6. He shouldn't worry about the opinions of others, rather concentrate on what he should be concentrating on.

 

[Savak]

Butt has served his 5 year ban and he never got selected to play for Pakistan again. He is now retired and is working as an analyst. He has the right to call a spade a spade.

 

[hitthestump]

For once Butt is right.

You're missing the point. There is a saying that those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Butt lost all credibility for his opinions, especially negative ones, when he sold his country out along with two of the best fast bowlers we've ever produced.

Butt and other fixers should be de-platformed the same way the West has done with Trump.

 

[Babeikh]

Glass houses, stones, throwing at others etc

 

[Snowflake]

Shooting the messenger is when you confirm that you have no response and have lost the argument.

Sarfraz has zero performance and cred to respond to Butt's claims. You can tell that Sarfraz's own teammates don't respect him. Who would listen to a non-performing captain who does not but yell?

 

[Snowflake]

Butt has served his 5 year ban and he never got selected to play for Pakistan again. He is now retired and is working as an analyst. He has the right to call a spade a spade.

That is correct. You can't hold that one offense against him forever and use that to counter whatever he says.

 

[Snowflake]

If I were Salman Butt, I would keep a low profile and not attack anyone verbally.

Salman is always an easy target for attacking back (due to his fixing history).

That is no way to live. He did a crime and did the time too. He has all the right to now live however he pleases. Why live like a scaredy cat just because you slipped up once?

 

[mosh101]

As much as I despise Butt, he said nothing wrong here and I agree with him.

Sarfaraz needs to take a chill pill and calm down with these antics. He's not earning anybody's respect both on and off the field with his behavior.

The team will naturally not perform well for a captain like him. Needs to be careful as he could well be on the way out as captain of Quetta if they fail this year.

 

[Third Man]

This is a terrible reply and something very easy to say. He should've either replied to the substance of the criticism or stayed silent. Sarfaraz is clearly an immature person with a huge ego.

As far as Butt is concerned, yes he made a grave mistake but he's paid dearly for it. I for one would like to live in a society that has room for forgiveness. Besides, he's quite a good pundit.

 

[Saj]

The best response from Sarfaraz should have been - score runs, win matches, lead well and win the tournament.

At the moment, none of the above looks likely, but there's a lot of cricket still to be played. He can still turn it around if he puts his mind to it.

 

[krazystrong]

Agreed. Sure, he's a bad messenger, but the message still stands.

 

[msb314]

Butt lost all credibility for his opinions, especially negative ones, when he sold his country out along with two of the best fast bowlers we've ever produced.

Butt and other fixers should be de-platformed the same way the West has done with Trump.

That saying would only be applicable if Butt was lecturing others about spot fixing. Here he is talking about a completely different topic.

 

[topspin]

Sarfrazs behaviour is deteriorating fast

I cant recall him being this bad 3-4 years ago Somethings gone to his head since

It's because he's no longer playing for Pakistan.

He let the CT win get to his head and took his place in the side for granted. He thought he would be guaranteed a long run and be allowed to retire on his terms based on his tournament.

He never thought he would be fired as captain and lose his place at the same time.

Sarfraz only has himself to blame. After winning the CT, he stopped taking his diet, practice routines and fitness seriously.

 

[topspin]

Whatever Salman Butt's history, it doesn't invalidate the fact that Sarfraz has issues with man management skills and inability to control his temper.

His response on twitter perfectly epitomises that.

Sarfraz needs a life ban from PSL and Pakistan cricket. His mannerisms belong to Karachi street cricket.

 

[Ertugrul_Bey]

People with short memories forget Wasim Akram mc and bc curses over midfields?

There’s a whole gang out there to get Safi. Everyone has their own style of leading, leave the man alone.

To me it only shows his dedication for his team.

 

[Maher96]

Salman Butt didn't say anything wrong - but Salman Butt said it.

Should have been careful, Sarfraz Army will be going at him. He is always an easy target.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

1. Sarfaraz doesn’t contribute to the team in any way.

2. If your bowler wants to set his own field, let him. He’s the bowler, he knows what’s best for him. If the field set by the bowler isn’t working out then step in and make changes. Instead, Sarfaraz behaves like a brat.

3. He’s always pointing at others for their mistakes, but when he’s not scoring runs then he’s only going to lose the dressing room.

 

[MesonK]

I do not like Salman Butt

but ...

Sarfraz himself will always be the blackspot on Pakistani cricket selection. A guy who averages 15, 17, 23 against top teams was made leader of three formats. LOL at PCB policies.

 

[PakLFC]

Salman is right here. Sarfaraz seems to be going the same way as Kamran Akmal after such a good start. With Salman Butt the cricketer it will always be a case of what could have been.

 

[MesonK]

Sarfaraz is

... mediocre player with bad batting averages (he averages less than kamran akmal against top teams
... not very bright or presentable, chowka pan masala dance
... has terrible onfield attitude

how was this guy made captain of the national side? and leads a privately owned franchise? are we as a nation deprived of common sense?

 

[volcyz]

Well said Salman Butt

Sarfraz is not the brightest crayon in the pack.

Village cricketer mentality

 

[moghul]

I agree with Butt, he is giving a technical opinion on Sarfraz's shortcomings , which he is qualified to. There was no reason for Sarfraz to get personal, but knowing Sarfraz, I didn't expect anything decent from him.

 

[CricketingMinds]

Salman Butt criticised Sarfaraz's behaviour towards his teammates in this video.

Mr Sarfaraz can only force others to do sajdas to gain brownie points of public (not the Almighty), but he cannot exhibit patience when the Almighty has said repeatedly in Quran to exercise patience when in trouble or being criticized.

Sarfaraz stooping to the lowest of the lowest levels to prove others wrong. A sensible, patient, pious man in this situation would singularly focus on improving himself, his performance and leadership.
But Sarfu's mind is focused on a nobody fixer and how to respond to him. Pathetic leader.

 

[Oneking]

I think some posters needs to listen to Butt carefully, he is straight forward calling Sarfraz dictator. If there’s any issue regarding Sarfraz then it’s managements job to address them, random pundits shouldn’t take direct hits at other players either. Butt could have change his tone and his words too. Sarfraz as a captain is responsible for his team, and as former captain achieved a lot more then Butt have.
Have you ever heard any other country’s player criticizing the ex captain of their team on national tv.
Yes Sarfraz is mediocre, but Butt could have used a different tone he single handed blamed Sarfraz for everything and flat out called him a dictator

 

[DRsohail]

Salman Butt did not say anything wrong.

 

[Kaddy]

Though he is a good analyst of the game but problem for Salman Butt is, that infamous 2010 match fixing saga will always haunt him.

I remember recently when passed some comments on Michael Vaughan statement, Vaughan also didn't quite like it and reminded him about his involvement in match fixing.

People will only resort to these cheapshots when they have nothing logical to offer in response to the cricketing critique. Salman has served him time and his cricketing career ended as a result but legally he is no longer a criminal anymore and now has a clean slate and has the right to lead a normal life and to do his job as a cricket analyst

 

[Sherlock]

Was the message stated by a known fixer correct? Yes.

Do I think the known fixer should be given airtime or critique someone else's attitude? No!

Also regarding the post if someone else said it would the message be better off - well yeah. That's the point of the whole subject. It's the person starting it.

I couldn't give two craps about Butt, and having a camera to spread your statements just shows how quickly some people in the media just let these people talk about the sport they've disgraced and shamed.

 

[asadee]

Those supporting Butt here clearly have an ethnic agenda here. Quite saddening indeed

 

[Shafi]

Some people treating Sarfraz as more than a prophet. Salman Butt is a shrewd character, no doubt about that but Sarfraz has severe attitude problem He was racist with S African black players and got away without punishment. Plus this guy is a compulsive abuser without looking at his own fault. I didn't expect such a poor behavior from a Quran e Hafiz person.

He is supported by a certain small faction of journalists from karachi who have political backups. Sarfraz Ahmed's fans mostly do not support him for cricket, most do not even know anything about cricket (won't understand his tailender averages) or watch cricket. They support him for ethno-political reasons, as one of my colleagues said ... "Kitni ziadti kardi humare saath, babar azam ko captain bandiya jabke Sarfraz better player hai" ROFL. Sarfraz being not a bright person, has gone delusional because of this support, he tweets sarcastically upon being dropped, attacks whoever he wants on tweeter (Hafeez incident). He thinks he is being wronged by not being prefered over someone who averages 50+.

What is ugly in this whole thing is that these are our countrymen doing it. Sarfraz for all his faults is a Pakistani people and deep inside I as a fan know he is a patriotic man who wants to serve his country with whatever super limited abilities he has been blessed with. People abuse each other on tweeter because of this tailender level batsman.

 

[Zaz]

What ethnic agenda? Being a british poster i couldnt give a damn which ethnic group sarfy or any player is from

We look at performance and attitude

You dont think sarfraz has a severe attitude problem and how he behaves on the field is an issue?

 

[Saj]

Those supporting Butt here clearly have an ethnic agenda here. Quite saddening indeed

Nonsense.

That has nothing to do with it.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Salman Butt was a fixer and people don't like him. But that shouldn't take away the fact that Sarfraz has brought the criticism on himself and if he's not being challenged hard right now. Sooner or later he might have to answer for his actions on field on way or another.

 

[Rana]

I don’t get it, Sarfaraz’s only relevance is based on the fact that he won a champion’s trophy on the back of an ‘on duty fixer’.

Surely he should have thought twice before making such a harsh attack on Salman Butt?

 

[mazkhan]

Salman butt served his time and payed the ultimate punishment with his career.

So he has every right to give his opinion as analyst and compared to sarfraz he was a much better player.

Butt could have developed into a class captain but threw it away, he was also one of our best openers In particular against pace his hundreds against Australia and India will always be remembered , sarfraz could never play those sort of innings .

 

[IMMY69]

Safaraz's antics on the field are cringe worthy.
I have to shut my eyes when the camera's close in on him when there is a misfield or the bowler bowls a bad bowl..

Having said that, and yes Butt has a right to say whatever he wants, I wouldn't take anything he says seriously. Safaraz's actions are not illegal, yes they may be difficult to watch but he isn't throwing a game or spot fixing. Butt committed the ultimate crime in Cricket and deserves whatever criticism he gets.
This is probably the only time the saying "shoot the messenger, and not the message" doesn't apply.

 

[IMMY69]

We won because of Fakhar Zaman in the final and Hassan Ali in the tournament as a whole.

I know you enjoy backing fixers but Amir deserves the least credit for the victory. Anyway, Sarfraz wasn't criticising Butt's cricketing ability so I don't know why you are taking that angle.

Butt criticised Sarfraz onfield conduct and Safraz has responded in a similar vein.

All righteous Pakistanis should stand with Sarfraz in this issue.

You could also argue that if it wasn't for Safraz's innings against Sri Lanka we wouldn't have even made it to the Semi Final.
Also, Amir didn't even play against England in the semi and it was the collective efforts of ur bowling unit that restricted England to the low total.

 

[Rana]

Weird logic,

Good player= acceptable/tolerable fixer

Average player=unacceptable fixer

Sarfaraz wore the white champion’s trophy coat that day because Amir broke the spine of Indian batting on a flat, placid track

 

[IMMY69]

Weird logic,

Good player= acceptable/tolerable fixer

Average player=unacceptable fixer

Sarfaraz wore the white champion’s trophy coat that day because Amir broke the spine of Indian batting on a flat, placid track

It would also have been a record chase in a final.
Yes Amir delivered but he was not the sole reason for us wining that trophy.

Safraz's innings against Sri Lanka, Hasan Ali's bowling through out the tournament, Fakhar's brilliant knocks and others contributing at the right time is what won us that Tournament.

Regarding the fixer issue, it is universally accepted, including by many cricket pundits, that as the captain of the team he was the ring leader whereas Amir was a young player who only made his debut 12 months earlier (2009 T20 World Cup).

Comparing Butt to Amir is like comparing apples to oranges

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The weird logic is bringing it cricketing ability.

If Sarfraz had said that Butt was a fixer who averaged next to nothing and shouldn't be commenting on him then you would have a point.

Safraz is directly saying that a person with Butt's background shouldn't be commenting on his "niyat". i.e he is saying because of Butt poor character, he should refrain from commenting on the character of others.

Quite simple. No need to bring cricketing ability or other players into it.

[Cricfan4eva]

How is a captain who sold your country and destroyed 2 fast bowlers along the way given a platform and is actually listened to by fans?

Whether or not his point is valid is irrelevant. He should be the last person talking about Pakistani cricket as an "expert".

Man has played for Pakistan and has good knowledge of Cricket. His knowledge is valued by TV channels and sports reporters who invite him. He has every right to earn a living. He already received a far greater punishment than he got and deserved. You are not a criminal forever.

I am not a Sarfaraz supporter by any stretch and think he shouldn't be anywhere near the national team now but i see different set of rules here for different players. If Butt was attacking another player people would be all over him but when its Sarfaraz he is being given a green chit. Very disappointing

And seems Salman Butt has responded...kinda...

Meanwhile, Butt didn’t make any direct remarks, he dropped a subtle response, saying he doesn’t intend to ignite the matter further.

“You’ve come to the wrong shop. You won’t get the stuff you want from this place. There already are a lot of shops here where people keep shouting like bus conductors, so you might as well go there,” Butt said on his YouTube channel as the viewers were demanding to speak up on the tweet Sarfaraz did for him.

 

[MesonK]

Those supporting Butt here clearly have an ethnic agenda here. Quite saddening indeed

You are supporting Sarfraz for your own ethnic agenda. Sarfraz has a tailender-like batting record against strong teams yet he behaves like he is Gilchrist reborn.

And he did not win us CT single-handedly, he did not even take part in the win itself, it was Hasan Ali (Man of the tournament), Amir (Destroyer of Indian top order), Fakhar (Highest run-getter from Pak) who shined in the whole tournament. By no. of runs scored Sarfraz Ahmed ranked 5 in the Pakistani team itself behind Fakhar, Azhar, Hafeez, Babar. Only match he actually did something was against SL, other than that he did nothing in the whole tournament so stop with this "Sarfraz won CT17".

Sarfaraz represent his country honestly n with pride...Now give one single counter reason to defend Fixer Butt

 

[mosh101]

Didnt dare say anything to Afridi today.

 

[krazystrong]

So much hypocrisy from those who still blast Butt but happily took Amir back into the team.

 

[Saj]

Sad really that 2 former Pakistan captains are in the spotlight due to this episode.

The harsh reality is that whether people like it or not, Salman Butt is within his rights to speak about cricket, nobody can stop him. The way to respond to the criticism is to perform!

 

[MenInG]

Sarfaraz Ahmed's situation is pretty dire at the moment - constant criticism of his captaincy, team losing players, not winning games....

 

[Rana]

Sarfaraz represent his country honestly n with pride...Now give one single counter reason to defend Fixer Butt

Sarfaraz represented his country with the help of a proven fixer too until 2019 wc. He would have done the same with Salman Butt had he been at Quinton DeKock’s level before he was banned.

You can’t use one fixer and act honourable by character assassinating another

 

[Ryw]

Problem with Sarfraz is that he pressurised his own bowlers and fielders by shouting, nobody likes. This is the main reason for team losing matches.

 

[MesonK]

Sarfaraz represent his country honestly n with pride...Now give one single counter reason to defend Fixer Butt

I care zero what butt is. He is irrelevant here. What is relevant is the fact that sarfraz is a mediocre player with tailender like batting averages against top team but still is surviving because of ethno political support from few journalists. His presence in the squad is blocking younger keepers from development, the same way his elongated unjustful run as captain blocked Rizwan from starting his career earlier, the guy who averages 50+ and is icc player of the year, something sarfraz can not even dream of. Based on actual performance (deep stats) sarfraz should have not been given central contract since 2019.

 

[zarak]

People with short memories forget Wasim Akram mc and bc curses over midfields?

There’s a whole gang out there to get Safi. Everyone has their own style of leading, leave the man alone.

To me it only shows his dedication for his team.

You mean the same Wasim Akram with 500 odi wickets and 400 Test wickets with a sub 24 average.

The same guy who single handedly won matches. The same guy who was the most talented cricketer in our history.

You are comparing him to Sarfraz. When you are an elite performer you can call your players what you want because you walk the walk.

Softie Sarfraz needs to bat better and earn the right to lecture his team.

 

[Ahmad-GERMANFC]

Well done Sarfaraz.

Butt is a disgusting being and it is disappointing he has a platform

Sarfaraz's right shoe has more legacy in cricket than Salman Butt's career

 

[Ahmad-GERMANFC]

Lol at people saying don’t shoot the messenger.

Of course the personality and honesty of the messenger should be looked at lmao…

What next? Drunkards and rapists will be Imams and we are gonna listen to their sermons cuz ‘don’t shoot the messenger’?
