Talk About Modesty...

by Bored Member

By Q

“I’ve been Pakistan’s best batsman in recent times. My records show that. I can still give my best for two, three more years. And I don’t think there is anybody good enough to replace me (in the team),”

“It’s Pakistan which will suffer without me"

Mohammad Yousuf speaks out.

Ah... finally from the horse's mouth.

The most amusing part was his take on playing for pakistan any time they wanted him to do so.

Hello? He was picked for Abu-dhabi and he packs his bags to India... Must be a visa mistake and not the million.

Famous last words? :)

This is the first time i heard abt the million dollars.. I thought it was much less..

Scorps I know I argued about him on your blog.. I think slowly I have to take a lot of it back.. This is a new side of Yousuf that is being shown in public.

He has never been this vocal. I guess he knows his days with Pakistan are over.

MoYo certainly doesn't suffer from false modesty, however, he could have been humble while stating facts. print medium doesn't always convey what is seen, heard and sensed firsthand.

He should not say that. He will suffer for not playing for Pakistan. If country need you then you too need country.

I think its case by ICL which made Yousuf to Join ICL. Even I believe call from his friends from ICL could also be reason.

Other reasons are crap as IPL is offering Millions then why he should go for ICL.

I believe its Lalit Modi behind everything happening wrong in cricket.

Q, It was not necessarily about the millions that was a worry, but more specifically it had reached a point where he thought he was bigger than Pakistan... It was evident from his actions and his ways of bringing people to the bargaining table to pacify his hurt ego.

The real point is ICL recognized or not, he will continue to throw his tantrums in some way or the other putting Pakistani cricket under his ransom.

Warm welcome Indiabol to the BCC!... hope to see more of you here... I fail to understand though how Lalit Modi is to be blamed.

Everybody except Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar are replaceable mortals in cricket world....

Who is MoYo to say this huge things about himself ? Did Pak really miss him in WI series :)

Money is making MoYO speak in whatever way he is.......

And IndiaBol, how is Modi related to defection of Yousuf to ICL ? Poor Modi, he didnt even file a legal suit to prevent him from ICL :(

It was expected of him to say all this the attacks on PCB and Shoaib Malik started when he was still in ICL, how can he say that if they had asked him to come to AbuDhabi he would have come, he was selected in the team, Malik never misbehaved with any senior, this is all BS.

He made a shit load of money now he wants to exploit Public support by making such statements to make a come back in the team and he has picked the easiest target in the team Malik.

Even he makes a come back his relations with Malik has gone sour forever.

wasim...do you still fancy him coming to team? :)

I would never want him to play for Pakistan again but the problem is that we don't have anybody half as good as him on the bench, it will be hard to let him go.
