Younis never gets respect!

It is this temperament problem which has held him back from bieng recognised as a Great Player despite his excellence of cricketing skills. No ioe is to be blamed but himself. Feel sorry for him

When the fabric of society is rotten to the core these kind of substandard things would be seen every where.

Rule is Rule.

Substandard Umpiring!!!

Here player is bigger than d game. To get respect you should respect others.

So much drama in Pakistan over everything

He is now losing it too. What happened to all the level headed cricketers in Pakistan, I guess besides Misbah, none exists.

Younis Khan's act is highly regrettable and unbecoming of sports man .Being senior most cricketer in the tournament he should have acted sensibly and with responsibility.No matter how serious his reservations were against umpiring;he should have followed right course of action.this augars bad for cricket in general and Pakistan in particular.It was not expected from a player of younus kana status and calibre who is re model for juniors.having said that it's also very shocking surprise he behaved in this manner which is totally out of his character.It surly one forces to raise eye brow . The substandard umpiring has been regular feature in domestic cricket the incident is nothing but honest and real sum up of Pakistan cricket.This situation will continue to persist so lond as PCB is Ron by incompetent people from top to bottom.time for accountability please. But who will do.its chief pattern ?

Very poor by Younis. For a great cricket player, etiquette, grace and ego seems bigger. No one is above the game and he is a sportspersons who gets paid,

He's not among the lot of humble ones like Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Sangakkara, Mahela.

Who calls him humble?

Younis, what did you expect in a country where one of the most corrupts rule the country and PM does not accept his responsibility. Why would low level umpires do things differently. They could fine someone who raises voice against injustice.

extremely intolerant.. must behave like a senior

Bad sportsmanship.

Before commenting would like to know the details...

I never understood his hype. What's his ego and emotions about? The guy is just another decent test player on flat pitches and mediocre one day and below par T20 player on any pitch.

Substandard attitude... . .

If Youns raises question aganist standard of empirjng then surely the standard is believed to be substandard and y wouldn't any one questkon if something wrong is going on.... If there is any truth in his accusations then PCB please sack the empires now otherwise tomarrow they will come to international stage and defame the nation!

He won us the world cup... we need to learn to respect our "TRUE" legends

Shah correctly quoted "When the fabric of society is rotten to the core these kind of substandard things would be seen every where". It is absolutely true.

The tolerance of Pakistanis on this is appalling, back ur player as ask PCB to raise standard rather than cursing the player raising a voice. 100% match fee fine for what crime? Calling spade a spade? In one match he was told by umpire misbah cant be given out early!! Jeez

He should have respected a Pakistani cup more than anything else for development of the game and young players. He has played under world class umpires for decades so what if there r issues with a local tournament-foolish!!!

system can not be changed those who speak truth face this....stand with younus khan,shame management.

Younis is an honest man of dignity and such people don't take any nonsense.

This is not the right attitude,no doubt you are a star but you are not bigger than cricket itself and must follow the code of conduct. Can you imagine doing this playing international matches?

No matter how great player you are..you should respect the cricket even at domestic level. Being a senior player you have a greater responsibility to set the example for your juniors

I support Younis. If umpiring is substandard, can not he express his views?

@Shoaib hussain So you want him to toe the line? Dude you should be proud that he is raising voice,at 38 he could have become 'Yes sir ! man' for Some puny job or function at PCB Raising your voice against some thing substandard is not indiscipline or ego. I find him amazing to raise this issue rather take it down the throat and say 'chalta hai!! 'Iam making match fee money so forget game standard.

Now he can watch IPL peacefully at home. Good excuse

If he was in another country he wouldn't have had the nerve to have a confrontation with the umpire. The umpire's decision is final. Like it or not

Here we again! Younis Khan's ego and self rightness comes to the fore again. If he had any reservations over umpiring then he should have written in Captain's report. He has become an embarrassment and the best thing for all concerned is that he should retire from cricket altogether. Umpires like all human beings make mistakes, just like Younis has done over years in all sort of manners. What I regret is that he has set a bad example for younger players who would now follow his ill steps. What a way to go.

Apparently he has quit because after an unsuccessful appeal against Misbah during the match, the umpire told him that he is not allowed to give a player as big as Misbah out this early.

@DT and when Kohli does it and gets fined 50% match fee, its fine.

@Rational only 5/31 test centuries are outside sub continent including 1 in ZIM. Thats best test player for PAK.

Should learn something from Tendulkar, Dravid the true sportsman legends of the game.

He thinks too much of himself , rates himself above the game............

@Skkk Yes. No one speak out against wrong doings. Let the PM and PCB alone. It's this type of mentality that is harming more than anything else!

Just an average player who gets runs only on dust bowls of UAE.

The cricketers or politicians in Pakistan has this problems. Younis should be sacked.

Clear case of lack of education that teaches you to behave.

I am sure it must be something terrible but one should protest via proper route. Being a domestic tournament , PCB could take disciplinary action against him that could harm his international career as well. I have sanity prevails soon

This shows lack of PCB interest in domestic tournaments, Younus decision should be appreciated by media and cricket fans so that level is improved. If we need to improve cricket we have to improve all aspects of it and umpiring is most important who match out come is dependent upon it. Hope PCB will take it positively and he is not victimize.

Thats why Dravid will always be rated above Ponting, Kallis and even Sanga who used to sledge when he was young as confessed by himself.

@Amit show me one Indian who matches Younis's dignity?

A great player...unable to control his temper. Hence will never go as far as his talent warrants.

@PK LOSER No, Dravid is rated above the likes of Kallis, Ponting etc in India only. Kallis was a genuine all rounder, much much better than Tendulkar. Both Tendulkar and Dravid were not match winners. They only had product endorsements. All hype, no substance. Kallis could open the bowling, was a one down test batsman. Amazing strike rate and average. All together another species.

@Naxalite But Injustice is no rule

@Karachite That means you don't watch enough cricket. Dravid has single handedly won tests in AUS, SA, ENG. Only Asian batsman to average above 50 both in and out of home. And in this post I'm not talking about cricket records but the way a player conducted himself on/off the field. Kallis once threatened SA that if not included in 2012 T20 WC team he will quit tests. Dravid has never done that.

@Karachite Take a look at Tendulkar's records. He has 18 out of 51 test tons outside Sub continent compared to YK 5 out of 31. And again more than records its his behavior that makes him better than Kallis and Ponting.

@Whatacountry The list is far long than you can imagine.

I am with Younis Khan all. The way!

Yes i know umpires are umpires. But as it is their job, so they should be held accountable to some authority.

Emotional personalities......not fit for anything.Grow up life is not fair. It does not help if you quit . Stand your ground and fight for things. Nothing has been won by quitting.

@Karachite You mean just like Younis Khan is called humble man only in Pak, while his antics suggests just the opposite. BTW Dravid has won tests against AUS and SA on his own in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Check it yourself.

@Shah absolutely correct !

@Mudassar The truth is that he is very much right, because umpire took wrong decision, despite having the technology they were planned to give favor to concern. We will stand no where, already cricket gone for six and it will take another decade to come on international stranded, wake-up and See what the coach has disclosed on tv statement.

Retire in peace Younis Khan, you were, are a great player, but now age seems to be catching up with you. Becoming very irritable, indulging in improper behavior . Go in peace.

Before judging him, you guys should find out what happened, As far as I know, umpire didn't give Misbah out and said, Misbah is too big of a player to be given out very soon in the inning.

@Revenge : can't you remember Saeed Anawar or Lara??

@Arju off course Lara, how could I forget him? My mistake really.

There is something wrong somewhere..Younis Khan must get his due respect..

Younis Khan is our hero..he has given us pride and name in cricket...then why all this is happening with him..PCB should think about all this..

This is poor sportsmanship from Yunis. This is small domestic tournament and umpires may not have much experience and may have done genuine mistakes and he should not behave like it. Unless umpires are doing error intentionally, an international experienced player should not react like this.

I think top performer like Younis cannot tolerate the crappy umpiring ! I m with Younis always, like I was with Youhana. In fact, we would have loved Younis and Youhana to play for India. They would be nearly as big as Sachin if not the same.

Full marks to Khan for standing up for the rubbish umpiring that one sees across the sub continent.

His concern may be genuine but not his method. By remaining in charge he could have used his influence to fix the problem for the long term. Instead, he took the emotional (read easy) route and pulled himself out of the solution.

If authorities whom are responsible to monitor empires and take proper action against those umpires who are involved in wrong doing than cricketers won't break the rule. Younis is out now but how about those umpires who constantly making wrong decisions whether deliberate or not it's hurting the tournament where PCB is spending tons of money.

Shehryar to note!

This board is shamed every day and yet they are not ashamed. I respect younis for his honesty.

that was very crucial,,,, that couldn't happened but unfortunately happened..

An unstable individual

@Karachite. You need to improve your knowledge of cricket......

There is need of umpire of umpire. Without solid reasons Younis Khan won't complain about umpiring. It is totally unacceptable that umpire gives favor to one team.

He might have talent but he completely lacks sportsman's spirit!

@javeed it is not a question of raising a question, but where the question was raised and the medium used for it. He is a senior cricketer, he can complain in close doors, talk to any official and explain steps for improvements overall in Pakistan cricket. What's the need to go public and use the press to express his views which are critical of match officials and/or grounds men or board. Are all of those people not just simple paid employees? Being paid megear sums to do their job and never thanked for it. Agree they were sub standard, so does that give any player a right to critique them in Public?

I respect Yunis for his performances but sometime he thinks that he is bigger than the team or the whole system. I'm sorry Yunis I am not with you on this.

Is improving was sub-standard then what's wrong in voicing it? If the pitch is like an 20yrs old broken road, can't players comment on that too or should the groundsmen be praised instead and players fined for voicing their concern?

Time to eradicate bad habits from the team

I think it is commendable that even though Younis won the game he still stated the umpiring was bad. Normally only a sore loser would say that. So there has to be some truth to it. Before you condemn Younis, there should be an inquiry. Let the truth come out. This is not the world cup or an international match. It is only domestic.

Pakistani cricket has become Street cricket ..

Was the Umpire really siding with Punjab?? This is the real question everybody should be asking

Younus is never be a on day player and should be kept a side to give chance to the players for the future of PAK team...

For those who are supporting this spoiled brat for raising voice against substandard umpiring . This is no way to record your protest. This is harassment and he has done this before and that too a few times to get into the odi side. PCB should kick him out as disciplinary action so that others learn from this

Corruption in cricket umpiring should be no surprise. The whole nation is consumed by this corrupt mentality. YK is spot on. DOWN WITH CORRUPT UMPIRES.

Great Younis was correct and he was never respected by PCB & Officials.

@Samrat .. I know that very well. In fact that's my point. However, Dravid might be a gentle Great Wall but not a great sportsman. I would rather have Yuvi than Dravid in my team.

have some sportsmanship dude ...nobody is perfect

Not a single 'mature, sensible, patriotic, humble, intelligent, controversy free' cricketer except Misbah has this country given to cricket. No doubt they produced some outstanding players... but not a single of them had t all above traits. A FAN

He did what he supposed to because he is not corrupt nor he is coward. We knows that on local level in entire Pakistan people do cheep act so they should win, this is reality, because we have gone through many times. If the Head of department is not good then the entire department is going on six, so still we have time to wake up,otherwise this team is not going to win a sing match on international level take my word. Weldon Younis we love you, because you did good job.

that why he is a great player even he takes the domestic game so serious.

@Xavi are you serious !!! Umpires cant say such a thing , in that case I would have done the same as YK,

Please before making statements go into the details. What younis have been cribbing about. Rule is rule but if justified.

Totally un professional . He should have protested after the tournament was over as being the captain of KP team . Not a good example for junior players

The reason pakistan is in a mess is because no one accepts responsibility

Criticizing bad umpiring in a corrupt country is courageous act. Younis Khan just performed that courageous act. I am proud of you. However you must retire because you are not fit to be in this prevailing crooked atmosphere, which has destroyed cricket in Pakistan.

@aD Few people talking sense on this issue. Finally found a sane opinion.

This is the national problem. We show our anger at the wrong time and place. He should have controlled his anger and found out the proper procedure to lodge his protest against the umpiring standard.

Typical reactive Younis Khan!!

this has been the main problem for many of our ills in our cricket. These players (Younis Khan type) consider themselves above any departmental accountability. Greater player than him (Mathew Hayden etc) have respected their departments' rules and played by them with honest hard work.

In this technological world when you can judge everything clearly & accurately, giving a wrong decision is pathetic. Why can't we leave the sports alone from all the other controversies. Events like these steal the fun out of sports and leave a bitter taste in our mouth.

@Mudassar What's wrong in protesting against substandard umpiring? Every one knows how the arrogant attitude of people in PCB has brought down the level of cricket in this country to all time low.

YK should be ashamed of displaying worst kind of temperament! What an examples for youngsters. .

@Whatacountry throwing a tantrum, quitting then apologizing and doing this over and over is dignified according to you? Since you ask, two obvious Indian players with far more grace and dignity despite much better track record are Dhoni and Tendulkar.

Younis' behavior exemplifies the typical childish emotional way of how we Pakistanis react when we feel we have been wronged. We, and especially our role models and leaders, need to learn to be patient and always be prepared to take the "high road."
