Pakistan vice-captain Salman Butt has got a dressing down from the team
management for criticising the bowlers at a press conference during the second
cricket Test against South Africa here last week.
Sources in the team said that Butt was forced to apologise to the bowlers and
other teammates who rounded on him for his critical comments.
"Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria as well as the pacers
were not happy when they read Butt's comments and confronted him," sources
said.
"One bowler told Butt on his face that being the vice-captain
did not give him a license to blame the bowlers publicly and if the team did
not do well it was everyone's responsibility," he said.
"He also told Butt that by making such statements he should
not spoil the spirit in the dressing room.
