Irate skipper and run-out victim Mohammad Yousuf launched an extraordinary attack on bumbling opener Salman Butt - blasting him as selfish and lazy - as Pakistan cricket was ripped apart.
In a blistering spray, a seething Yousuf accused Butt of playing for himself, not his country, blaming him for his diabolical run out in the Third Test in Hobart.
Pakistan plunged to 4-94 in reply to Australia's 8-519 (dec) after Butt refused to leave his crease for a regulation third run and left his captain Yousuf stranded when Mitchell Johnson fired in a return.
A stunned Yousef stood motionless at the end of the pitch for a minute and on Friday night accused Butt of putting himself ahead of his team.
Australia skipper Ricky Ponting's amazing 209 was overshadowed by one of the most bitter attacks a Test captain has ever launched against a teammate.
"We are not playing for self, we are playing for country. If I'm 35 years old and I can get three runs, he's 25 years old, why can't he take the runs?" Yousuf said.
"He is a little lazy, everybody knows. He's just 25 years old and he can't run. That is why I was just standing there.
"It was an easy three runs. Me and him the same in 140 overs fielding.
"We play for country here, not for self. I just stopped there, I didn't say anything, I was just very sad with the whole thing."
As Pakistan turned into "Panicstan" once more, young batting gun Umar Akmal (8) was also run out as the shambolic tourists found yet another way to implode.
But it was the terrible yet comical run-out of Yousuf - his country's best batsman with a Test average of 53 - that left the blundering tourists in tatters. With Butt unbeaten on 34 at stumps, Yousuf said the opener would face a major inquisition if he did not make a big century to save the Test for Pakistan.
"We will try to lift him to play the whole day tomorrow," Yousuf said
"I still back him to try to please play a long innings.
"It is difficult to now save this game but it is a very flat wicket. If we play for country and try to survive sessions, not going for runs . . . every session we'll try to save the game."
With Ponting blasting a double century after being dropped by Mohammad Aamer before he had scored, Yousuf blasted his team's terrible fielding. He also claimed their capitulation in Hobart was one of Pakistan's worst performances ever as the team plunged into a fresh crisis after a week off turmoil on and off the field.
