Fear of failure is the root cause of Pakistan batsmen's struggles

[ataullah]

None of our batsmen looked to dominate or go for boundaries. The same batsmen took risks in PSL. Its disgusting to see them try to keep their place in Pak team by striking at 100. Selectors and management need to give an extended run to batsmen and ask them to be aggressive or exclude them from team. We need to change our backward mentality.

Exactly, you have summed it up.

Fear of failure has nothing to do with todays performance.We should stop expecting our team to do well with our top order comprising of Shehzad,Kamran,Fakhar type players.

At least these players show urgency and aggression in PSL but go into their shell when playing for pak. I say stick with fakhar and he will come good

MashAllah tanvir in at 8 and not grooming shadab. This is story of Pak cricket

Playing in international matches is different than playing in league matches.I think that these players are only good for domestic and league matches.But I agree that Fakhar should be given some consistent chances before being judged.

Actually Tanvir is grooming Shadab - shielding him from danger

If playing cricket for a decade or more cannot cure stage fright then they are in the wrong business.
I only worry about newcomers. They see mentally brittle players like Hafeez akmal and Malik masquerading as senior players. What a corrosive impact this has on the next generatjon. Our leading lights are perennial match losers and shrinking violets when the heat is on
