The mindset of Pakistan's tailenders?

[MRSN]

What kind of a mindset they have when they go out for batting?batting is not their job and no one will criticize them so go Afridi's way or what? Why don't they show responsibility like other team's tail? I would not blame them if bowlers get them out i.e by a good bowl but when they get out trying to slog knowing there is a proper bat on the other end really makes no sense at all and shows how irresponsible they are.

[Decipher]

cowards, dumb, low on confidence, technique and seriously lacking the blaze to fight it out.
Look at Brett Lee as a tail ender batsman and compare him with any of our tail end "Shehzadaas" to feel what I am saying.

Consistency is the real problem, both Gul and Sami and even Ajmal to an extent have played some fairly decent knocks over the years which show they can pitch in with a handy 30-40 here and there, but unfortunately off late, they can't seem to frustrate the opposition like Kulasekra did today, they just throw their wicket away. if 8,9 and 10 manage 40-50 runs between them, it adds alot of value and utility to the team, but yes, that's not the priority,7 you'd always rather have a bowler who takes 6-70 and score a 5 than somebody who takes 2-135 and makes 25.

They are terrible, the worst tail if you look at the major Test playing nations.

But at the moment they are not even doing well in the department they are supposed to do well, so batting tou door ki baat hai bhai.

Agreed he always tries his level best.

Umar Gul tries to hit the ball hard even when playing a defensive shot. We need a tail which can wag to help us become formidable like England

[iRfaN_LA]

Their mindset is to either hit it out or absolutely block it. They lacking fighting spirit and more importantly don't take responsibility.

Pakistan has the worst lower order currently.

I am really disappointed with and

Both showed some batting skills but have lost it completely.
