It's the mindset
Last 30 years one thing is always clear
a) Pakistan loses their 2 Openers before 120 runs
b) Pakistani coaches tell players to protect their wicket and don't score
c) They still lose their wickets
d) Middle order panics , loses wickets for 4-5 runs
e) Then 1-2 players score 30-40 runs to create false hope
f) Then major collapse happens
Playing on Dead UAE wickets has all but destroyed Pakistani bowler's technique
It is many things. The work ethics is questionable. The technical shortcomings are visible. The mindset and confidence level are a huge problem. Professionalism is a big question mark.
There are videos circulating where Shoaib Malik, Wahab Riaz among others are seen at sheesha lounge one night before India match. I don't know how credible this is, but if true we shouldn't be surprised at the performance.
