According to Woolmer, Pakistani players are very sensitive towards such criticism. What they need now is confidence in their abilities..."positive thinking" as Chappell has also said. Going out with a negative attitude - 'we're going to get beaten whatever happens' type of attitude will certainly not help. If they don't believe in themselves, in being capable of beaten the Aussies, they certainly will not be able to do so.

Woolmer also said in his recent update that the boys have said they can deal with this situation themselves. i hope they do. Mental toughness is must in international cricket - and especially when playing the Aussies who keep bringing up your weak points.
