And from the way Pakistan batted, bowled and fielded, perhaps, it was. The match was played in typical English conditions in May and Pakistan should have been mentally prepared for this. All the more reason of the need for greater circumspection and more resolution, all the more reason for team work. Just compare the body-language of the players of the two teams. England had come to Lord's to win and Pakistan to do their best, given their limitations in alien conditions.
Cricket is played in the mind.
One did not see any positive signals emanating from the Pakistan dressing-room. Once the first day's play was washed out, Pakistan read that as a sign that they could go away from Lord's with a draw. I don't think winning was on the menu. Yet Pakistan went into the match with five seamers. Not even the West Indies, in their halcyon days, played that many.
