Nice post nahaz. Though, I think (lack of) education and grooming goes hand in hand with this issue of being emotionally/psychologically stunted. Just recall G. Smith being captain of South Africa at the age of 22 and compare that to Shak.
Also, given the fact that most of our current cricketers have gone through the age-level, Academy and A-Teams, you would think that they would be more prepared by the time they arrive on the international stage (even if they go through the ranks much quicker than other teams!)
