That has nothing to do with Basharian wimpiness. He's just yellow, nervous, has the body language of a nervous-nelly in the field. He scored a sad 30 odd runs against Zimbabwe in the last ODI. People said "Oh, he came good, saved us and saved the match."

Reality is, his batting was extremely poor. As with many times before, he ran his partner out with his poor call. That runout was plain stupid. During the match, he fell asleep at the helm several times, forgot to change his bowlers when he should have. And, he could not carry on to finish and was out in the most embarrassing fashion.
