LAHORE, Oct 17: Pakistan's English coach Bob Woolmer Sunday on admitted his cricket squad was not clicking as a unit in big games, but said such teams should not be called chokers as it was a common symptom in a team's growth phase.

"When I was South African team coach they were unfairly labelled with chokers tag so I did some research on teams who don't quite win big games and found a common theme that teams growing together miss out on important games," Woolmer said.

"We were in prime form on Saturday ... weren't overconfident and in the right mood but Sri Lanka played better than us and we have to say in cricket only one side win and everyone would have liked Pakistan to win.

"They have been with me for three months and as the team grows it tends to miss out on important games because it doesn't quite believe that they can win yet."-AFP
