Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective: To study how people behave under stressful conditions and how Javed Miandad behaved and thought during the famous Sharjah last ball sixer. Method: Besides literature search a survey was conducted with 126 participants from ages 18 to 59 with half of them males and half of them females. Only one survey question was included. The question was “If you were batting instead of Javed Miandad on the last ball and 4 runs were needed and it was the same match the final India vs Pakistan. You were 110 not out and a batsman of that caliber. What would you be feeling?” The study was conducted from September 1st, 2014 to September 30th, 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area, California including participants from different parts of the world including Pakistan and India. Results: The results came out with 73.8 % people saying they would be confident with a belief that they can hit a six, 31 % said they would be nervous or fearful while the rest had mix feelings. Conclusion: The study concludes that the behavior under the stressful situation when millions of people are watching is independent of the situation but depends on the individual. Some people will react with confidence while other react in a different manner. While Miandad’s real behavior, feelings and thought process could not be assessed because the behavior, feelings and thought process varies and depends on person to person.
