I think it's more to do with the fact that when your bowling you need to concentrate on getting people out. When your batting you can bat according to what your team needs (unless your name is Sourav Ganguly) and I think it's less pressure really.

Batting's more instinctive, more reactive. Bowling requires a lot of thought. How are you supposed to think about what you are going to bowl next if you have to think about the field 1st...
