Joe Low Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) The choker tag is now finally shed heyEspecially after the knock-out victory over the Lankans. I doubt it - This one from the Guardian: "South Africa suffer more World Cup heartache after failing to ditch ‘chokers’ tag" Of course, England's cricket team never gets into a position in the first place where they can choke!

arendoog Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Maybe Steyn tried to bowl a yorker and it came out higher than what he had tried to do .If Elliot swiped and missed how different all would have been today .Sometimes you need a bit of luck to!

I think they should have run him our backing up twice when he ran the byes!
Shebeen Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 interesting query from RD. in the pakistan game we get them all out for 222, target was adjusted to 232 in 47 overs.in the semi. our 281/5 became a target of 298 in 43 overs. incidentally, if we didn't bat after the rain break - the target would have been 264 in 38 overs....it's almost like the miller onslaught hardly added anything onto the total. http://www.sport24.co.za/Cricket/CricketWorldCup2015/Domingo-questions-Duckworth-Lewis-method-20150325 of course it's bad enough a saffa hit the winning runs to get the MotM award, duckworth lewis is a SA concept!

English fans cries with relief when their team wins the tossHehehe Bernard Horn 1
Bernard Horn Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The boss thought it wise to do a firedrill at the start of the last over!!!! Lots of praise for the Proteas in New Zealand.It is tough to win in Auckland,just ask the Boks.
Frosty Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Pat Symcox to AB http://www.sport24.co.za/Columnists/PatSymcox/Open-letter-to-AB-20150325 Very last sentence... "Life goes on after every loss and after every win – something you truly realise once your playing days are over."
Joe Low Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The rest of the world would love to retain the tag.This generation of cricketers have moved on and displayed excellent performances and will hopefully continue to. The rest of the world is what matters if you care about the tag at all - fair or unfair. I would say the comedy collision to miss the catch and the phantom stumping don't help the Proteas' cause, as well as not defending 12 off the last over. but it's only a game and it's a shame for ABdV for sure as he really is a worldbeater and seems like a great oke too.
intern Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 turncoat!! When it comes this close, there's very little separating the sides. There are so many 'what ifs' that it's actually pointless trying to split them out. The biggest one is 'what if it didn't rain'. ABdV could have got 175* and then Kane Williamson's dropped catch would have been what cost them. Since you were there, do you think behardien/duminy didn't call for the catch, or it was so damn loud that they got drowned out?Don't think they called it; Duminy should have left it for Behardien.
'Dale Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 AahWhat a glorious hook shot by SharmaOff the blistering pace of Johnson nogal
Gandalf Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 A loss is never lekker, but heal up champs. There is always next WC. There are a couple of very good youngsters up and coming, so i think there are some good times ahead for the proteas. Just hope none of them decide to immigrate to NZ.
Shebeen Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 india down to 108/4 chasing 329. if Dhoni can bring this one home, he might even be able to tell Sachin when to jump
'Dale Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 If his partners can stay with him, I reckon India stands a good chance
