got to give credit to pak though... i dont see indian bowlers pull of a win from 11 runs needed of 12 balls and amla' date=' duminy are at the crease...[/quote'] Usually we succumb to RObin Pietersen lol seriously 4 runs to win in 48 balls Munaf to bowl 42.1 Patel to Parnell, 1 run, full in length, on the off and middle, edges the drive to the on side. Just three more now. 42.2 Patel to Morkel, OUT, Morne has blown it! Munaf nails him! It was a short delivery outside off and Morne went for the match-winning four. Cut. Crash. The ball flew but straight to point! The Indians roar. Enter Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who bowled so wonderfully earlier in the evening M Morkel c sub (YK Pathan) b Patel 6 (16m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 54.54 42.3 Patel to Tsotsobe, no run, goes for the lbw- full and straight, Lonwabo gets the bat in front of the pad to defend. the crowd roar! 42.4 Patel to Tsotsobe, 1 run, short in length, outside off, Lopsy steers it to Zaheer at third man. More applause. Will he go for the tie first or will he go for the big hit? 42.5 Patel to Parnell, no run, in the zone outside off, tapped to point 42.6 Patel to Parnell, OUT, India have won! What a stunning collapse from South Africa. They are going to hear that Choke word all over again at the press conference. It was another shortish delivery outside off and he has cut it straight to Yuvraj at point! Parnell can't believe what he has done. Munaf takes out the final two in this over. Parnell stands there, and bites his helmet strap. Meanwhile. Yuvraj is on a celebratory dash to nowhere. Munaf smiles. Indians mob him. Parnell stands still. In the absence of Jacques Kallis, South Africa are carrying a long tail and it has cost them today. The critics will bay for blood. They will scream that SA have choked again. India have bounced back yet again. It's 1-1. Phew. When Smith fell, after taking the batting Powerplay, it was 152 for 5. 189 all out. WD Parnell c Yuvraj Singh b Patel 12 (50m 27b 1x4 0x6) SR: 44.44

yea you can include india of the 90s but the rest of the list will consist of pakis from all era's except for the 90s.... Shame on all the paki tweets rubbing it in for amla... he is far better than the last 2 generations of their batting line-ups combined. Now he is back in form and ready for our side :nervous:

It looks like they are getting worse in choke situations. Earlier they only use to choke in ICC events' date=' but now they just choke in almost every chase. Just remember [b']how fantastically they chase 438 against Aussies in 2006
It really makes me wonder how they managed to do that,considering the match wet down to the last wicket..

this saffie choke along with their choke in the 2nd odi vs india in 2011 b4 the wc and also paki choke in the 1st odi vs saf in dubai are some epic chokes which'll be remembered for a long time
Two of the worst choke they had were in T20 world cups. In 2007 they just need 126, not even to win match and they were unable to do that. The second was in 2012 when Umar Gul they had match against Pakistan and suddenly Umar Gul started hitting and they lost the match
