Yet another choke?


Recommended Posts

they went form 80/8 to 175 so its still a big recovery.
Might be a recovery but the final score of 175 is by no means a match winning score.

there's a difference between making a low score and a choke.
In this case, "choke" = Failing on big occasions That is what SA top and middle order did. The lower order took them to a respectable total otherwise they would have struggled to get to 100.

SA were in a nothing to lose scenario at 80 for 8. Hence some big hitting. But overall they played exactly how a tournament favorites should not play in a crucial match. Even though they miss few bowlers, it is their batting that let them down. They just miss Smith and Kallis. Australia has shown how a tournament favorites should play in crucial matches. Be it is Gilly tearing apart Srilankan without even giving a breather in 2007 world cup final or Punter massacring our sorry attack in 2003 world cup final.

Hainn? 175 all out is not a choke? Lessen the hate towards me a bit and you will realize there is more to cricket and ICF than just me :two_thumbs_up:

They also choked in the 2007 world 20/20 in the SF. Got beat by a very poor Indian team.
2007 WT20 ... they never made it to the semis. India beat Australia in the semis.
