Comparison of chokes

[vvvslaxman]

Which choke is worse.. England themselves have choked four times in 4 finals of world event. Which is worse? http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;filter=advanced;final_type=1;orderby=start;team=1;template=results;tournament_type=5;type=team;view=results vs Pakistan 1992 a team that they owned in preliminary vs West Indies 2004 a team that crawled their way to win with tailender or this choke I think this takes the cake lol 20 runs in 15 balls with 6 wickets in hand.. Even pune warriors would win from such a situation :giggle:

I think the real dramatic chokes were Australia 1987 and India 2013.

Interms of Choking in Knockouts South Africa>England>Srilanka Loins are not exactly chokers,they just get easy draws but credit were due absolutely annhilate minnows and sneak into knockouts where they run into superior teams. English just a better version of Loins but SOuth Africa...My Word were they part of some awesome chokes

None were chokes. This was just batting practice for the world championship which is due to start in a few weeks. 20/20 WC is the biggest short format event anyway. And we've won one of those.

England were cruising.....Mike Gatting played a rash sweep shot.....the rest is history.....

[SLICKR392]

He called Kapil dev's shot a stupid shot in the semi finals.. He did worse than that.. became butt of a joke after his dismissal.

Obviously, the yesterday's choke. The other times, the choke was not unique, players just failed to deliver. This time, the English weather choked, it pi$$ed on the ground all day, but it still wasn't enough to help England share the trophy. Even the English gods choke in a world cup finals!

I have a question - How many South Africans does it take to choke?

On last choke, i can say "This is what happen when you infuse south african blood in your team. It is HIV and there is no cure." I dont care about their previous debacles, They were the most boring team to follow, so they are there in multination tournaments for numbers.

[maniac]

They always had southafricans in their team.....robin smith,Allan lamb etc :dontknow:

But the last two overs were very difficult to score because 2 good spinners were turning the ball square. Its not easy for tailenders to score runs from them. They tried to take singles but when they couldnt, they got run out. Credit has to be given to Dhoni's captaincy for keeping an attacking field even at the end to stop singles when boundaries could have proved decisive.
