As Aakash Chopra said' date=' there are 2 SA teams playing here - one that bats first and can't seem to lose, the other which chases and can't seem to win.[/quote'] SA arent that good batting first either in pressure matches.They collapsed horribly against England in the CT semi 2013.Not to forget the comical attempt in the 2007 wc vs Aussies. No amount of bashing Ireland or Zimbabwe changes that

Both teams stink in chases AB made it easier for Pakistan by opting to chase. Also Amla when will this guy show up in a big match, I admire him but he needs to show up in big matches.

They also choked against BD in 2007 WC.

FFS ABDV can keep.The is the bloody world cup.The team's balance is gone.
AB has back issues while keeping. This is the reason he does not keep. They dont want him to miss matches due to that.

Losing a game you are expected to win is a kind of choke too. SA would have won these kind of matches in a bilateral, but they could not raise their game today because of the tournament pressure - that is what exactly a choke is.

This was not a choke. Choke is losing from winning position. They were never in that position in this game.
67/1 in 9th over chasing 232 is not a losing position.

And Captain cool decided to field first on all 3 occasions in the ODI series in RSA. We made a hack like Kock score 3 100s and received a nice thrashing. Hope this douchebag doesn't do something like this if we face RSA in knockouts.
How the elfin hell that matters now? When it mattered captain cool and his buys have stepped up.

In case a game is threatened with showers' date=' I would assume you'd like to chase because you have a clear target.[/quote'] Under the lights boss, under the lights. The pitch gets even more juiced up after rains.

Wtf? They were 67-1 after 9 over or so. If that isn't a winning position I don't know what is. They just fell away between over ten to twenty. Made Wahab Riaz look like McGrath and Ambrose rolled into one.

No that is not a winning position. We lost to England at Perth despite being 83/0.

I think more than England it is SA who struck on 90s mentality while chasing. They seem to think if the req RR is more than 6 in the earlier stage it is doom. So in order to make the Current RR increase they lose the wickets in heap. But to be honest, with their premier batting extends to 7 and decent batters till 10, they can very well be something around 150-3 till 35th over and gun down anything less than 350 from there. But they don't do it. They always want the CRR to be more than 5.5 and losing wickets in the middle.
