vvvslaxman Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Some of the fielding errors were really bad. If they had Pakistani fans' date=' the game would have gone down as [b']a fixed game for some noble cause. :hysterical:
CSK Fan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 stupid thread. not a choke. great fight by saffers. Stupid post. school boys errors in crunch match = choke
vvvslaxman Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 They got all they wanted 1) Won the toss 2) Elected to bat first In batting if you choke you cannot come back. But in bowling/fielding you can come back. But they didn't want to come back. They kept making the same errors. So this is a mega choke.
zen Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 huh?they were 70/4 in 23-24 overs iirc' date='from that position they did well to get to 210[/quote'] In SA's batting line up, Boucher was slotted to come in at #9 .... even if they had lost 4 wkts, they would have chased (not tied) that total if not for the KO pressure :winky:
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Stupid post. school boys errors in crunch match = choke only losing from an unanimous winning position = choke Saffers were never in such a position in the second half. if this loss by saffers is a choke, then Ganguly as a captain is a big choker because i believe he lost about 11 out of 13 finals he led indian team to. but he is not, as that is not the definition of a choke this match was a close contest.

Tiger80 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 99 was not a choke' date='they lost 9 wkts and still tied,92 was rain,2011 was a grand choke[/quote'] they require just 214 and SA was best team of tournament . They were also 48/0
kosingh Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Choke or not we can agree that Saffers failed to make routine plays under pressure
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 arey bhai its not about losing finals or KOs' date=its about choking at things which you are supposed to be good at.saf in the field choked badly and would have taken those catches and got those runouts almost everytime but today they blundered,could have got elliot out 5 times lol now thats a decent argument tho. but some people keep calling them chokers as soon as they lose a game. i intended my post to them.

Well done, Sir! It was a new kind of choke featuring their strongest suit, fielding.
asterix Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 it was definitely a choke right from the start of the SA innings... I didn't followed the match at the end but if you allow a player like Elliot to play a match winning innings, you are definitely a choker and don't deserve to go to next stage...

Precambrian Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Choker Supreme Indeed. Today really badly choked. 12 runs of last over? World no. 1 bowler. And you deliver a lollipop at length to be smashed for six. God in test cricket. But not so in ODIs.
Marut Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 This was deffo choke. Chokafrica lived up to its reputation. Fielding was a comedy occasionally dropping to levels seen in club cricket. Definitely the result of panic and choking.

asterix Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Elliot is a Saffer actually. :haha::haha: That's even more damning... :headshake:
vijay50 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 SA bottled it big time. If they dont choke they eventually bottle it. Rain and Another saffer did them in.
