Proteas, will they choke again

Proteas elected to field first. Hope they restrict the batsmen and come out bats blazing. Really nothing to lose now.

100% in agreement GB, I am of the opinion we are exceptional in the test arena due to the squad depth (even though we do not have a world class spinner) and also due to the fact that the mistakes made by the captain and other errors committed can be rectified due to the 5 days of play.

In the 50 over and T20 format there is no where to hide when bad decisions are made.

Luckily there is no ICC 5 day format world cup, needless to say we all know what would happen there!!!

oh dear there goes my top batsmen bet <

guys rather take huge bets on man utd @13/20 tonight.money for jam.
proteas hv been really poor and they hv disapointed all their supporters once again.maybe next icc tourny.

2 runs needed - 2 balls = 2 singles??
Chokers

Sigh ... too depressed last night to post. Feel sorry for them all, they had such high hopes, and came away with wins only over Zim and who were the other team? Forget.

Still, they can only improve. Like a true optimist I soldier on :

The optimist fell ten stories!
At each window bar
He shouted to his waiting friends,
"All right so far!"

Hey Mav, all is not lost, we gonna kill the Aussies down under next month...

Always Choke-a-Cola

Mavourneen, those were his famous last words before the SPLAT?

Now we must put the succesfull tour in perspective , are England that good at the moment ?
Both SA and England our out of the tournament . The story that the wickets dont suit us is BS . Top sides should be able to adapt to any kind of track . Australia who were ranked 9th before the tournament started , have adapted and now stand a good chance of winning . The tag of being chokers will stand until we are able to string 5 top performances together in a row.

Exactly this hit and miss cricket is a lottery. Test cricket is still the ultimate as over 5 days the team that is the best side usually wins and you need more than one batsman and one bowler to come off.
