*** Official *** West Indies in South Africa 2014/15

I am sorry this whole "We are rubbish" line is the weakest attempt to try brush aside that England also choke. Fact is England have been in finals and semi finals and blew it That final against the West Indies at home in the 2000's is a prime example. If you dont call that choking i dont know what.

Agreed.

England are the only team to have lost every World Cup final they've played in.

Every other side that has been in a World Cup final has won at least one.

 

[Pothas]

Quite liking Smith.

I think wicket is doing more than poor batting by WESTINDIES,this is worst shaw by them, I would like john Charles return in team.IPL KILL w.i.
Probably southafrica win by 9vwkts.

I would like to watch Hindi serial than poor cricket, if southafrica bat in this 3rd. Match they probably 235 for 7 now.ball is doing lot today

Should have just organized T20s instead of ODIs or Tests, anything over 20 overs is just too much to ask from this side.

If we played F5 internationals, West Indies would DOMINATE.

Lol that was arguably the best choke of the bunch.

It was doubtful even if they played to their best they would have won that game, but so many stupid dismissals, they were a mess that day. The 2011 game against a mediocre NZ team was a master class in choking, the insane run out of AB, and the lower order not having a clue. The JP Duminy innings especially was wretched, he was so terrified as he was so out of his minnow bashing comfort zone.


They have bottled every T20 World cup, not even getting close to 100 against India in 2007 was amusing as their failed chases against Pakistan and of course they bottled it against England in the champions trophy.

Bilateral series are one thing, but getting it done when it matters is where these boys have ****ed up so many times over the years.

Like England, all the resources and players and yet...

Who was that Iraqi that was adamant there are no enemy tanks in Baghdad and in a televised press conference you could see American tanks in the background but yet the bloke still denied it.

Like this final:

Final: England v West Indies at The Oval, Sep 25, 2004 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

And people still think England dont choke

Comical Ali...

Comical Ali...

Ah thanks, yes him

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well atleast England have won a few knockout games to get to the final.

Some of SA's best chokes are non-wc too... Eg: 2002 champions trophy semifinal (Classic Kallis slowpoke innings), Hero Cup 93 final etc.

So has South Africa if you actually did your research.

India are pretty good at choking in tests, heck i was even at the ground for one of them. Ball spinning square yet India stuffed up.

Kallis has won champions trophy semi final and final by himself. hey but that doesn't count.

 

[dogwalker]

Christ. I'm going to have to leave the part of the internet that concerns itself with cricket.

It's the same "joke" ad nauseam. This "they're chokers" circle jerk. Is it that good?

****.

 

[akilana]

Because they keep ****ing up at Home. Not hard to figure out really.

and then they **** up opponents away from home.more than they should.

you don't understand what a choke is. do you?

I did indeed say that.

Well West Indies were 8 down with 9 & 10 at the crease still needing 70 plus runs - what is it then

Apparently people need a reminder that trying to one-up other people in a discussion by bringing up the foibles of completely irrelevant teams is trolling/warmongering w/e and will be infracted, so here it is.

 

[dogwalker]

Let the discussion be, ffs Spark.
