If anything South Africa not being at their best in the group stages is a good sign for them. Maybe this time they'll improve as the tournament progresses and win a knockout match for once.

Don't say it Cartman!

This is nothing like a choke. It's a meaningless group game, and SA were never in position to win it.

India have controlled this game throughout, and are winning this because they deserve to and not because SA are choking.

Not a choke chasing 300 plus and never being miles ahead of the rate. A choke would be if they were 250/3 or so with ten to go and bottled it.

was meme posting ftr.

some of the dismissals have been filthy though.

How is this a choke ffs? Over use of that word just dilutes the value when they actually do choke.

Parnell's supposed to be an all-rounder of sorts isn't he? Would he normally bat ahead of Philander?

How can playing poorly be a good sign?

He shouldn't bat ahead of Philander because he shouldn't be in the team. He is absolute rubbish.

Its incredible how piss poor Jp Duminy Still is against spin after all these years.

Bucks the trend in every single WC where they look brilliant and then go home after the first knockout.

 

[indiaholic]

Very much possible that they end up creating a new trend where they are terrible in the group stages and in the knockouts.

 

[Zinzan]

This is going to be sooo close.

 

[Contra]

is that another run out?

 

[jan]

Considering the above post by Burgey I admit my definition of choke is a tad more extensive than just losing from being 250/3jesus posting on pjone sucks
sucks

Awwweeeeessssssommmmmmmmeeeeeeeee

 

[Contra]

Best fielding side in the world lolol 8)

 

[Gnske]

Oh my

I'll give it to India, they've got better since that miss and fumble earlier. If they could do this consistently that would be great.

 

[Jarquis]

I wish Benchmark was here* to tell us why you should take the ball behind the stumps



*I really, really don't

 

[cnerd123]

Best fielding side in the world at it again.

Should be game over that.

SA have run pretty poorly.

 

[viriya]

SA starting the choke early this time.
