That effort from faf might be the most valiant attempt at screwing up as many important things at the same time ever.
Drop catch and match
Allow overthow 1 run
Miss runout and cost match
4 runs overthrows
Strike swaps new ball on song steyn no longer facing hopeless number 11. Gets hit for 6.
So he lost the match twice, lost a good chance of winning and cost 11 runs. Quality

Is this a more epic choke than the 1999 semifinal ? My bets on it.

I hope he moans about the pitch being too subcontinental or something in the post match conference. I don't like the guy.

Nah fair enough actually, I was just a little hyped. Faf's interviws always rub me the wrong way for some reason though.

Nothing will compare to the ridiculous Donald dismissal in a SF, but letting the final pair put on 78 is big. Though this was less a choke and more awesome batting

Certainly yes.

Yeah, he wasn't whining - just stating what happened. He showed good grace, I thought.

To imply an epic choke takes away from an ATG innings. This was about Perera, not SA.

How many chances did South Africa have that they squandered though? It’s not like the 2015 WC S/F where they’re dropping catches, missing catches and mucking up easy runouts. Perera took a chance and almost everything he hit came off. Think you have to credit the batsman here.

You had a bet on the 99 match being mentioned in this thread?

I dont like the lame choking talk, but all these things kinda happened haha.
Sometimes you get beaten by a guy playing the innings of his life. Perera's innings ending up on the losing side would've been tragic.

Wow, gave up on this when the early wickets went today. Well done Perera and Sri Lanka. Up there with the Gooch effort as the best matchwinning ton in my lifetime that one.
