I think it is safe now to relabel the Proteas... for years we all thought of them of chokers... I think we can change that to just plain useless...

Indeed, choking and stupidity are not the same thing.

i like chokers, it has a ring to it, and you actually associate it with a physical notion when you see one of them walking around

Utterly useless and disgraceful . Perhaps if they did less TV commercials for kfc and standard bank and more practice they might win.

A lot more practice. And get rid of Smith. And a few others.
We need some young blood, it's OK if you lose with young players, at least you then have a future.

Its really a simple process.
1.Get rid of Smith as Captain in all formats. What has he done in the 7 years at the helm? Perhaps he could captain tests(My pick is Botha)
2. Select 3 Squads for each format of the game.
3. Develop the skills in each squad necessary for their specialized format.
4. Get a tactical genius to make it all stick togethere

To answer G.
1. A test series win away in Australia. Drawing an away test series in India. Clobbering the Poms.
2. I agree with you here.
3.Yes.
4. Easier said than done.
Also Smith is without a doubt the best opening batsman in SA. I think he is only an average captain who should have done better with the talent at his disposal.

I never said get rid of him. He is a great batsmen but one test win against a depleted Ozzie side, a draw in India, and a couple of wins against the SA B-team in 7 years... you can be the judge

You need to be somewhere if you are going to choke. They just played terribly.
