Cobras were beaten by a side in the form of their lives. TnT has tons of international experience and I am hoping they go all the way to KLAP the Aussies!

They are absolutely not chokers!

And besides they walk away with a tidy US$ 500,000 for their efforts.

Chokers is practically a compliment after that display in the field. Three dropped sitters, 20-30 extras in 20 overs, shockingly inaccurate bowling...

This was the worst professional performance I've ever seen

Wow! Look at that, the experts are out with the calls of chokers AGAIN because a team lost a game! :rolleyes:

It seems a team can't actually lose any more without it being called a choke.

The fielding was the worst effort by a south african side which I've seen in quite some time. A run out chance botched and numerous extra runs were given away...oh and 3 dropped catches.

How else can you describe the team other than a bunch of chokers after being in a totally dominant position and then throwing it all away?

I would even raise the thought of match fixing, it was such a poor effort from the players.

Crap fielding and average bowling cost the game, Duminy was the only guy on form.

Was a nice game I liked both sides so really not upset, the final would be interesting with either team.

And then you get the ones who repeatedly attempt to defend the use of the choker tag!

The Cobras (yes them, not the eagles! Seems it may well be someone else who is high....) scored 175 runs! One of the better scores of the tournament. This score was then chased down by a team that has become known for their lethal batting in this tournament.

The loss probably boils down to one thing - the three missed catches! If those were taken then it would have been different. Does dropping a catch then equate to being chokers? If so then think every cricket team can be labelled chokers as I do not know of a team that has never dropped a catch!

Seriously guys if you cannot actually provide some constructive and intelligent feedback after a game then try not to just resorting to throwing out the choker tag. It is so old already!
