The Proteas - Our Team!

If I recall correctly 2007 bucked this trend somewhat.

Edit: Google says my memory is shot! Was 2003.
Cool story bro, thats one out of how many WCs ?

Almost every WC we go to, we have a squad capable of winning. So talent is clearly NOT the issue. Experience cant be the issue either.

im over making excuses for the proteas, if its not one reason its another.

They just need to find the mental strength to get the job done, thats what it comes down to.

I'm not disputing what you said. It's generally a number of things that work in conjunction to deny the lads a victory. But the choking is in my mind easy to explain. It's simply a fear of failure.

So they fail - self fulfilling prophecy ....

SA's loses are nothing compared to NZ in the last 2 world cups.

If anything fear of failure will hit them the hardest.

Batted the way senior side has done on the last 2 tours, maybe slightly better.
Hopefully this exposure will help the guys improve.
