Time to choke that awful losing habit
"The South African cricket team are not a bunch of chokers

"The South African cricket team are not a bunch of chokers. We know, because they tell us so," writes Michael Doman on Independent Online. "Yet on Thursday night in Durban they were rudely dumped out of the World Twenty20 by India when they buckled under the pressure of having to chase a victory target of 154 in 20 overs."
The other cry in the wake of South Africa's demise is: Where was Jacques Kallis when needed. Not selected in the squad... and in hindsight perhaps this was a mistake. The people are impatient for success. Yet remember that two of Saturday's semifinalists, India and Pakistan, did not make it past the first round of the 2007 World Cup.
