Seriously confused at your line of argument, anyway. Are you actually saying that SA's record in knockout tournaments is fine? Despite them having never won a knockout match at the top-flight tournaments since readmission?
How is this relevant?

Normally I dont really care about this whole choking thing I just laugh at how non Saffers related every loss to a choke. BUT this whole thing that England dont choke is a cop out. This whole "England were ****" line does not wash. Its easy to say that in retrospect but beginning and during these tournaments people werent saying England were ****.
Before tournament
Person x says "Ah England have a good bunch of players our record has been great because we won x series in a row - we will have a great tournament.
After England gets knockout of tournament
Person x says "Nah England are **** they never had a chance so its not a chance.
