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.
Can you do a similar before and after tournament for South Africa too, please?

Look, I like and support South Africa (lest you misunderstand), but to not acknowledge the choke problem is denial, as Gary Kirsten would tell you.
