A glance at the team sheet before the start of the game gave me the feeling that it could be anyone's game. An attack of Morkel, Abbott, Parnell, Duminy and Phangiso was never going to guarantee a win against this WI team.

Hmm can't agree with this. The way they went about that game suggested they were mentally shot from the get go.
Suppose it depends what you call a choke. Some might say it's when you're expected to win, you're in a winning position and throw up all over yourself. Others would say if you're mentally screwed going in you've already choked.

Can we just never play at Centurian again please? Our bowlers get absolutely slapped every time we play. Several of those were complete mis-hits that went flying over the boundary. What is it with this place? Judging by the shellshocked look of our players walking off, this match isn't going to last very long.
In all serious though, take Narine and Dwayne Bravo out of this attack and we have no variety whatsoever. No matter how badly we've been playing over the last few years in ODI cricket we've had a half decent and varied bowling attack. But now we just look absolutely useless. Nice job Sir Clive!

2007 is one of the greatest chokes of all time ffs.

Oh rubbish.
Australia were unstoppable that World Cup, nobody beat them.
In 1999 and 2011 were in positions where we should have won the game, but not 2007. Please enlighten me how 2007 was a choke.

Then India vs Australia in 2003 was a choke, Pakistan vs Australia in 1999 was a choke, Pakistan vs NZ in 1992 was a choke, etc.
Just cause you get blown away by a better team doesn't mean you choked.

Yeah they were probably chokes too. Atleast I think India vs Australia 2003 was to an extent. Our bowlers got caught up in ultra aggressive mode and forgot what they'd done well all tournament. SA in 2007 was the same. The approach showed a complete lack of mental clarity.

Ive posted about the 2007 semi being a choke so many times recently for sone reason. I consider it a mental collapse because if how sa let Australia's pre match comments affect their game plan. They were called meek and slow and to prove a point they tried to slog McGrath and Lee for sixes every over. Choke maybe the wrong word.... I guess you could call it one of the best examples of letting an opponent's comments get to you. Was a display of total mental fragility imo.

Yeah, I'd agree with that, but I certainly wouldn't call it a choke.
And like I said, Australia was unstoppable in 2003 and 2007, they didn't lose a game.
Even the ones they should have lost (like against England in 2003) they still managed to somehow win.
