When NZ defeat India & go on to lose to Aus ......?

[Zinzan]

Once New Zealand defeat India & go on to lose to Australia in the final, should they be labelled as chokers?

 

[Athlai]

Why do you do this to yourself

 

[Molehill]

If India win the toss and bat, it won't even be close.

I said yes but Rachin wouldn't have even played had Kane been fully fit.

So realise my choice is wrong.

But then this is hypothetical so why am I taking it seriously.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I said yes but Rachin wouldn't have even played had Kane been fully fit.

He probably would've played but would've batted at 7.

It's probably more going to be the usual mental midgetry vs Australia rather than a final problem. NZ have won 2 semis and a (test) final since 2015 in cricket I pay attention to, plus made the world t20 final once?

It's not a choke if you should lose on paper anyway, unless it's obvious you're #spooked.

NZ came in about fifth favourites and finished fourth. Losing games from here is not a choke.

 

[Adders]

Only on CW could a team have a rep for punching above their weight and yet at the same time being chokers.

India will win anyway so the argument is redundant.
