I sometimes get the impression that most of the people in this thread have no idea what choke actually means and just use it because they've seen others say it in the past.

I mean a choke is managing to lose from a position of almost certain victory. Being completely dominated throughout the game isnt that.

People were yelling choke about a quarter into india's innings, and then india were choking after putting on 300 and then SA choked about 12 more times before the end of the game.

Just got back from the ground. Insane atmosphere. 86000 fans who all just seemed to love the gently caress out of cricket. Faf du Plessis's 2000th ODI run got as big a cheer as any boundary or wicket. When de Villiers got run out I thought the stadium was going to collapse though.gabensraum posted:Apparently a big thunderstorm will hit Melb. Looking forward to another edition of SA vs Duckworth-Lewis.

I feel South Africa conceding a century to Dhawan, losing by 140 runs to India and being bowled out in 40 overs by a complete scrub attack falls within the broader definition of South Africa world cup fail chokes.

Except it's not because SA could go on to win the world cup from here.

Also I never thought South Africa should realistically be considered favourites for the World Cup and nothing I saw tonight changed my mind. Parnell batting at 7 and conceding 9 runs an over pretty much sums up 100% my concerns with them - they don't have enough depth. Their frontline players are as good as they get but once you crack the top few batsmen or see off the main quicks they look wafer thin.

There'll be absolute carnage in sackings from top to bottom in the ECB if England lose to Scotland

I'd hope they wouldn't have to be sacked. They would, obviously, but it would be nice.

There is zero chance that Downton or the selectors go if England lose this. Accountability is not their strong point.

India's bowling is trash. The one thing they have going for them is they don't wilt on the big occasions which I feel SA did last night. All their wickets were gifts and mentally weak poo poo.

Of course what would actually happen is a 2 year long enquiry that results in yet another coach.

England has not had a hilarious capitulation in the first few overs. Looks like they have this one quite comfortably.

England will win and all the dead weight will "justify" their existence like they always do.

This is looking ominous for Scotland, a composed 12 off 23 so far for Ian 'the Hammer of the Scots' Bell.
