RideTheSpiral posted:I say missing three runouts, colliding for a catch in the outfield and getting hit for a six to lose in the last over is pretty close to a choke imo. not even close, any game has its share of mistakes and both sides made them. Ross Taylor running out Guptill for example. Saffers fielding almost won the game too, some of those stops were amazing and NZ probably would've won the game 2 overs earlier if not for them.

Who is going to be wheeled out for the final then? To replace Taylor. Someone not from central districts preferably.

Steyn shouldn't have been bowling the last over though. Was injured and bowling like poo poo, and the pace allowed NZ to run 2 byes, the second one getting Elliott back on strike to win it. If you're gonna go with pace in that situation the keeper better be able to hit the stumps.

When you get to a semi-final and find such comical ways to gently caress up, then the reality is you won't escape the chokers tag. People gently caress up all the time and do dumb poo poo in sport, but what happens at the pointy end is what gets remembered. The vision of the outfield collision, or AB literally on his back clawing at the stumps with Anderson half way down the pitch is going to get used a lot. As it should.

Somebody's surely going to make a GIF of AB at the end watching the six sail above him with the Lisa Simpson/Ralph wiggim you can see when his heart breaks thing.

Wether or not SA choked, this game just adds to the amazing list of ways they have tragically failed in the World Cup.

This is 100% Duminy's fault, the sub bloke would've caught it otherwise

They actually won a knock-out game this time around, so they can take that as a positive. And they lost the semi to an excellent team playing at home. No shame in that, really.

Someone find the most hyperbolic SA press headlines. I'm hoping for something on the level of that Zimbabwe one.

Once more, with feeling: gently caress the US Eastern Time Zone. All the good stuff happened at like 5:30 AM, and I'm not 16 and able to keep vampire hours anymore
