Our cricket team aren't chokers. Our rugby team, on the other hand...I find it funny that NZ has reached the semi's 5 times now and not once have they made it to the finals. Everytime they get hammered ... so LOL .. talk about chockers, you have the real deal right there!
Bingo. To choke, the generally accepted theory is you should be favourites going into the event.I don't see how losing today will prove they are chokers, unless they play ridiculously badly or throw away a winning position. Losing a game you're expected to lose is hardly choking unless there are strange circumstances to the loss.
And Pakistan did go on to win the final...Well, they did in one. Although Inzamam taking the game away from the Kiwis probably doesn't equate them throwing the game away.
Really worthy of six s? No.Boring?? Quite the opposite really. I just had a quick look at the on-line news reports out of South Africa, and this match and the "choke" is somewhat breaking news and front page news. It appears to be of interest to the nation.
Nah, don't reckon it is - just your garden-variety oxygen thief.
Big call I know, and I'm certainly not sure or anything, just a guess...
