South Africans choke again in the semis against Pakistan

London : United Kingdom | 5 months ago  
Views: 36

As was not expected, but has happened often with sickening familiarity; South Africans who stayed unbeaten bow down to Pakistan in the semis of the T 20 World Cup. A score of 149 seemed very gettable after their bowlers did a wonderful job to tie the explosive Pakistani batting to sub-150 score.

But, once again, like it has happened to many other teams; it is the batting which failed them. What better preparation could a team do? The players were firing, the morale was high, yet they always crumble at the crucial times.... They will find it hard to shake the chokers tag.

Pakistan lives up to its tag of being unpredicatably dangerous. They are a confident outfit, peaking just at the right time.... They have a great chance of winning the cup.

Like in life, it matters not what you are capable of, it matters what you can deliver.....
