THIS TIME IT WONT BE CHOKING...they will lose just because of the conditions they have to play in...they should get past ZIM,but thereafter its a good bet to lay them.
coming from england to the sub continent is not entirely ideal....but having said all that....i will cover myself and say..20/20 is such a lottery that it takes just one special innings from just 1 individual and the game is over...and this kind of special innings can come from just about any player in the tournament from any team.
under kirsten...they will not choke...he has instilled a work ethic in the team and the morale is high and they are not scared about losing at the moment...because they are very relaxed(if that makes any sense)...i associated choking,when the team is under pressure and they buckle..but under kirsten they seam to thrive under pressure(much like kirsten was ,when he batted)
best to bet 20/20 in running...cant go wrong.....yesterday india 1/125 at the start....1/9 available when they went 22/2 after 4 overs....then take afganistan 33/1 after india posted 159....how could u lose

The only time they are going to lose the "Choker" tag is when they win a World tournament, 20/20 or 1 day...... until then they will be known as the "Choker's"

they will not choke.imo if they chose the right team then they hv a chance.they must drop levi and parnell as they are not good enuf and open with kallis and amla.if ab hits form then we hv a decent chance.our spinners are good enough,our quicks are good enough so it comes down to our batting.
i hope all our players come to the party and perform to there potential because then we hv a chance.

We should easily get through to the semis that is where the fun will begin. It has been mentioned before that 20/20 is a lottery and often the best side doesn't win. We more than have the talent to win this with a team filled with quality all rounders. I agree about dropping Parnell as the seems to have a problem keeping his front foot behind the line and in this format against quality sides you cannot give away free hits. Levy is also very hit and miss and unfortunately misses more than he hits. Our side is very well balanced with several all rounders the likes of Kallis, Albie, Peterson, Botha and Faf.
I hope that if we lose it is because of a close game that could go either way rather than a collapse. Go Proteas. (tu)

I was amazed at the Indian team selection yesterday with Rohit coming in at 7 and leaving out Harbajian. Surely Sehwag, Gambhir, Kohli, Yuvraj, Raina , Dhoni, Pathan, Harbajian and Ashwin in enough in the batting department for 20 overs. Will be interested to see what they go for in the England game.
