Will they choke again?

Though this World Cup could have just been the one where South Africa finally win the big one rightfully claim to be the World Champions of ODI but as we all know a team selected with quota system could never compete on equal pedestal. Guys like Bosman, Peterson and Telemachus, just do not deserve to be here. And the worst part is South Africa has better players yet they do not pick them. Kevin Pietersen started the trend and the next could be Jacques Rudolph, who could be playing for England in a few years time. There are around 20 Kolpak players in county cricket and this number just increases every year. I still do not know why guys like Boje (now retired after shabby treatment), Jacques Rudolph (could be playing for England soon) and Dale Steyn is not picked. Well may be their skin just was not good enough. South Africa again just does not have players will killer instinct to win the cup. Kallis knows to play only one sort of game, Smith is too bullheaded, AB just cannot play a controlled innings and you never know when Gibbs will fire and not fire! Add guys like Boucher, Prince and Kemp to this list. The bowling is just the same. Pollock is slowing on his way to retirement, Ntini bowls his heart out but lacks much variation, Nel and Langeveldt are at best support bowlers. Yes the squad looks good but I don’t think they have it in them to beat inspired Englishmen or a New Zealand team.
