Chokers tag will stay till we win the Cricket World Cup says, SA's Bavuma

The current South African team members are divided whether the chokers tag applies to them or not but everyone is aware that the narrative will stick with them until the Proteas win a silverware, skipper Temba Bavuma said on Friday. Despite having world class players at their disposal, South Africa have never gone beyond the semifinal stage at the World Cup, earning them the tag of perennial chokers. "I've used it a couple of times but you don't really hear it coming about within the team," Bavuma said when asked if the current group uses the word "choke". "I think there are guys who believe that it applies to this team, there are guys who don't believe that it applies to this team. "The belief amongst the team, that's the most important bit I bring up to just make sure that we're not kind of skirting around the issue that it's something that is there, it's something that will always have to deal with." Bavuma feels the team needs to accept the narrative, which will go away by its

Double blow for South Africa: Magala, Nortje ruled out of Cricket World Cup

South Africa were dealt twins blows weeks ahead of the ODI World Cup after injured pacers Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala have been ruled out of the tournament in India, head coach Rob Walter confirmed on Thursday. Bowling all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo and seamer Lizaad Williams have replaced the duo in the World Cup-bound squad. "It's hugely disappointing for Anrich and Sisanda to be missing out on the 50-over World Cup. Both are quality players that add immense value to the Proteas," Walter said. "We sympathise in their omission and will continue to provide all the necessary support as they work towards their return to competitive action," he added. Nortje has a lower-back injury. The 29-year-old seamer experienced back spasms during the second ODI against Australia and underwent assessments and scans. Magala, on the other hand, has a left-knee problem. Both Nortje and Magala were part of South Africa's initial 15-member squad for the marquee event. However with the South Afr
