World Great Chokers... south africa is missing big tournaments..!?

So far in the history of international cricket, the South African team has never won the ICC trophy. Fans have always wondered why the South African team could not win any major series despite having talented players and strength equal to Australia. Because they will spoil the knockout competition by creating unnecessary crises. Due to this, the fans call the South African team as Chockers. Today, not yesterday, they will dominate the most important matches since the 1992 World Cup.
No, if south africa is in a position to win, the rain will come and stop them. This is how the South African team had to score 22 runs off 13 balls against england in the 1992 world cup cricket match. Then rain intervened and the game changed to 22 runs per ball. Even this can be forgiven. But in the 1999 world cup semi-final against australia, south africa needed 214 runs. Nine runs were needed off the last over. The South African players scored this too and were in a position to win if they scored a run in the last ball. But the Australian team won as Donald was run out at the opposite end. In the 2003 world cup, a win in the league round allowed them to qualify for the next round. If the South African team had scored one run in the last league match against sri lanka then DRS would have won according to the rules. But Mark Boucher will bat that ball and leave it for no run. As a result, rain interrupted and sri lanka was declared victorious. As of now, in the first 10 overs, south africa lost many wickets and scored only 149 runs. australia chased it easily. Similarly, in the 2011 quarter-final against new zealand, south africa chased down a target of 222. The South African team lost the series by 49 runs when New Zealander Jacob Oram took four wickets when they were in a strong position of two wickets for 108 runs.
Similarly, in the 2015 cricket world cup, the new zealand team chased down 292 runs in 43 overs before the South African players made a major catch. It is noteworthy that even then the rain interrupted. Even in the league round of the 2023 cricket world cup, the South African team looked like a fire-guarding dragon. But in the knockout match, Sothappi turned into a water snake and lost again. Even though he struggled in bowling, he struggled in batting and got defeated today.
