Pakistan got smacked at home by Zim and Sl in the 90s
Atleast we didn't lose a home test series to Zimbabwe.
Thread is about SA and India, and no the ratios are not the same.India and Pakistan have the same ratio of chocking in finals in ICC WC.
Pakistan goes one step further and chokes in group stages also. That is the only difference.
You have made an arbitrary definition of choking. Tell me what is your definition so that I can see it from your POV.Thread is about SA and India, and no the ratios are not the same.
Control your insecurity, India are the ultimate chokers, and there is no such thing as choking in group stages, only KOs, and India WC23 is the mothership of chokes.
Maybe my screen is broken.
@Major did you mention Pakistan in your post?
Seems to be a normal modus operandi of our Indian friends. Any mention of any weakness in India and outcomes Pakistan.
Getting boring.
Where does 1999 WC final choking stand in ranking?Thread is about SA and India, and no the ratios are not the same.
Control your insecurity, India are the ultimate chokers, and there is no such thing as choking in group stages, only KOs, and India WC23 is the mothership of chokes.
Then go make the thread.You have made an arbitrary definition of choking. Tell me what is your definition so that I can see it from your POV.
Sure, thread is not about choking in general, but only after SA and India, that is why Pakistan's legendary choking deserves a new thread, and since many of you want that, I will oblige despite my reluctance in bringing pain to fans and disrespect to players.
What about 99 WC? And what is your definition of choking?Then go make the thread.
Until then, India WC23 is the mother of all chokes. Followed by CT17.
Both these teams never managed to win a test match let alone a series in IndiaYes they weren't minnows please check their teams
I think it's pretty clear. Overwhelming favorites and undefeatable all tournament but chocking at the very last moment.What about 99 WC? And what is your definition of choking?
That is why it was the mother of all chokes. They gave up the match without even a fight. There was no competition in any phase of the match. India 2023 Final was also a choke, but nothing compared to 1999 WC. They were in the match for a long time and there was competition.I think it's pretty clear. Overwhelming favorites and undefeatable all tournament but chocking at the very last moment.
That was the most one sided final ever. They never had the upper hand, not even for a moment. Got rolled out for 132 and then Aus chased it a RR over 6 again the best phaast bowling attack in the worldThat is why it was the mother of all chokes. They gave up the match without even a fight.

You never called that match as mother of all chokes, but there are people who are ready to tag your teams loss with that label.That was the most one sided final ever.

Pakistan had defeated the same aussies in 99 WC, only to lose in the finals. So don't give this excuse that we lost to a future great team, when you were the greatest team at the present in 99.2017 was more one sided. Plus India got decimated by a mediocre Pakistan team whereas we lost to a team which would dominate the next decade and had 4 ATGs.
They were not an atg team in 1999 though, Sa were the best team of the tournament. The thrashing in the final went to make them future atgs.2017 was more one sided. Plus India got decimated by a mediocre Pakistan team whereas we lost to a team which would dominate the next decade and had 4 ATGs.
True. In 2017 at least there was a moment when opponent was getting worried during pandya's innings.They were not an atg team in 1999 though, Sa were the best team of the tournament. The thrashing in the final went to make them future atgs.
And 2017 wasn't a wc final and you still had no ball and then Pandya scoring many sixes.
1999 was perfect dominance, no Pak player stood up like Pandya
True. In 2017 at least there was a moment when opponent was getting worried during pandya's innings.
In 1999 there were ZERO moments to worry the opponent. It was complete self destruction.
Mother of all chokes (sorry if this is the language some posters like to hear).
Pakistan had defeated the same aussies in 99 WC, only to lose in the finals. So don't give this excuse that we lost to a future great team, when you were the greatest team at the present in 99.
How come 80 after 10 is choking?Mother of all chokes is having everything on a platter and 130k supporters and getting 80 after 10 overs and still getting humiliated. You cannot top it.
Good that you accept that you made an excuse.What's your excuse for Ahmedabad?
Such clickbait threads bring engagement, so it is fun. One should see it from that angle and indulge in the spirit of sportsmanship.I was wondering why this thread was opened.
Then i realised. India beat Pakista. Now India has knocked out England. For most people on PP that's a double whammy.
Two teams, zero wins against India in last two ICC events.
How come 80 after 10 is choking?
You are only proving my argument that on that grand stage they were still doing well for a duration of the match.
Now compare it with 1999.
You conceded that there were not choking at the grandest stage in front of a huge crowd as they were 80 after 10 overs.Lol you don't understand. Never mind.
I think sweep shot is reverse jinxing india. Maybe secretly wants india to winBased on what? Your dislike of India and anything Indian?
Haha kohli jadeja and dube. How in the world are these 3 still picked is mind boggling when you ha e jaiswal who just brutally destroyed England in the test series not too long ago. He also demolished some teams in odiHoping South Africa finally win some silverware. I really like this unit led by Aiden Markram. The Barbados pitch will suit them more than Arnos Vale or Providence would have. I think Barbados is probably the most balanced pitch in the tournament. Has something for bowlers and batters. You can get a good score on this wicket but also chase it down. India though are in some serious form having run through England and Australia. Eventhough they are essentially playing with 9 players.
How does jinxing or reverse jinxing work?I think sweep shot is reverse jinxing india. Maybe secretly wants india to win
When you have dube kohli current and jadeja in the team you aren't complete.I think South Africa invented choking. Unfair to call India chokers. They have just been unlucky.
India vs South Africa, India will easily win. India is a complete team. South Africa is not. Simple as that and with Australia out of the finals, India’s chances have never been better.
Wrong.While SA choked in semifinals, India choked in finals. This is the key difference.
However, the WC23 choke is the biggest of them all, because India didn't just choke in the final, they totally choked the tournament and Indian government.
Think you meant 2014 t20 wc where India lost to lanka?South Africa have only ever choked in the semi finals.
India are serial chokers in finals. WC16, CT17, WC23, and Test Championship finals.
Hmmmmmm.
Sorry yes, 2014Think you meant 2014 t20 wc where India lost to lanka?
2016 India lost semis no?
Again Wrong.It is obvious that billions of Indian are on edge, and why wouldn't they be? Burnt countless times in the past 11 years, and finally a T20 WC beckons them in Amreeka.
Would be a great send off for Dravid, though the reality is India could win the next 10 WCs but nothing will ever supersede the pain, humiliation, trauma, and mental scarring of generations, of the WC23 choke.
T20WC win for India will be a mere consolation prize like bread crumbs.
There are Indians in their 10s of millions (older generation) who still cannot let go of that Miandad six so save the time moves on malarky! Time does not heal, it is death that cures the pain!Again Wrong.
Time always heals every wound.
Just like it has healed the pain of the BIGGEST choke in cricket: 1999 WC Final.
Maybe you are right and not wrong this time.There are Indians in their 10s of millions (older generation) who still cannot let go of that Miandad six so save the time moves on malarky! Time does not heal, it is death that cures the pain!
I am referring to a generation fading away, and along with it, the pain.Maybe you are right and not wrong this time.
But I will not wish death on those suffering from the pain of the Biggest Choke. That is not cricket.
Jadeja can still be useful with the ball. Dube though is really bad. It surprises me how India have gone with him, considering the amount of young guys they have right now, knocking down the door to get selected. Rinku, who is in the reserves could have been a million times better in that role. I would have had Panyda at 5 (far better hitter of spin than Dube can ever be) and Rinku at 6. If you wanted someone who could bowl too, you could have gone with Abhishek and having him open the batting with Rohit.Haha kohli jadeja and dube. How in the world are these 3 still picked is mind boggling when you ha e jaiswal who just brutally destroyed England in the test series not too long ago. He also demolished some teams in odi
Then there is abishek Samson etc for jadeja
Or parag who can bowl
Lastly dube. I am not sure where to start with this guy. He is the worst and most uncoordinated player I have ever seen. He is like a huge pile of hot steaming pile of feces.
He is a big guy but has zero timing and power lmao
I think we all are guilty of that. Schadenfreude is delicious. Pakistani fans have every right to enjoy any negative outcome of Indian fans, no issues with that.This is typical saddist mindset of a person who enjoys others' failures more than even relishing his own success!
Death is not the great healer, because death removes both pain and happiness. It doesn't care either ways.I am referring to a generation fading away, and along with it, the pain.
It is a fact of life.
So when you say time is a great healer, it is not.
Not really, remember when we choked a certain team in Mohali and gave their fans lifelong traumaI lied, India are semi final chokers too. WC96
Literally there was smoke and fire!
10s of millions of Pakistanis get sleepless nights because of ajay jadeja and what sachin did in 2003.There are Indians in their 10s of millions (older generation) who still cannot let go of that Miandad six so save the time moves on malarky! Time does not heal, it is death that cures the pain!
You guys have lost the most semis in t20 wc history lolI lied, India are semi final chokers too. WC96
Literally there was smoke and fire!
Lol Pakistan has the world record of most semifinal lose in world T20.I lied, India are semi final chokers too. WC96
Literally there was smoke and fire!
Yes agreed.I think people are using the word "choking" deliberately and diluting its meaning. I think it is all to do with condemning a team (hatred towards them) and undermining the efforts of reaching that stage (reaching Finals/Semi-Finals) Someone has to lose a final or semifinal... If every loss is a choke, then what's the point of playing the game (1 team has to win and the other has to lose). I think the only time when a team has not choked in finals is when India and Sri Lanka were declared co-champions in 2002. Even Australia losing to Sri Lanka in 1996 can be called as choking is it?
I think Pakistanis are the ones who are fond of this word "choking"... They use this against teams (mainly India) who are able to reach Semis/Finals regularly while their team fail to win group matches even against minnows! Also they use it when they beat India in only 2 World Tournament matches (one was a group stage T20 match and the other was Champions trophey finals not even world cup).
This is typical saddist mindset of a person who enjoys others' failures more than even relishing his own success!
Even in 1983 they choked in sfHow can I forget, one of the biggest chokes.
In 1987, when under their greatest ever captain IK, Pak bottled the semis at home to an unfancied Aussie team despite being the favourites
In the 1979 sf, they were 176-1 and somehow failed to chase 290. Massive choke
I think we all are guilty of that. Schadenfreude is delicious. Pakistani fans have every right to enjoy any negative outcome of Indian fans, no issues with that.
I am only arguing about the holes in the choking discussion. Yet to see someone counter that 1999 Final was not the biggest choke.
You got to chill mate- it's just a game. Yea Ind underperformed last 10 yrs without an icc trophy but Ind will win quite a bit with the younder Ind players coming in. You dramatize the 23WC like Bollywood masala films lol! Cricket is played on the pitch- rst all is outside noise. Toss pitch weather home team home bias etc etc - nothing matters once you are on the ground.It is obvious that billions of Indian are on edge, and why wouldn't they be? Burnt countless times in the past 11 years, and finally a T20 WC beckons them in Amreeka.
Would be a great send off for Dravid, though the reality is India could win the next 10 WCs but nothing will ever supersede the pain, humiliation, trauma, and mental scarring of generations, of the WC23 choke.
T20WC win for India will be a mere consolation prize like bread crumbs.
We have no won so we don’t have to brag, I’m offending and not defending which is what this thread title taken from FB troll page is.(yes I saw the post with the same title).Yes you are getting defensive.
While Pakistan might lose to USA in a super over, India lost a WC final at home - nothing will ever top this, considering how the WC was orchestrated for an India, and Modi win.
If India win the T20 WC, then Indians can brag about their 1st ICC win in 11 years, after spending Billions on failure.
Why are you bringing in Afghanistan now?We have no won so we don’t have to brag, I’m offending and not defending which is what this thread title taken from FB troll page is.(yes I saw the post with the same title).
Pakistan spends way more than Afghans and USa too if your logic is money..
India may as very well lose to the better team.Why are you bringing in Afghanistan now?
You are offensive on the basis of underlying fear (of India losing another ICC final)
The whole world(who watches cricket except Indians) is..at best maybe Kenya aren’t.South Africa need to get this monkey off their back. The whole world should be supporting South Africa.
India will not play in Pakistan as long as BJP is running cricket in India.A win followed by an announcement that Ct 25 is being shifted would be sone pe suhaga
We didn't play under Congress either. From 1989 to 2004, we didn't play in Pak too, only under Vajpayee did we tour them.India will not play in Pakistan as long as BJP is running cricket in India.
Yes but the motives are different. BjP wants to hit Pak financially. Hosting India for a few games in CT will make a case for Pak to ask for a full bilateral series. That would be a windfall for PCB. BCCI aka BJP wants to retain the excuse of "security reasons" for not touring Pak.We didn't play under Congress either. From 1989 to 2004, we didn't play in Pak too, only under Vajpayee did we tour them.
Didn't play in Pak from 1955 to 1979 too.
Even if the INDIA alliance had come to power, we wouldn't have gone to Pak
You got to chill mate- it's just a game. Yea Ind underperformed last 10 yrs without an icc trophy but Ind will win quite a bit with the younder Ind players coming in.

Alss world cricket has reached a stage where every single WC- t20 odi test - will be won only by either of the 3 teams- Aus Ind Eng barrinng the very odd exception - atleast for the next 10 years.
Pakistan had defeated the same aussies in 99 WC, only to lose in the finals. So don't give this excuse that we lost to a future great team, when you were the greatest team at the present in 99.

Yeah, they were way better teams back then.Yes they weren't minnows please check their teams
Don't you guys celebrate Pakistan lose?? It's same for Indian fans.Nowadays only time Pakistan fans get to celebrate is when India loses. Tells u everything u need to know about the state of Pakistan cricket !
To be honest Indians really don't care so much for Pakistan. Except when India plays Pakistan. Even there the interest has declined. This time when the India-Pakistan game was on - most Indians were busy watching inauguration of Modi as 3rd time PMDon't you guys celebrate Pakistan lose?? It's same for Indian fans.
