Haha thanks for that actually, us being massive underdogs getting smashed by Pakistan after once again excedding expectations to the make the semis is a choke for sure.
So exceeding expectations but folding when the pressure is on is not choking?

But when Haydos made 380, the world record score at the time, that was actually a choke because he didn't get 400? :sarcasm:

Good to see you guys have got you arrogance back because your flaying a spineless Indian side around the park at the moment.
Tendulkar, Laxman, Dravid, Dhoni, Sehwag and Khan are a pretty good spine in my book.

We have lost one home test in 26 years to you...that is right...1. We earn our arrogance, you earn whatever one win in 26 years earns. I mean even Parramatta won a title less long ago than that.

No, we just gott beated by a much better team at the time. Its a choke to a degree because he should have been odds on to get to 400 and blew it. If the Steve Waugh story is true then I'd take it back for sure and that would actually explain what happened.

Eddie, why do you have such an inferiority complex towards Australia and Australians mate? We're the big brother, better than you at pretty much everything we both participate in across all walks of life.

Most Kiwis I know seemingly acknowledge this fact, you however seem to have some sort of problem with it.

lol it is not a choke at all. Martin Crowes 299 isn't a choke, he was unlucky not to get a deserved 300 but you would take 299 anyday.

If Clarke gets 399 tomorrow will it be a choke? no. Will he see it as a choke? no.

He himself has said it was a choke.
