The Proteas involvement in the World Cup is hanging by a thread, and fans of the national team are not impressed by their performance.
We are not ‘depleted’, or ‘out of sorts’ or in a ‘bad run’. We simply have a side of non world class cricketers.
It genuinely is as simple as that.

It’s not fair to call the #Proteas chokers because choking in sports is what happens when you have the potential to win but stumble at the last moment and come up short. The current team lacks the temperament to win in the first place. They’re not chokers, they’re losers.

The time for sentiment is over.

I’m going over this in my head. Losing Steyn and Ngidi. Looking unprepared and complacent. Dropping so many catches. Getting smashed in 3 matches. I am not sure there is a single way it could have gone any worse. The public deserves an inquiry with severe repercussions.

And how does that explain the batting collapse. Excuses from the captain again #CWC19 #SAvIND

World Cup? Pffft. More of a Mzansi Super League man myself.

Did Graeme Smith just say Morris will be the Proteas finisher in this World Cup?
Boet, the team is finished already, done. It’s over.
My cat Meowsers could finish for us with the ball from here, it wouldn’t make a difference.— Ben Karpinski (@followthebounce) June 5, 2019
Gotta love the ex SA cricketers on twitter. They’re all so desperate for a job with either Supersport or Cricket SA that they literally the only ones going “Every game is a final now boys. We can still win this.”
????????????????????????

Who supports the call into a Commission of Inquiry into this pathetic Proteas side?
