Proteas bowler Marco Jansen thinks its time to retire the chokers label after his side beat Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup semi-final in Tarouba on Thursday.
The 24-year-old Jansen was not even born when the Proteas suffered their most famous semi final collapse at the Cricket World Cup in 1999.
The scene of Australia s wild celebrations after they tied with South Africa on that fateful day at Edgbaston to secure their passage to the final, is not something that Jansen ever even thinks about.
Instead, Jansen never believed his side were guilty of the nasty c-word which would be routinely thrown at the Proteas in every World Cup, since as they inevitably bowed out without anything to show for their efforts.
Completely dominantWith the Proteas having won eight games in a row at the T20 World Cup, it was the first time that South Africa were completely dominant at a finals tournament.
