&lt;p&gt;Indian fans might not have the opportunity to chant their favorite &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0ifSVeQOgQ"&gt;catchphrase&lt;/a&gt; any longer in the second ever World T20 Cup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=south+africa+cricket+chokers&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a"&gt;news cloud&lt;/a&gt; online seems to be full of suggestions that they could have a similar-sounding one for South Africa, if their &lt;a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/sk/news?slug=reu-twenty20pakistan&amp;amp;prov=reuters&amp;amp;type=lgns"&gt;previous&lt;/a&gt; performances in World Cups, indeed in any major ICC tournaments for that matter, are anything to go by.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And that was when they were NOT expected to win those tournaments anyway. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This time around, they actually have been the &lt;a href="http://www.dreamcricket.com/dreamcricket/news.hspl?nid=10874&amp;amp;ntid=6"&gt;favorites&lt;/a&gt; from day -4. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last time they went into something having been expected to come out winners on the other side thereof, they lost a test series to Australia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some &lt;a href="http://www.theroar.com.au/2009/06/17/south-africa-will-choke-again/"&gt;Aussies&lt;/a&gt; would like to firmly believe so, especially since the Australian team was unceremoniously sent off from the tournament. &lt;a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/sk/news?slug=reu-twenty20pakistan&amp;amp;prov=reuters&amp;amp;type=lgns"&gt;Others&lt;/a&gt; are pretty sure that will happen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But, looking from within South Africa, it seems like the chokers tag might be turned right on its own head in what is a factually well backed up &lt;a href="http://www.sport24.co.za/Content/Cricket/ICCWorldTwenty20/1356/ab914c3de7ec4f1d8ebac695a88f4bce/10-06-2009%2001-06/Meet_Proteas_true_chokers%21"&gt;take&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
