The South Africa national cricket team, commonly referred to as the Proteas, has also been given the nickname “chokers” for their tendency to have dramatic last-minute collapses in crucial knockout matches of major ICC tournaments. This nickname came about as a result of their performance in the semi-final of the 1999 Cricket World Cup, where a last-minute blunder saw them eliminated in a heartbreak match against Australia. This was followed by other setbacks, such as their exit in the 2003 World Cup, among others.
