June 20 (CRICKETNMORE) If one goes by the track record of South Africa in ICC tournaments, especially the World Cup, they will find that the Proteas have never been able to achieve the success they would have liked, considering the talented cricketers the country has produced over the years.

If rain broke their hearts in the 1992 edition of the World Cup in Australia, a devastating run out ended their campaign in 1999. And over the years, their failure to rise to the challenge on the big stage has seen them being branded as 'chokers'.
