The fourth episode of Cricket Up Close on STAR Cricket analyses what goes wrong with the South African team in crunch moments.
Presented by ESPN STAR Sports cricket commentator and analyst Harsha Bhogle, Cricket Up Close takes a peek into the teams participating in the ICC Champions Trophy.
Though Nikhil Chopra, Sanjay Manjrekar and Ayaz Menon agreed that the Graeme Smith led team has some great talent, it is the crucial matches that let them down.
Manjrekar, a former Indian batsman and now an ESPN STAR Sports commentator, said there is something wrong in the South African team.
"You cannot put it down to choking or bad luck," Manjrekar said.
"They lost the crunch game in the semi-final (against Pakistan) after looking unbeatable throughout the ICC World Twenty20."
Menon, Editor-at-Large, however, said that Smith has turned things around for South Africa ever since the disastrous World Cup campaign in 2003
