South Africa, the great underachiever of cricket. They have been labelled chokers and despite Graeme Smith's efforts to instil some backbone to the team, they continue to miss out on the big occasion. They are, nevertheless, one of the best teams in cricket today.

The gentlemen of the game, they are always timid in the face of victory and fearless in the face of huge defeat. They can swing from brilliant to farcical and nearly always provide high quality entertainment. They have managed to produce numerous good results (test matches), but have failed to maintain consistency and push on to dominate the game of late. Useless at the shorter game.
