Tumba Bavuma reveals to Pat Cummins & Co.

Captain of the South African Cricket National Team, Temba Bavuma, has revealed that the National Cricket team of Australia led by Pat Cummins mocked the protein with the cruel “Chokers” sled during the final of the CPI World Testing Championship.

Temba Bavuma said that the Australians tried to put under their skin when they were beating and clearly heard the use of the unpleasant word “drowning”.

Chokers no more, South -Africa finally exceed the finish line

South -Africa is a proud sports nation and, in Cricket, has produced some of the older players of all time. However, over the years, the proteas suffered massive heart outbreaks and the big south -African could never put in the hands of the trophy.

There were many nearby mistakes and, despite being one of the most consistent teams, occurred on several occasions. This caused the “Chokers” label to be associated with the proteas.

Last year also, South -Africa received a great breakthrough when they lost the ICC T20 2024 World Cup final against India from a winning position. However, the Bavuma Temba team made sure to bury the “Chokers” label by passing the dominant Australia Team in the CPI World Test Championship.

South -Africa made history on June 14, 2025, as they ended up with the ICC trophy drought and won a title by defeating the champions defending the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

Of course the label of being Chokers, who came out this morning – Tumba Bavuma

On the fourth and final day of the ICC 2023-25 ​​World Test Championship, when the Proteas needed 69 runs to win with Bavuma and Aiden Markram in the middle, the Aussies found a “Chokers” sled.

Temba Bavuma said that playing against Australia has been quite different in recent years, with things that are not heated much, but during the WTC final, they were objectives of Pat Cummins & Co.

“While we were beating, we could hear the Australians with this dreaded word, stifle,” said South Africa Skipper Temba Bavuma to the BBC Test Match Special.

“Playing Australia is a bit different in the last two years. They are not so vocal in the field. They are still aggressive through their body language, through their skill, but there are not much talks,” said Espncricinfo.

“Of course, the label we are Chokers, who took place this morning. One of his players launched the fact that we could lose the eight doctors in less than 60 runs. I definitely heard it. Aiden continued to use (words) blocking after each more, we leave us -blocking us.

It would be great not to have to go back to hear – Aiden Markram

The hero of the WTC 2025 final, Aiden Markram, who performed one of the biggest test tests in history for South -Africa, said he does not want to hear the use of the word “chakers” for proteins. Said:

“It would be great not to have to hear again -this is safe. As far as they motivate you, I mean, there will always be external things that can motivate you, but it is not your sole purpose to play.

“Having done the job and literally doing the job and getting rid of this is an important thing for this team.”
