COLOMBO : South Africa's limited-overs captain AB de Villiers insists his side are not chokers despite tottering on the brink of elimination in the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. "I would not say we choked, we were just pretty much outplayed from ball one onwards," de Villiers said. "It's hard to put my finger on it. We started badly and finished badly as well. So, there is a bit of a bad taste in my mouth."
