Temba Bavuma calls out Australia’s distasteful sledging after WTC win

Temba Bavuma stood tall on the iconic Lord’s balcony, lifting the World Test Championship (WTC) mace as South Africa etched their name in history with a five-wicket win over Australia. The victory not only delivered South Africa’s first-ever WTC title, but also exorcised decades of heartbreak in ICC tournaments.


Speaking after the match, Bavuma revealed that the Australian players tried to mentally rattle the Proteas during their chase by reviving the infamous “chokers” tag that has haunted South African cricket for years.

“While we were batting, we could hear the Aussies using that dreaded word: choke,” Bavuma said. “But we came in with belief, even though there were many doubters. Some even questioned the route we took to reach the final. This win silences that noise.”

South Africa’s emphatic win marks a turning point in their cricketing narrative, long plagued by painful exits in crunch matches. With this triumph at Lord’s, the Proteas have finally put the ‘choker’ tag to rest.

Bavuma added, “Here’s an opportunity for us as a nation, divided as we are, to unite. This victory is bigger than just cricket.”

The win is not only a landmark moment for South African cricket but also a symbol of resilience and redemption on the grandest stage.
