One word - guaranteed not to have been uttered by anyone in the South Africa team - haunted their entire innings. No prizes for guessing that word was "choke". Going in to this match today, South Africa were the only unbeaten team in the tournament, and it counted for nothing. It almost seemed make the result all the more inevitable.
"Choke" was almost the first word of the end-of-match press conference, and it elicited an embittered response from Graeme Smith, who sniped at the South African journalist: "I guess I expected that question from you," before conceding, "I guess we do find ways to get out of these tournaments... It's very disappointing knowing you've lost only one game in the tournament and you're out... That does seem a little bit weird."
It shouldn't feel too weird to three members of the team. Herschelle Gibbs, Mark Boucher and Shaun Pollock were there at Edgbaston in 1999, and at Headingley one match earlier, when Steve Waugh dryly told Gibbs that he'd just dropped the World Cup.
Gibbs's urge to celebrate catching Waugh was premature - he never had the ball under control - setting off the chain of events that culminated in that infamous run-out muddle involving Lance Klusener and Allan Donald. The match was tied, and South Africa, from a position of strength, had succumbed to a side that had needed to win every one of their remaining games to stay in the tournament.
The same trio were there - as well as Smith, de Villiers and Kemp - when Australia humiliated South Africa at the 2007 World Cup semi in St Lucia. That game was never South Africa's: they had been psyched out before play began, and there was no way back from 27 for 5.
Unhappily for South Africa, the litany goes on. At Durban in the 2003 World Cup, they made an unholy mess of the Duckworth/Lewis tables. Probably best not to mention that game to Boucher, who declined to take the single off Murali that would have put South Africa through to the Super Sixes. That was a ghost the team were desperate to put to rest.

00:00India are winning the toss, batting first. It's a formula they like very much.
00:03So let's go and join the highlights with the very first ball.
00:06We're off.
00:09A little bit of swing, big appeal.
00:11No, Billy Doctral.
00:16Races away down the leg side.
00:20Got a little nudge on that as well.
00:23In the air, could have a gully through the offside.
00:26Another boundary, two fours now, twelve without loss.
00:32Edge, over the top of slip.
00:36They all count.
00:41Full of length and clicked away, through square leg, good timing.
00:45Good chase here, it's four.
00:50High in the air, maybe save fielding coming, can he get there? No!
00:56Down the pitch, in the air.
01:02Fielder calls it, gone Graham Smith.
01:05Matter of fact, catch.
01:08One shot too many for Gambia.
01:11Just bolded that fraction shorter of the splice of the bat.
01:15One hand comes off the bat, nowhere near the middle.
01:18And an easy catch for Graham Smith.
01:22It'll be a relieved man.
01:24Gets the first wicket.
01:28In the air, gone!
01:30Easy catch, Pollock.
01:32An influence on this game.
01:34Caught behind, Antini has joined the party, he has got wicket number three for South Africa, the important wicket of Burinda Seewak.
01:48Has really put the Indians on the back foot, opening the face of the bat, they're very good catch there by Mark Poucher.
01:54Here goes Zuccapa.
01:58It's into the crowd.
02:01First six of the game.
02:04That's in the air, but is it over the head?
02:07It's dropped!
02:09And it's dropped!
02:10Didn't quite get hold of that as he would have liked, but it's racing up to the mid-wicket boundary, and will get there.
02:22Using his feet again, he's gone over the top, he will clear the man at extra cover, and that's another wealth of boundary for India.
02:31And that helps, and that helps, doesn't matter what the intent was, it's the result that counts.
02:37Nervous out there.
02:40And it's taken.
02:45India lose another one.
02:50Hard and straight to bid off.
02:55Then go for four, welcome runs, and it's wide as well.
02:59Ball doesn't count, and you get five.
03:07And four.
03:10The eyes are telling a story.
03:13And more runs.
03:16Came beautifully on the bat.
03:19T.
03:20It's been measured innings.
03:22He's measured this.
03:23Oh, yeah, he's lost it completely.
03:26And he's making an excuse.
03:27He's saying it came out of the lights.
03:28Now, that's got to be taken.
03:33No, it isn't.
03:36How did that come to earth without meeting a pair of hands?
03:40John T., watch out, there's a wall behind you.
03:42You might crack your head against it.
03:43A little bit of room.
03:47It's free is that.
03:48It bounces away.
03:49Two, three, four times.
03:51Boundary.
03:52Big shot, leg side.
03:55Sixer.
03:55Oh, huge shot.
04:02Six more.
04:05Gives himself room.
04:07Offside.
04:08All the way.
04:09He looks a player, Sharma.
04:12Scored 100 in domestic.
04:14He would have said, look at you field.
04:15Good luck.
04:18No ball.
04:19Front foot, no ball.
04:20Insult to injury.
04:22He's gone for four mid-wicking.
04:24Oh, we're into bonus ball here.
04:29Nothing.
04:30Nothing really happens.
04:32Scamper through for a single.
04:34In the slot.
04:38Heaved away.
04:39Not a maximum, but it's a boundary four.
04:44Nick.
04:45Gone.
04:46Drop.
04:47My boundary three attempts.
04:51Oh, what do you think?
04:53What do you think?
04:53I think out.
04:54I really think out.
04:55Once this slows up.
04:57Yes.
04:58Somebody's going to be disappointed here.
05:04Full toss.
05:05Swung away.
05:06Legs side.
05:07Swung away.
05:08For six.
05:09What a finish for the innings.
05:11Everybody supporting India wanted that maximum.
05:15They got it.
05:16They moved above.
05:18150.
05:19153 for five.
05:21In with a real fighting chance here.
05:24India have to win this to qualify and go forward.
05:30That's not the starting one.
05:34That's picked away on the onside for another boundary.
05:43That's a good start.
05:44And he's given in.
05:46It looked good.
05:47Gibbs isn't happy.
05:52And a magnificent catch.
05:55You beauty.
05:59Worth looking at again.
06:00Smith.
06:01Edged.
06:02Behind him.
06:03Brilliant.
06:07Now that could be close.
06:09Yes.
06:09The finger goes up.
06:15That's a good shot.
06:16He'll find the boundary.
06:21South Africa now starting to consolidate.
06:23That'll come in handy.
06:24Spain is a calm.
06:28Trouble waters.
06:30How close is that?
06:33The fielders think they've got him.
06:35Up comes young Sharma.
06:37Along the ground.
06:38Kemp is a yard short.
06:40Kemp is a yard short.
06:42The signal is out.
06:46Kingspeed erupts.
06:47I'm sure all of you, wherever you're watching as well.
06:50Now, how's it going to be for South Africa from here?
06:53Round the wicket.
06:54Golden first ball.
06:55This is mayhem for South Africa.
07:00What is happening at Kingspeed?
07:05Just beats the wicketkeeper.
07:06Welcome runs.
07:09Absolute godsend, these runs.
07:10Slick buys.
07:1139 now for five.
07:17Slapped away.
07:18Hits seriously hard.
07:19The man dives.
07:20But it goes for four.
07:21Morkel.
07:24Slapped away.
07:25Over extra cover.
07:27Goes all the way for four.
07:32Plays beautifully.
07:34Time beautifully.
07:35Four.
07:39Gets past.
07:39The man at short, third man.
07:42The outfield's quick.
07:44Back-to-back boundary, South Africa.
07:48Again, legs side.
07:50That's worked away.
07:51Again, between two.
07:51What batting from Boucher?
07:5312 off three deliveries.
07:57Hits straight down the ground.
07:59And hits all the way for six.
08:06Baldy.
08:07Nice four.
08:09No ball.
08:12What is happening out there?
08:14Silent, tell us.
08:16He's gone.
08:16He's gone.
08:17He's absolutely out.
08:19Get me a drink.
08:19Anything.
08:21He's balled out.
08:23Motionless.
08:25Down the pitch.
08:26Go on.
08:27Brilliant.
08:29Front runner for the man of the match.
08:31Baldy.
08:32Start of the car all over by the shouting.
08:36R.P. Singh's got forward for it.
08:39They need a six.
08:40They need three sixes.
08:42Can't.
08:43Stunk.
08:43Doesn't even look at the square leg up by a...
08:46I was a new beauty for India.
08:49India not only winning, but putting South Africa out of the tournament.
08:54That ends proceedings.
08:56Watch these scenes now.
08:59South Africa.
09:00Out of the tournament.
09:02India.
09:04Looking good.
09:05Looking strong.
09:07They're in the semis.
09:08These will be great scenes.
09:10Fireworks.
09:12An explosion of talent here.
09:14It's India.
09:16And well played, young India.
09:19Enjoy yourselves.
09:19You deserve it.
09:20You deserve it.
09:38You deserve it.
09:41You deserve it.
09:43You've got more than one.
09:44The house is shameful.
09:47Yeah.
