Their captain Graeme Smith is desperate to shed the 'chokers' tag that hangs around the team and sees next week's Champions Trophy as a chance for the world's No. 1 ODI side to answer the doubters.

"Every time we lose an important game the word 'chokers' is thrown around," Smith said. "During the last couple of years we have been on an upward curve and the team will improve and grow stronger."

A lack of one-dayers over the past five months is a cause for concern for South Africa but de Villiers wasn't too bothered about the potential rustiness. "Our preparations have been the hardest since I began training with this squad," he said. "We run up to four times every day, attend net sessions, sweat in the gym and work on fitness in the pool.

"Although we have not played much cricket recently, training games helped, and I believe we are professional enough to gear ourselves mentally for this tournament."
