Sydney, Feb 7: South African fast bowler Dale Steyn complained Saturday that even though other teams have choked in trying circumstance on the world stage, it is his team which has been saddled with the "chokers" tag.

"My personal view is that, as I've only been to one World Cup it's not cool to say to people who've never been before that you're a choker. What can you do? There's nothing you can do about it," added Steyn.

Steyn who has picked up 151 wickets from 96 One-Day Internationals (ODI) is however adamant to break the jinx of not winning an International Cricket Council (ICC) -sanctioned world title and do well in the upcoming World Cup starting Feb 14.

South Africa kick-start their World Cup campaign against Zimbabwe Feb 15 at Hamilton.
