loving watching South Africa batting against West Indies in the 2nd ODI at Johannesburg.

A.B. de VILLIERS 104* (31 balls, 8 fours, 10 sixes)

The fastest ODI century in history!

383-1 (46 overs)

Dwayne Smith goes for 6 6 4 6 6 2 all to A.B. de Villiers in the 49th over.

AB equals that highest number of SIXES (16) in an ODI innings.

WOW :clap2:

Crikey, That is an appalling clattering for the Windies.

South Africa should drop this Rossouw chap for slow scoring, they might have had a defendable score if he hadn't dithered.

It's all getting a little bit silly though isn't it. Not a week goes by where someone is smashing a new record for a century or double tonne and I can't help but feel it's making a mockery of the game in some way.

The most curious thing..
Miller OUT - nought not out in no balls faced - disgraceful, playing for his average above the team.

What's making a mockery of the game is the misguided foolishness that exists within the echelons of the England coaching set up where they still believe that 260/80 is a good par score that will win you the game 70% of the time. We're making a mockery of the game by not going to the party of trying to win games.

WIndies (Smith and Gayle) having a GO!

13 off the first over (including a recall for a catch off a no ball).
