South Africa and the West Indies battle each other in the 2nd ODI, at Wandrers in Johannesburg.
South Africa has already won the 1st ODI, a couple of days ago.
The West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first.
South Africa posted a mammoth total in their 50 overs, their highest ever of 439 / 2.
Hashim Amla scored 153, his highest ever ODI total without perishing. Rilee Rossouw scored 128 runs off 115 balls and AB de Villiers came in and demolished the West Indies bowlers, scoring 149 runs off just 44 balls… yeah you read correctly before perishing, with 2 balls remaining.
In the process AB de Villiers became the batsman to score the fastest ever 50 (off 16 balls) as well as the fastest ever batsman to score 100 (31 balls – previous record was 36 balls).
The West Indies knew they would have to go full-out from ball one to get to the winning score!
Chris Gayle got out cheaply for only 19 and Leon Johnson fell for 1 run. Dwayne Smith was eventually out for 64 and Marvin Samuals perished on 40. The West Indies lost 3 more wickets and never upped the run-rate, leaving them well short.
South Africa comfortably won by 148 runs.
South Africa: 439 (50 Overs)

Glasgow 21 / 10 Montpellier
… after 71 min
Nothing special about Montpellier… they must have had a pox in Jake’s 1st game against Toulon.
OH YES! Keep the good news coming GBS, at least one more try come on Glasgow!
Windies 156 / 4 after 27 Overs
4 Minutes to go in the Glasgow / Montpellier game, Montpellier on attack deep inside the Glasgow 22
@ grootblousmile:
#30 ja he is a great player just a pity he is leaving end of season for Bath. Seemed a really nice bloke when briefly spoke to him a while ago.
Glasgow manage to get out of their own 22…
Canadian player, DTH van der Merwe gets Man Of The Match award… still 3 min to go though
Glasgow scrum penalty, on their own 10m line… they have an opportunity now for the 4th try.
Wow just seen that it’s 3 tries for DTH, also a good oke even if he is a Stormers supporter
Penalty Glasgow, in front outside the 22, they go for touch… seconds left
Montpellier penalty… tap and go… not back 10
Game over, no bonus point win… but at least Glasgow won!
Windies 178 / 4 after 30 overs
Dale Steyn’s economy rate is about 1.5 runs per over… very impressive
Glad we won, pity no bonus point, going to be tough to get into the knockout stage now, firstly have to beat Bath, who are playing very well at moment, away from home next week and even then will have to have results elsewhere go our way. Cheers.
Windies have lost 2 further wickets!
Windies 232 / 6 after 37.2 overs
Windies need 198 off the last 10 overs… that is 19.8 per over, every over!
Our 438 chase against AUS was unbelievable when you look at this. It is like the Windies had no chance, even if Gayle scored 175 off 66 they would still not get close.
I keep getting timed out when i post 👿
187 Needed off 9 overs… = 20.78 per over
Windies 253 / 7… only 3 more wickets remain
5 Overs to go, Windies 268 / 7 and need 172 to win… that is impossible odds.
It means 34.4 per over… hehehe
Blomme should win by more than 100, easily!
One can see the Windies never aimed to win this ODI, once the Blomme set that target… think they said if we get 300 we’ll be happy… let’s just get some practice in.
Even a 6 off every ball now will leave the Windies well short…
Can the Blomme stop the Windies from getting to 300?
Hi guys.
What an innings by AB! What a player!
Nice tweet by some cricketers after his innings. I like this one the best.
“I demand a DNA test of AB DeVilliers…this game is only for humans. #superhuman #WhatAPlayer”
Former India batsman Aakash Chopra
Pity the Windies couldn’t make a bit more of the chase. But then again, they didn’t have a Kallis in the change room. After the Aus posted 434, Kallis apparently quipped during the changeover, “I think they are a few runs light.” That lighthearted comment changed the mood of the players and they came out and chased down the target. The Windies players were down and out while they were fielding as they were doing some (neck) stretching exercises to see where the ball was going to land in the stand in the last 10 overs or so. Their body language suggested that all they wanted to do was to get the hell out of here.
Windies 277 / 7 after 47 overs.
… still 23 short of 300
56 @ Nama:
Pity AB did not get his 150!
2 Overs to go, Windies still 21 short of 300
Think about it, AB got more than half the amount of the Windies total… in only 44 balls (7.2 overs)
