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)
West Indies: 291 / 7 (50 Overs)

And with no back up keeper the role will fall on AB. Who. we simply can’t afford to get an injury.
@ MacroBull:
Morkel’s record in Aus and NZ is quite good. He took on average 2 wickets per match at an ER of around 5 rpo.
He may very well be our “secret weapon” on the slower pitches. Remember his success in the IPL two years ago on the slower pitches in India?
@ MacroBull:
According to the medical staff, QdK is ahead on schedule in his rehabilitation. May even see him play in the last ODI against the Windies.
@ Nama:
Morkel has been in great form recently though he was expensive in Aus.
Would be fantastic to Have Qdk so soon!
Night nama lekker week
@ Nama:
Morkel also did well in sri lanka didnt he?
GBS or any other bloggers if you find a video of AB’s knock please can you post the link here
Tks
@ CoachPete:
Here you go Coach…..enjoy

I know he wasn’t a scrumhalf, but I wonder if the Bulls can bring AB into the team after the CWC?
AB actually accellerated his scoring rate as he went along:
1st 50 came in 16 balls
2nd 50 in 15 balls
3rd 49 came in only 13 balls
