De Villiers smashes fastest fifty & century in ODI

South Africa v West Indies, 2nd ODI, Johannesburg

Massive over and this is amazing stuff from de Villiers, absolutely wonderful to watch…

41.6
Holder to de Villiers, FOUR, full and wide now and carved over cover, four more

41.5
Holder to de Villiers, SIX, fuller length, slapped down the ground, hasn’t got this at all, is long-on going to get there? No! It falls over his head over the rope, the thin air took that for six

41.4
**Holder to de Villiers, SIX, length on off stump, smashed down the ground and into the stands!! There’s the record. A gorgeous clean strike over long-off, such timing

Six needed now for the fastest fifty record…**

41.3
Holder to de Villiers, SIX, steps across the off stump and lifts a full toss over backward square leg, another incredible shot, so far across off and helps it into the stands

41.2
Holder to Amla, 1 run, excellent yorker, just dug out on the off side for a single

41.1
Holder to de Villiers, 1 run, very full just outside off, whacked straight down to long-on

45.5
Holder to de Villiers, SIX, around the wicket, full just outside off, de Villiers slog sweeps it over deep midwicket and there it is!! The fastest ODI century. What an incredible knock

de Villiers cruising to the fastest ton now…

45.4
Holder to de Villiers, SIX, steps across the stumps and lifts a six over backward square again, bowler misses the yorker again and gets punished once more

45.3
Holder to de Villiers, FOUR, full length on the stumps, misses the yorker and this is swung down the ground, beautiful smooth strike through the line, only just short of another six, into the 90s now

Re: De Villiers smashes fastest fifty & century in ODI

What he is going to do

I am sure the fastest partnership in ODIs

**Current partnership **181 runs, 10.1 overs, RR: 17.80 (Amla 38, de Villiers 139)

48.4
Smith to de Villiers, SIX

48.3
Smith to de Villiers, FOUR, excellent yorker just outside off but de Villiers digs it out and squirts it past short long leg, that is very unlucky for the bowler

48.2
Smith to de Villiers, SIX, length now, back to pull and it carries towards the same boundary and just clears the long boundary and the tallest man on the field, Benn

48.1
Smith to de Villiers, SIX, whoops, yorker missed, de Villiers whacks it over wide midwicket, timed so well

Re: De Villiers smashes fastest fifty & century in ODI

Three short of his 150. 147 off 41 balls.

48.6
Smith to de Villiers, 2 runs, slower ball on the stumps, slapped leg side, to the right of deep midwicket and they get back for the second

48.5
Smith to de Villiers, SIX, full on the off stump, yorker missed, and it disappears over long-off, this is ridiculous, lovely flowing stroke, it goes way back

48.4
Smith to de Villiers, SIX, as good as the last ball was, this is pants, back of length, pulled over square leg, nailed it once more, everything has been nailed

48.3
Smith to de Villiers, FOUR, excellent yorker just outside off but de Villiers digs it out and squirts it past short long leg, that is very unlucky for the bowler

48.2
Smith to de Villiers, SIX, length now, back to pull and it carries towards the same boundary and just clears the long boundary and the tallest man on the field, Benn
