Official ICC 2015 CWC thread

Sorry you guys missed it. Some of the most audacious and incredible shots you'll ever see. True, the Windies didn't bowl well but to be fair, ANY ball you bowl to AB in this mood is going to be a 'bad' ball.

Insane to watch.

I think we need to bowl now like we're defending 275. Net run rate could be important and if we can restrict them to around 275 - 300 it will stand us in good stead.

AB now holds the ODI record for the fastest 50, 100 and 150. Mental
 
AB at it again! You'd think the West Indies would have a plan against him due to the recent series... But noooooo. They'll bowl length to the most destructive batsmen of his generation.
 
Seems AB does these miracle innings when those before him set things up. When things go pear shaped, its a different play
 
Remember the old adage "doubling the 30-over score," Sid Monga has found out that they've near tripled it - South Africa had 147 then, they end up 408! And the sight of AB de Villiers pounding his chest with his helmet after reaching a century was poignant!

"Bit of plain from the previous game," and he explains why, "the only thing on my mind is winning today. We are just ready to go and freshen up"

"Very enjoyable knock today. Foundation [had been set and] allowed me to free up. One of those knocks that [everything] came my way and little bit of luck here and there

"Not a fan of setting targets, had a basic plan, score of 300 looked achievable hallway though and we wanted something around 320. You get some days were you get more. Rilee played an amazing knock, I batted around him in the start and then freed up

People think it's a forgone conclusion that the Proteas will win. I strongly disagree. Even that stunning catch from Taylor, it galvanised the Windies. They are up for this. Gayle will also be looking to make amends for that dropped catch even though it cost them little.

GayleSamuels up the order; Ramdin, Simmons, Sammy&Russell further down. This will be cracking!

Nah. We have the West Indies number here. That AB innings is what you call Gayle insurance.

AB covers Gayle, Sammy cover Amla, Ramdin/Simmons cover Faf, Russell covers Rilee, what about Sammy, Smith(destructive T20 bat)7Carter ... forgettting Taylor&Holder of course? This is the Cricekt World Cup. WI can do to SA what Gibbsdid to AUS. bear in mind that SA have th epresent day Mick Lewis in the form of Kyle Abbott.

We must have more ODI series against the Windies so AB can break more records. :D

What makes you think Roach,Badree&Narine won't be there? It's impossible to make those kind of runs with those three there.

I think people forget we're up against 20-30% of their attack during the series and this game.

Roach, Taylor/Holder, Narine, Badree is a tough ask!
