Sydney: Skipper AB de Villiers hammered the fastest 150 in ODI history as he led South Africa to a record-equalling 257-run win over the West Indies in a Pool B cricket World Cup match, here on Friday.
Thanks to a sensational 66-ball 162 from de Villiers, South Africa posted World Cup's second-highest total of 408 for five and then inflicted further humiliation on the Caribbean side by skittling them out for a measly 151 in 33.1 overs.(Scorecard | Highlights)
Leg-spinner Imran Tahir returned career-best figures of five for 45 to add insult to the West Indies injury.

This may be WI last World Cup for a while because they may soon fall in rankings below Ireland, Scotland and Bangladesh. Only 10 teams will participate in 2019 and 2023.
Thanks Cameron and the incompetent WICB administrators for accelerating the decline of WI cricket.
How sad.

dont you know WI is the cream of the crap (teams)?

Unlikely. Ireland, Afghanistan and other Associates are unlikely to get enough ODIs to make up the gap on Windies. Bangladesh and especially Zimbabwe have far more to worry about over the next couple years.
