Johannesburg - AB de Villiers took 31 balls to smash the fastest century in one-day internationals as South Africa crushed the West Indies by 148 runs at the Wanderers on Sunday.

The Proteas posted 439 for two wickets, their highest team total in this format, before restricting the tourists to 291 for seven in their 50 overs to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

De Villiers blasted a record-equalling 16 sixes and nine fours in his blistering 44-ball knock of 149, bettering New Zealander Corey Anderson's 36-ball century against West Indies last year.

Don't mind losing, but is the way we lost!! Very poor batting and shot selection from the senior batmen. That is why I say that WI batmen have talent, but lack cricketing sense and just cannot read the game. Not all game you can SMASH each ball out of the ground. Aggression with stupidity. When will they learn!!!
