 Sydney, February 27

AB de Villiers smashed West Indies bowlers from pillar to post for the quickest 150 in ODIs on Friday but the South African skipper said only hard work earns a batsman the right to dominate in such a fashion.

“You get into that kind of mode, and it doesn’t happen very often, it’s quite a good feeling to feel one step ahead of the bowlers, that’s the main thing,” he said.

“You get a really good gut feel for what they’re trying to do. It’s part of cricket, you work really hard trying to get in, you work really hard to get some momentum behind you, then you’ve earned the right to take control of the game. Sometimes it goes you way, sometimes it doesn’t. I got dropped a couple of times which helped me really free up and dominate a bit at the end.” — Reuters
