The highest strike rate in a One Day International (ODI) innings by a batsman scoring at least 50 runs is held by South Africa's AB de Villiers. He achieved a remarkable strike rate of 338.63 during his innings of 149 runs off 44 balls against the West Indies on January 18, 2015, in Johannesburg. This innings remains the fastest half-century (in just 16 balls) and the fastest century (in 31 balls) in ODI history. De Villiers' innings is widely regarded as one of the most destructive in the history of limited-overs cricket. Sacnilk+2Reddit+2CricFiles+2CricFiles

  • Martin Guptill (New Zealand): 93* off 30 balls (SR: 310.00) against Sri Lanka on January 3, 2019, in Tauranga.Sacnilk+2Reddit+2Beam Cricket+2

If the next two are rained off and we lose the series, I really hope it teaches them a lesson.

They were so lacklustre on Wednesday, the whole match was timid and half arsed. Performances like that are unacceptable and almost worthy of losing a series.

Play with the intent they showed today, at all times. No excuses. I'm still angry with them all this time later.

England have announced their team for the ODI:

Duckett, Smith, Root, Brook, Buttler, Bethell, Jacks, Overton, Carse, Rashid, Mahmood

Bowling still looks so light.

A complete mess of a side/squad.

Jacks who was an opener and barely bowled is now 7 and a all rounder.

Smith jumped up to open when previously middle order.

Brook and Buttler both one too high for me.

The obsession with Jamie Overton continues when he was being used as 7 in the finisher role and your fifth/sixth bowler now he's a 8 or 9 and seemingly opening or second change!!!

Carse shouldn't be risked in such a meaningless series.

Why is Potts not selected again when he could have turned out for Durham last week instead of carrying drinks. Rew was released but not Potts!
