ICC World Cup 2015: Best Twitter reactions to AB de Villiers’ incredible innings against West Indies
Just over a month after AB de Villiers broke the records for the fastest ODI century and half-century against the West Indies, he was at it again against the same opposition. The South African captain slammed 162* from just 66 balls at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in a Pool B encounter in the ICC Cricket World Cup.
During his knock, de Villiers hit 17 fours and 8 sixes and took West Indian skipper Jason Holder for 64 runs in 2 overs at the fag end of the innings.
Here are the best Twitter reactions to de Villiers’ knock:

After getting to 55 off 34 balls (frankly pathetic), AB went 44411441122604114624442641266466 to finish 162 off 66 #gulp

If A finishes the work in 4 days and B finishes it in 3, so if A & B work together they will finish it in 2 hours coz AB Devilliers.

AB de Villiers clearly on the decline: that strike-rate of 245 well short of the 338 he managed against the Windies at Joburg last month…

There’d be no point creating an AB de Villiers video game. He already bats like a character in one. #CWC2015

I thought a cricket pitch had 360 degrees. AB de Villiers seems to have found another 90 from somewhere. Astonishing
