10 Most Devastating Batting Performances In Cricket World Cup History

9. John Davison: 111 Versus West Indies, 2003

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J5LMNRfkvo In 2003, Australian-raised all-rounder John Davison turned the cricketing world on its head when he struck the fastest hundred in World Cup history for Canada versus the West Indies at Centurion. A record that lasted until the 2011 tournament, Davison reached his ton from 67 balls striking six sixes; stunning the men from the Caribbean in the process. However, this was as good as it got for Canada in the match - only three other batsmen reached double figures - as the North Americans limped to 202 all out after five wickets from Vasbert Drakes. The West Indians chased down the target in double quick time with Wavell Hinds (64 from 31) and the great Brian Lara (73 from 40) proving too strong for the Canadian bowling attack.
