CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AFP): Jacques Kallis slammed his fifth century in successive matches before South Africa's fast bowlers sent the West Indies crashing to a record defeat in the first one-day international at Newlands Sunday. Kallis, who made hundreds in all four Tests against the tourists, hit 109 not out off 94 balls as South Africa made 263 for four after winning the toss and batting in overcast conditions. Then recalled Lance Klusener and Makhaya Ntini both took three wickets as the West Indies crashed to 54 all out, their lowest one-day total in history. The previous low was 87 against Australia in Sydney in 1992/93. The margin of 209 runs was also their heaviest defeat in terms of runs, exceeding the loss by 138 runs against Pakistan in Sharjah in 1999/2000. "This is the lowest you can get," said West Indian captain Brian Lara. "It is difficult batting second under lights at Newlands but our effort was not good." Kallis and Jacques Rudolph (61 not out) put on an unbeaten 162 for the fifth wicket to enable South Africa to reach a total which did not seem likely when South Africa were floundering at 101 for four in the 27th over, with their batsmen struggling to come to terms with a slow pitch and some steady bowling. The change from Test to limited overs cricket seemingly had no effect on Kallis, who made 712 runs in the Test series at an average of 178. "I'm enjoying my cricket this summer," said Kallis, who said a difficult 2003, which included the illness and death of his father, Henry, had given him a new perspective. "I learnt a lot last year. It was a tough year for me and it made me realise there's more to life than just cricket. Perhaps it helped me relax a bit more which has been good for my game." Kallis and Rudolph started slowly, taking 70 balls to put on 50, but Kallis signalled a change of tempo when he swept off-spinner Ricardo Powell over mid-wicket for six. Kallis went to his half-century off a relatively sedate 59 balls, then launched a stunning attack as he took only 30 more deliveries to reach his 11th one-day international century. In all he hit six fours and five sixes, including two sixes off successive deliveries against Vasbert Drakes, whose last over cost 21 runs. Sometimes criticised for failing to accelerate when he has played himself in, Kallis said he had made a conscious effort to try to increase his scoring rate. "But it does depend on circumstances, how the pitch is playing and what the team plan is. The team is bigger than the individual." The left-handed Rudolph played an ideal supporting role, playing deft strokes to all parts of the ground, including a delicate reverse sweep for four against off-spinner Ryan Hurley, which took him to a half-century off 60 balls. Rudolph's 61 not out was made off 76 deliveries with seven fours. Controversial all-rounder Klusener returned for his first international match since South Africa were eliminated in the first round of the 2003 World Cup but did not get a chance to show the big hitting which made him the star of the 1999 World Cup. Klusener came on to bowl with the West Indies already in deep trouble at 32 for three. Ricardo Powell hooked his second ball for six but was caught behind two balls later and Klusener conceded only three more runs while adding the wickets of Dwayne Smith and Ryan Hurley. Klusener bowled with good pace and made the ball swing away from the batsmen. "It was a fantastic performance by Lance. It was fantastic to see him take responsibility with the ball." Smith revealed that Klusener had been padded up to bat for the last 12 overs of the South African innings, "but we didn't lose a wicket." Lara was out to a dubious decision, given out leg before wicket to Andre Nel when he jumped across his stumps and did not play a shot. The ball pitched just outside leg stump and probably would have gone over the top of the stumps. Apart from that, though, the West Indians fell victim to fiery bowling and some outstanding fielding, with Smith, Rudolph and Herschelle Gibbs all taking breath-taking catches to hasten the fall of their opponents.
