ICC World Cup 2023: Glenn Maxwell's incredible 201*(128) leads Australia (293/7) to a fantastic 3-wicket win against Afghanistan (291/5)

[Cryin Out Loud]

Can’t believe how amateur this Afghanistan bowling is - they’re bowling to Maxwell, whereas they should’ve making him reach.

 

[soso_killer]

Never preserve your best bowlers for the back end when you have all the moment

 

[jnaveen1980]

To be honest the bowling to Maxi has been filth lol absolute associate level.

This is the nature of the pitch. Once 20 overs are gone it becomes a belter. I remember in IPL MI socred 195 in 13 overs when they needed to score in 14 overs to beat the NRR.

 

[Major]

he hits a reverse six lol

and no footworkkkk damnnnn

 

[shah_1]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[Kroll]

Cummins have to get going soon need 2 -3 fours from him

Nah, doing fine, everything is under control

Edit: Sixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Ali Active]

My My My

 

[jnaveen1980]

He is toying with them

Irrespective the line snd length being bowled to Maxwell is terrible even if we ignore the drop catches.

 

[7sins]

Wow Maxwell lost for words now

 

[Major]

i hope maxxie gets a 200. The best 200 ever

 

[FearlessRoar]

Can Maxwell get 200?

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Maxi.

Wow!

 

[Justcrazy]

Maxwell 165 NO , what an innings here , he looks determined to chase this one .

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Here is the big show!!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

78 meter six is massive with that shot

 

[rhony]

Haha..w h a t a s h o t!!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Time coming for Maxwell's miscue

 

[Smbhayi]

What a shot..

 

[JaDed]

wow Maxwell *Bows* lol

 

[Kroll]

Maxi brutalising the Afghans!

 

[Ahmed216]

One of the best innings in history of the game

 

[IndoorCricket]

ATG!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maxwell 165 NO , what an innings here , he looks determined to chase this one .

Wounded guys are dangersou especially guys like him

 

[7sins]

Wow another 4 common finish it please

 

[mosh101]

Wow Maxwell just wow!!!

What a legend

 

[JaDed]

He is able to predict Afghan bowling with ease lol

 

[Asif321]

What the hell

 

[Nikhil_cric]

55:45 Australia

 

[Justcrazy]

MXwell probably has played his greatest innings of his career

 

[sweep_shot]

Four. Six. Four.

Maxi is killing it despite not being able to run.

 

[Kriketer]

Who knew footwork is so over rated in cricket!

 

[Ali Active]

Even maxwell gets out rn it is atg knock

 

[7sins]

Azmat won't be bowling after this over

 

[Major]

what a single lmao

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Afghanistan don’t deserve to win in the face off this magnificent knock.

 

[JaDed]

Greatest ODI inning on TV , well done! it’s over now.

 

[sweep_shot]

MXwell probably has played his greatest innings of his career

Without a doubt.

This is actually his highest ODI score.

 

[Caved12]

It seems that Maxi has pulled something in his lower back and he is also experiencing cramps. Is not it dangerous to allow him to continue like this and lose him for semi finals? That lower back of his is just a shot or two away from completely breaking
Wow as I am typing this he just hit another 6 and a 4

 

[7sins]

Even maxwell gets out rn it is atg knock

Dont say it please

 

[Asif321]

So sad

 

[jnaveen1980]

Irrespective the line snd length being bowled to Maxwell is terrible even if we ignore the drop catches.

When someone attacks like this you are mentally shot. Especially when your best resources are travelling

 

[7sins]

Took a run yes

 

[Leeon1994]

Grapes are sour for some.

Appreciate the player not the pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

32 are needed from 36 balls.

Maxi is on 170*.

 

[MIB]

ICC should start one-leg cricket... It seems more entertaining

 

[7sins]

Rashid coming for sure now

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What are the Afghans doing here? they're not using their brains.
Maxwell is struggling to move, but they're still bowling straight to the stumps rather than bowling bouncers or wider off stump balls.
No one has tried this.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Greatest 200 ever?

 

[Technics 1210]

Quote of the world cup : Walk a run

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

This is the biggest choke ever!!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mujeeh has cost several games for any side he plays purely with fielding. This is probably the costliest drop in the world cup history.

 

[Major]

Australia's game to win.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think highest individual ODI score for Australia is Shane Watson's 185.

Maxi can break that today.

 

[Kroll]

chikaaaaa, yaaar what is going on?

 

[Ali Active]

what is maxwelll doingghgggg bruuhhhhhhhhh

 

[IndoorCricket]

Reminds me of Dhoni some of Maxis shots

 

[JaDed]

lol Another one, he might actually get a double ton!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

What a knock Maxi has played. Another 6. He needs 24 to get to 200. Can he do it? first double in the world cup?

 

[7sins]

Wow what a 6

 

[Leeon1994]

"Poor Bowling", "Pitch has changed"

Grapes are sour

 

[MMHS]

Max has started running again - probably the pain killers have taken over.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maxi hits another six.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol

 

[7sins]

Lol they are saving Rashid for what ???

 

[shariqnoor]

Can Maxi get to 200.

 

[rhony]

If this doesn't deserve a 200, nothing will

 

[IndoorCricket]

Damn!! That catch..

 

[saqib.rai]

If maxwell wins this, I can tell my grandkids i watched this innings live

Greatest innings of all time if Australia win

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cummins 11 overs 11 runs. That is another epic knock lol This is probably the best partnership in world cup history.

 

[globetrotter]

Without foot movement, Maxi is playing incredible inning

 

[Nikhil_cric]

70:30 Australia

 

[SalimBhai]

Daaaaaang

 

[Technics 1210]

If there is any match that epitomises the cliche - catches win matches - then this match is it.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

If Afghs lose this one then this will hurt them for long long time.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maxi is on 176*.

This is the 5th highest individual score for Australia in ODI format ever. Highest is Watson's 185*.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a massive lesson for Afghanistan. Never drop guys like Maxwell.

 

[Technics 1210]

Cummins 11 overs 11 runs. That is another epic knock lol This is probably the best partnership in world cup history.

Easily.

Cummins has played his role to perfection.

 

[Major]

i think we should start playing cricket with no leg work. Working out well for maxxie here


All the textbook cricketers are being put to shame here lmaoo

 

[IndoorCricket]

This is maxis night!! Missing stumps by a whisker.
