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

[aukhan]

Afghanistan to win this.

 

[7sins]

Yes Marsh 666

 

[IndoorCricket]

Australia well on top.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Doesn't matter brother it's other teams fault you get what you deserve

All i am saying you can't project things based on score card in the first 5 overs.

 

[Ali Active]

gone out of no where

 

[7sins]

But he completely struggled against Philips other day.

Every good player have weakness bro. But Marsh is a very important player he single handedly won them t20 world cup

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mohammad Siraj stuff that was.

 

[7sins]

Marsh Throw it away

 

[jnaveen1980]

Every good player have weakness bro. But Marsh is a very important player he single handedly won them t20 world cup

That was under lights where everyone became viv Ricahrds. neesham, mithcell.

 

[Ahmed216]

New ball is doing a lot. Aus need to be careful for next few overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Marsh Throw it away

That was a fantastic ball. Come one guys give some credit to bowler here. It is not like he tried to slog.

 

[7sins]

The issue with Australia is they lost too many in form batsmen now and Rashid noor nabi yet to bowl

 

[rhony]

That was a run against play. Plumb in front and a very critical wicket. Brought the third man in and moved the mid wicket guy to the boundary. It was always going to be an incoming ball. Brain fade my Marsh

 

[aukhan]

Afghanis deserve to play semi-finals.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Love the way Naveen releases the ball

 

[batandballbattle]

damn big wicket!
labu will be in now to slow things down and add pressure...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Love the way Naveen releases the ball

Yea. People are not appreciating good things. This is as good as Shami/Siraj/Bumrah stuff.

 

[Buffet]

Afg just need to field well here and keep things tight.

 

[7sins]

For me this is the last pair need a big partnership. As Inglis Maxwell stonis are very inconsistent

 

[Devadwal]

As long as Warner is at the crease Australia don't have any problem

 

[7sins]

Marsh ploy was good to put naveen under pressure it didn't worked out

 

[Major]

Afg missing fazal

 

[Asif321]

Naveen on fire

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need technically good players to weather the new ball spell. But problem is Marsh sucks against spin. Not suitable in the middle overs as well.

 

[Buffet]

Don't bang it short, pitch it up even if it gets driven

 

[7sins]

Will there be dew factor ?

 

[Ahmed216]

For me this is the last pair need a big partnership. As Inglis Maxwell stonis are very inconsistent

So Smith is not playing. Why?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't bang it short, pitch it up even if it gets driven

Three quarter length is ideal.

 

[Asif321]

Afghanistan right on face of Aussies

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan batted very well against India.

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 43/2 (6.3 overs).

Afghans are on top.

 

[Buffet]

Three quarter length is ideal.

Correct, but I will take even overpitched balls if it avoid short balls. Ball is moving..

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have to face Noor, Rashid, Nabhi. How much purchase they get will decide the match. If they don't get purchase it will be even stevens. I still think it is very hard to focus every single ball and time it.

 

[rhony]

So Smith is not playing. Why?

Apparently he has vertigo problems

 

[Ahmed216]

Azmat Gillespie and Naveen McGrath causing trouble

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a peach.

 

[jattafridi]

Australia can’t win

Sad day for Ricky ponting

 

[rhony]

Man... That swing. Not sure how long it will swing. They need to get Warner when the ball is moving

 

[7sins]

Maiden Marsh was really playing on different pitch for that cameo

 

[7sins]

Man... That swing. Not sure how long it will swing. They need to get Warner when the ball is moving

Should have gone with Farooqi they were sure about bowling second

 

[vodafone_lover]

Yea. People are not appreciating good things. This is as good as Shami/Siraj/Bumrah stuff.

We've given them chip enabled ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

Maiden Marsh was really playing on different pitch for that cameo

He top edged a six. Put a couple of warm up delivery for fours. Other than that did nothing.

 

[baggy blue]

afghan is a much better side than what i thought. very disciplined.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Australia chases like this imagine SA in this situation lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

afghan is a much better side than what i thought. very disciplined.

They are intense purposeful. Doesn't show defeatist attitude.

 

[sweep_shot]

I have never understood why batters whine about sight screens. Drama queen mentality.

They should focus on the bowler. Whatever happens outside of the boundary shouldn't concern them.

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 45/2 (7.3 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good shot. Swing is reducing slowly.

 

[MenInG]

Afghanistan favourites in my view

 

[7sins]

Aus should play normal cricket play ball ok merit I'm sure ball will stop moving around soon

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warner wicket is still the key. If he goes then it will get uber tricky. Rest of the guys are not cut out to bat for 40 overs.

 

[7sins]

Afghanistan favourites in my view

With nabi noor Rashid yet to come for sure

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afghanistan favourites in my view

win predictor agrees 61%

 

[Ahmed216]

I have never understood why batters whine about sight screens. Drama queen mentality.

They should focus on the bowler. Whatever happens outside of the boundary shouldn't concern them.

Ok sir.
And what is a sight screen there for? To aid the batsman isn't it

 

[sweep_shot]

Noor and Rashid are yet to bowl. Their 20 overs are crucial for the Afghans.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is the match

 

[7sins]

Warner gone game over for Australia and afghantan can get net rr boost today

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Man

 

[sweep_shot]

Warner is gone.

Australia lost their 3rd wicket.

 

[kron]

Wow.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This could turn into a blow out like SL match.

 

[Ahmed216]

This is poor cricket from Aussies. Should have looked to whether this period.

 

[Marooned]

Australia are done.

Most massively overrated white ball side in cricket. People see them and see ponting and McGrath. They just aren't that bunch.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Great bowling by Afghan boys!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghanistan are truly on top now.

AUS - 49/3 (8.1 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Asian power

 

[Mockingbird]

Come on Afghanistan!

 

[kron]

Shocker. Naveen is underrated
Afghan bumrah

 

[7sins]

Australia should play out for net rr now

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Aus batting is very weak without smith

 

[kron]

Asian power

And they have done so with pace bowling not spin

 

[aukhan]

there you go...bye bye pakistan

 

[JaDed]

Aus are still mentally strong so they can win this.. but Afghans must be proud the way they are fighting.

 

[7sins]

Shocker. Naveen is underrated
Afghan bumrah

Why the heck is he retiring after the world cup for odis lol

 

[Buffet]

Perfect length, just keep putting it there. Ball is moving.

 

[Asif321]

Wow wow wow it’s seamers who have done damage lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they had Faizal as well probably they would have been 5 down lol

 

[deltexas]

I have never understood why batters whine about sight screens. Drama queen mentality.

They should focus on the bowler. Whatever happens outside of the boundary shouldn't concern them.

Because they look at the bowlers arm and palm and need to see which side the shine of the ball is and how the seam is oriented. They dont play the ball after it pitches unless they cant read the bowler

 

[soso_killer]

Incredible bowling. The ball is definitely zipping about. They need at least one more before the swing goes away

 

[Inswing]

Wow never thought that Australian will be reeling against Afghanistan
