Take a bow Glenn Maxwell

[delgarcon]

I was looking through the sports section of the BBC online and I saw that Australia were 50 for 4 in reply to Afghanistan's 293 and decided to watch the rest of the match, as a win for Afghanistan was on the cards. At 91 for 7 it looked all over for Oz, but what transpired amounted to, probably the best run chase you could ever see. Although he was struggling with cramp, Maxwell managed to put together an amazing 201 from 128 balls to win it for Australia. If you didn't see it, watch the highlights, especially Maxwell's innings, I can't imagine ever seeing the like of it again.

Fair play to Maxwell. I can't think of a better ODI innings especially given the circumstances (his and the match).

That's what aussies and kiwis do. Ben Stokes does it.

Was fun to watch but he was out twice during it. A catch my 90 year old mother would of held onto. And back in the day there was no review system so he would be out lbw too. Just stirring. He is a stand out batsman at the moment and is a lucky husband too.

A truly amazing innings and that's from a Pom! Can't see anyone beating India though in their own backyard although the Aussies are looking good after a poor start. I'm dreading keeping an eye on the England v Netherlands game later this afternoon....

Recruit a few more kiwis and south africans into your team
