Cummins is obviously playing for a 200!
That one didn't go anywhere near where he aimed.

He’s had better of fortune.

Sure, but to singlehandedly win a game batting is very rare.

 

[dadnlad]

they do - if they win, they're well in the mix for top 4

Cant see what Afghanistan tactics are here surely pace off

No idea either. It's very difficult to bowl at anyone playing like that.
Nice of Cummins to do a bit of the scoring.

It’s just ICC rules. All international cricket is 2 mins.

MCC rules allow the batsman to have a piece of cake before waddling out to the middle!

Anyone that brings Mike Gatting into the conversation will be banned!

Would love the Afghans to finish fourth but that would really just be giving India a bye to the final.

Double century in ODI finishing with a six to win the match.

This is an incredible innings. Could be the best ever.

Yep...

Amazing stuff.

 

[waspish]

Wow

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Maxwell needs to be drug tested!

Incredible innings. Stokes-esque.

 

[nmc]

Brilliant 201 from Glenn Maxwell.

Great innings but Afghanistan should have won this game comfortably.

Maxwell is a hit or miss player, today it came off brilliantly.

Can you ban yourself then? ;-)

The thing I remember most about Gatting was his reaction to the Warne ball.

That will hurt Afghanistan.

But sensational hitting.

That’s how to play when you’re 7 wickets down. Cocky horrible cunts but what an innings

We've tried that on first ball and failed

Notwithstanding the freakish innings, I think today has highlighted that, just like South Africa, Australia are vulnerable chasing.
