Haha love the fist pump from Maxwell there for the single.

What the **** has just happened

 

[happy_eagle]

Greatest ODI innings ever ?

 

[kane249]

I'm just stunned by that, lost for words

The greatest innings by an Australian in a ODI

Greatest ODI innings ever ?

When you factor in the the cramp and he couldn't run

Hard to argue any better

Maybe this will teach you to listen to me, pleb.

 

[Hook461123]

Lol crazy scenes. Just stand and hit. 144 runs off boundaries

 

[Carbine Chaos]

We'll chase this down with 5+ overs remaining. (close enough)

Dare I say it.

That drop. Maxwell's luck. The vibe.

This has Afghanistan choke all over it.

Only other ones that spring to mind is Herchelle Gibbs in the 434 chase down, and DeVilliers coming in at 40 overs and getting a 150. Rohit Sharma has a couple of big double tonnes.

I'd say Maxwell's is up there.

 

[twadds]

That was ridiculous. So glad I didn’t pull the pin after Starc failed to review his dismissal

 

[KBLT]

I... I turned off the TV at 91/7.

What.

The.

Hell.

 

[kane249]

First double hundred by a non-opening batsman in men's ODI

[Bacchus]

The most amazing cricket innings by an individual that I have ever seen.

I had totally given up at 7/91 but stayed onto watch the last rites.

It has taken a while but he is ‘the big show’ now.

Class counts.

JTR.

 

[Bacchus]

What's dumber - Starc's bowling, or his not reviewing that?

Just retire.

Why would he do that when he can get $2mill with minimal effort.

I used to be a fan of his but not anymore.

*retire from internationals

He should 100% spend a couple of years on the T20 franchise circuit.

 

[Keys]

Didn’t watch a single ball

Thought why bother when I saw we were 4/52

Did look at the score intermittently still

Saw Maxwell was making things a little more respectable, then an outside chance, then a very good chance

Wanted to start watching but figured if I did he’d be out within 5 minutes

On one hand, very pissed off I missed watching one of the all time innings but on the other content in the knowledge we won because I didn’t change channels

What an outstanding performance from you be if the more maligned cricketers of his generation

Take a bow Glen Maxwell

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

That's insane

 

[RookiePick]

I went to bed when we were 6 down.

Doh!

 

[squashface]

Went to bed when Inglis got out.

Some innings by Maxwell, eh?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Holy Maxwell. That's insane.

[Astro7]

Aussies were getting thumped, so went to bed and listened to the radio - an English announcer was putting the boot in, saying it was looking worse than the Pom's defeat, a terrible and embarrassing collapse by the Aussies he said...fell asleep and woke up to news of the Maxwell blitzkrieg! Was more thrilled that this rubbed salt into the Poms wounds!
Love it...nothing sweeter!

Knew it!
