Maxi, we forgive you for the golf cart.
Australia was almost dead and buried at 7/91 chasing 292 against Afghanistan before Glenn Maxwell delivered an innings for the cricket gods.
“Maxi was just out of this world. It’s got to be the greatest ODI innings that has ever happened,” Cummins said post-match.“This is the greatest ODI innings ever. It might be the greatest innings of any kind ever,” added former England captain Michael Vaughan on the BBC. Australia captain Pat Cummins was 12 not out but played his part by holding firm in an unbroken eighth-wicket stand of 202.
But following on-field treatment a still-struggling Maxwell continued to pulverise Afghanistan’s attack with a dazzling array of shots. “Really disappointed. Cricket is a funny game, it was unbelievable,” Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi said. But opener Travis Head fell for a duck, caught behind off a superb Naveen-ul-Haq delivery that seamed away sharply, with the paceman also having Mitchell Marsh lbw for 24.
