This knock was historic. We all witnessed something magical. There was no chance given to Aus. From 91/7 to 293/7 with 19 balls remaining. Cummins scored 12 out of 68 balls. 202 partnership and that last runs off Mujeeb 0,6,6,4,6. Super performance by Maxwell.

Credit should also go to pat Cummins. If he didn't defend his wicket well like he did none of this would have happened. Cummins played a much needed test match to defend the wicket and give maxwell the strike.

On a lighter note, Maxwell's today's innings might surely pose some significant problems for batting coaches... Many may actually start thinking what is exactly there to 'teach' or 'learn' in batting when it's as simple as 'see the ball, hit the ball'. 🙄😏 🤕

[@JMEAUS22]

The reason he never gets picked for test cricket is because the coaches don't like the way he trains. He is such a freak he can do everything the coaches ask without even trying and they misinterpreted that as him not putting in an effort. Sometimes a player is just that good.

[@rahulvinay2480]

That fall from golfcart definitely unlocked some of Maxwell's supernatural brain cells! My gawd that innings was out of this world 🌎

[@LifeIsGreatGirishArunDikshit]

We witnessed a swashbuckling T20 like slogging and a solid defensive session of a test match - both at the same time... What a lethal combo!!! Matches like these can possibly provide a new lease of life for ODI cricket (if ever the sponsorers/ broadcasters and cricket boards were pondering on its future due to lack of viable business opportunities)!!!

*On one side Cummins test innings goes on🥲 & other side Maxwell's t20 innings goes unstoppable 🔥* If we add both of their motives than it's clear to win and win...

[@SagarAbhishek]

Best ODI innings of all time. I haven't watched the 175* 🏏 innings of kapil dev made in 83 world cup, but this 201* by maxwell by far is the only equivalent to that innings and even greater than that. Best ODI innings of all time. 💫

[@sticktothefacts8905]

Not true. You got to include Herschelle Gibbs & Viv Richards here. Gibbs got 175 off 111 balls against Australia in 2006. Viv Richards 189 against England at Old Trafford in 1984 where he put on 108 runs for the last wicket with Michael Holding. Arunabha Sengupta wrote in 2016 that Vivs innings was the greatest ever ODI innings at that time, not Kapil Devs

[@SagarAbhishek]

@@sticktothefacts8905 Yes Gibbs and Viv richards could be included in that league, but Maxwell's still is greatest considering that it came at a stage like world cup, where one defeat could have landed Australia out of semifinals, or would have dimmed their chances. Viv Richard's was good too, but it came in a bilateral series against England. So, Kapil Dev's would always be considered as greater over Viv's one. No matter what some journalist says, as each one can have their own personal preferences, and the preference of one journalist could not be sticked upon all of the people.

[@sticktothefacts8905]

@@SagarAbhishek Maxwells no doubt is the greatest. Australia were chasing victory (much more pressure than setting a target), against a team who had beaten England, Pakistan & Sri Lanka, in conditions that were far hotter & tougher than England, and he scored more runs off less balls. I included Viv & Herschelle because these are the other innings in this conversation. Both of these were against top tier teams (Australia & England) whereas Zimbabwe were a minnow and barely rated as a side. You cant say Kapil Devs innings would always be rated higher than Vivs when I included an Indian journalist who said Vivs was the greatest. I did this to show that it isnt universal that Kapils knock is considered the greatest. You can simply say you rate it higher, which is fine, thats your opinion. But it was against Zimbabwe, who were a very very average team & hardly of the calibre of England or Australia

[@SagarAbhishek]

@@sticktothefacts8905 Zimbabwe of 1983 world cup is not the zimbabwe of today. You can read any journalist's opinion on that. During the phase of 1983-2003, especially in the 1983 world cup, they had beaten good sides and considered to be a team that others should be wary of. So, you can't say that zimbabwe were minnows or a low quality side during that world cup. Rest, i agree that Viv's and herschelle Gibbs' knock were quality knocks too.

[@ajcajc5429]

You must not compare a first innings knock with a second innings! This is the greatest second innings knock of all time

[@johnsonmcsandwhich6576]

Greatest ODI innings ever, Australia's first ODI double century AND he got to 200 with the final runs and a six while barely being able to walk.

[@RsR6969]

I’m old enough to remember Viv Richards 189 no v England in 1984 when the WI were 102-7 but this has to be the greatest ever given the match situation at 91-7, Maxwell being in total agony and on half a leg. Credit also to Cummins for sticking with him knowing only Zampa and Hazlewood to come. Wouldn’t blame Maxwell if he sits out the last group game tomorrow ahead of the semi.

[@delailama736]

Reminds me of Michael Bevan innings back in the day for Australia, even though I can't really remember the innings themselves, everyone remembers him for getting Australia out of trouble. Probably the closest thing in, somewhat, recent history for Australia is Faulkner vs England about 10 years ago now.

[@John_1_0]

Yes, Bevan was a great finisher, he had a superb mind for pacing his attack, picking gaps and rotating strike, saw him win many matches.

And what a game he played indeed ! For generations to come Glen Maxwell will be remembered as Sir Henri Newbolt's Vitai Lampada on the pitch in flesh and blood. This is the Cricket History's greatest moment ever, when its eternal spirit was personified farway from its homeland at a time that in the truest of all senses the gattling was jammed , the colonel dead, the square broken and the soil was sodden red; it was then that a cricket school boy's voice rallied the team to an incredible victory.
