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.

[@sajidkas9503]

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.

[@theantrules6436]

[@bibsp3556]

It's bloody brilliant. To sit there in that situation, and not do something silly to take the game on yourself to try make some runs, while your partner is crippled and the team is in that position takes some serious discipline.

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)!!!

[@LifeIsGreatGirishArunDikshit]

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'. 🙄😏 🤕

[@Vedant-jq9cr]

[@ak47maddy]

[@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.

[@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

What was with all the leg side bowling for goodness sake, the wides the abject failure at batting. None of this detracts from Maxwell's innings or Afghanistans general performance.

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.

Towar's best innings in ODI cricket was unfortunately not recorded on camera, so cricket fans could not see it. Today it can be said that it has been somewhat compensated. Seeing this struggling innings of Glenn Maxwell, the blink of an eye fit! After 91 for 7, Maxwell chased down 291 runs with 201 not out with leg cramps, still can't believe it! This is undoubtedly the best innings during a run chase in ODI I have ever seen! Take a bow, Glenn Maxwell. you deserve all the praises in the world today. ❤️

Afghanistan dropped some easy catches, got complacent after 7th wicket, swing was also toned down, spinners weren't accurate, seamers didn't nail their Yorkers.
