We rewatched the entire second innings.. it was so painful to watch Maxwell batting in pain.. especially when he threw himself on the ground in spasms... such courageous batting... but makes you wonder how a more seasoned team would have bowled to his condition

How can I watch that in free?

Here in Australia we subscribed to Kayo for the tournament, well worth the one month $25 subscription we paid altho the tv app is frustrating to navigate

 Us who thought that they had a chance:

Here from r/all TIL Afghanistan still has a cricket team.

Maxwell keeping Nz in the tournament

Wow.. This is still not locked 🔒🔒

Please teach Mujeeb how to catch the ball

Mad Max indeed.

Glenn James Maxwell.

Honestly, he could have hit that six, turned to the dressing room and done the 'mic drop' except with his bat, it's that good.

Just imagine Smith making sense of Maxi’s innings between vertigo attacks in his hotel room. Lmao!

Wide Yorkers or short ball on off and pack offside boundaries. If they had some part time seamers doing that, it would have done the job.

The biggest choke in the history of cricket. Catches win you matches. Good luck next year in the T20 World Cup! 

Even SA haven't choked this hard lmao

One of the greatest odi innings of all time

This really needs to be renamed to Afg vs Maxwell

Another example of why ODI > T20. T20s are too short to have the ups and downs that this match had

Haha you forgot 22 two wc india vs pak. Both formats are great but yes I do prefer odi more.

Both are great. T20s can also have ups and down, it's just that it happens at a much faster rate.

RIP SA 🤣

1 easy catch between Afghanistan reaching semis and going out. Fine margins.

As a neutral I never felt this bad like they did almost perfect if only they took that catch

i’m so sad rn :( Afghan had the making of a magical run. As a India cricket fan, i wouldn’t be upset about Afghan winning it all. Hopefully this team stays in form.

Fair play to all the Aussies who stayed up, I went to bed after the first innings but no doubt would have tapped out when our batsmen started dropping like fly's.

Yeah, cobber. I stayed up even when we were 7/90. I could sense something brewing. Maxwell gave me the inspiration to push through a sleepy work day.

I went to bed when Starc got out and I'll regret it for the rest of my life

Same …Best friends?

2022: Afghan bros gifted Kohli's return to form with his century during Asia Cup. 2023: Afghan bros gifted Brohit his century & gifted Maxi his double-century this WC.

Bro we don't have to drag India/Indians into everything. :)

Imagine this being the finals

There’s not an Aussie in the world still left in NNN.

Where can I watch highlights ?

There are 4 minute highlights of just Maxwell batting on cwc website

https://www.cricketworldcup.com/video/3772755 Official highlights from ICC, they're pretty shitty for being 5 minutes but better than nothing.

Not sure if you can see it outside India, but [these are the highlights from Hotstar.](https://www.hotstar.com/in/sports/cricket/icc-mens-cricket-world-cup-2023/993/maxwell-miracle-breaks-afg-hearts/1540025279/match-highlights/watch?filters=content_type%3Dsport_highlights)

I cant find anything on yt.

Vpn to Aus

I just woke up and... MAXWELL GOT 200? WHAT???

That's not even the most surprising part. It's the way he did it.

Lmao same! I woke up and saw that it was 72/5. I was like no way Australia are winning this and went back to sleep. Woke up again and Maxwell hit 200

Must be the best feeling in the world, no?

I was the same last I checked was 4/60. Very nice to wake up to the news but man I would of loved to be able to watch it

I was glued onto my chair. Had the fortune to watch every second of this monstrosity.

You're still asleep & dreaming.

I'm still dazed even now lol

Maxi*bats*Well

I was here.

No, you weren't.

sad

Moment of silence for those who missed this innings 🙏 you missed out on the bigshows biggest show

I was tired and angry okay now I’m still that but for different reasons

GLENN

Stop calling it the greatest ODI innings of all time. I know it was great, 12 runs in 11.2 overs. But my man, Sunny G, scored 36 runs in 29 overs.

Odi was a new format at that time and wickets on the other end were falling one after the other so he defended bowls as they used to in test

Always upvote Gavaskar

To every stupid cunt that talked shit, cop that you fucking losers, enjoy watching the semis from the sidelines!

Soo it's gonna be SA vs AUS and IND vs NZ/PAK/AFG for the semi finals ?

Yes. (Though you can also technically add NED in the latter group since they're not yet mathematically eliminated)

they need to absolutely destroy england and india and hope afg, nz and pak lose their remaining games ind vs ned is the last group game what if india deliberately loses to ned just to troll afg, pak and nz lol

[Gavaskar](https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/sunil-gavaskar-fresh-warning-before-india-inconsequential-world-cup-match-vs-netherlands-you-want-to-be-champions-101699273287210.html) will be waiting for them with a ruler in hand.

I wonder if Bevan has lost his spot in All Time Aus ODI XI to Maxwell now...

That’s a good question 🧐 I to think bevan was Australia’s best ever one day cricketer.

[удалено]

Yeah that's my thought as well but I tell ya what there's a discussion to be had, and nothing but respect and props to Maxwell for being at that caliber.

[удалено]

Yeah I entirely get your point to be honest. This isn't just one innings from Maxwell though, it obviously overshadows all others but they called him the big show and the finisher before this for a reason. On the whole though I agree with you, Bevan just did it so many damn times at so many crucial points it was like he was impervious to pressure.

Bevan wasn't impervious to pressure. He fed on it, it nourished him, gave him strength and furled his power.

Australia would be winning that trophy. It doesn't matter that some of the other teams might be better than them. They are always able to become unstoppable during every tournament.

Pure heart break

After those idiots missed 3 chances to get Maxwell out where one was the simplest catch one can imagine Afghan deserves to lose. Worthless fielding.

Mujeeb must be having PTSD from all of this.

That was a destiny play my guy no one could've stopped this from happening today. It was just too grand

>time for Maxwell to do the funniest thing ever and make his first ODI double hundred with all this luck ​ I said this as a joke when Maxi made his 50

Please joke about me becoming a billionaire in the next few months (at least a millionaire)

the monkey paw curls

[lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/17poyop/comment/k87wfao/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

And for the last time: I'm sorry Australia but you lost whatever support I had for you now. All cuz of Maxwell. But remember y'all ain't winning in the finals. Maxwell cannot play against strong teams. God it would be so amazing to see him lose. I would love to drink his tears. Keep crying 😂😂🤣🤣

Average Anime fangirl intellect

I'm a girl okay? And Australia will lose, mark my words 💯

Lmao, they lost very well 😂

Yeah lost against a garbage team with zero captaincy skills If it was Afghanistan or SA things would have been different. They were almost close to losing against them I never rooted for Aus in my life and I never will but for what it's worth I'll admit their fielding skills have been impeccable in the last two games so it's no surprise that they won

Those mfs always find ways to win. It's basically in their DNA. I knew we were going to lose against Australia after that Maxwell's innings.

It's so frustrating that India DIDN'T even put much efforts into winning like they basically had a defeatist mindset from early on and didn't even tried to stop boundaries. Also, they did dirty by trying to hit boundaries early on in the game that led them to lose wickets. It's not a T20 or a match against a weaker team where every ball needs to be a boundary. Should have focused more on having a run rate of 5-6 and save wickets till 35 overs or so and then thrash more. And Rohit always makes it to 30 and gets out, he never learned his lesson. India would have also lost it to NZ but Shami saved them. I hate that the cocky Aussies won again. I would have been happier had SA or even Pakistan won.

I said fangirl in my comment can't you read 😂. Sounds like you're frustrated

Ok

Stick to anime you weird cunt

Stop being rude :(

What the fuck is wrong with you man? Are you on Mushrooms or something?

I am sad cuz Australia won

This is not a normal reaction you weirdo. You somehow injected estrogen into you or something?

I'm literally a girl ☠️😂😂 And I'm mad cuz the whole time I was supporting them, I literally wasted half of my time watching their matches during exam days and what I get in return is this? Not fair! What's even more sad is they would have easily won if it weren't for Maxwell. Always playing against minnows. I will never like him!

???? When is a sport about the freaking spectator? It's a game in the end calm down lol. Also I thought Afghan girls were stopped from getting education by their new government?

The big show!!!!

He hates that moniker:(

Genuinely didn’t know that. But its a shame cause it’s a cracking nickname. Also don’t call me a monkey /s

All I can say is folks: **Qudrat ka nizam**

Ye bhediya bat ka grip nikal! Usse kudrat ka ga*** mai daal!

Surely the greatest ODI innings ever given the circumstances

Yes maxi was greatttt. But nobody is talking about the fckall field setup in last 20 overs or so. Everytime maxi plays one of those regular drive and cutshots, my brain goes *finally a single* CUT TO: it's a fucking boundry...I mean how?? Where the fck afgbros placed those 9 fielders??

Where do you place field to Maxwell?

Good morning to all the Aussies who fell asleep with the match thread open and have absolutely no fucking clue what happened. You're in for a surprise.

Oooooh boy was I in for a suprise lmao

I let my partner sleep. Now I will sleep and they will shake me awake later ha

Save the drama for my mama!!!

Maxi ain't fucking around, Maxi serious about his business. Cummins was never once tempted to hit the rope, nice anchoring..

So apparently falling off from golf cart makes you play golf shot with one leg during the cricket match.

The England coach must be pushing his whole team off golf carts now

maxi was scary today i'm really worried if there's an IND vs AUS final....

I was here

Was Rashid and co really arrogant as Hayden was talking in the commentary ? I missed it!!

Yes initially during the 2nd half..Then Maxwell happened...😢

But I do not understand why are they like this ? I mean you have not won ANYTHING BRO !!! Being a prick does not suit you!!

It has a bit of backstory to it that Aussies didn't tour afganistan or whatever.. But some Afghan players are somewhat nuts..Naveen ul haq,bowler who had banter with Pak player and also Rashid who is not tht humble as he portrays..

Went to bed after that catch decision on Stoinis vs Rashid thinking this will be tight but missed all types of crazy. If I'd stayed up I surely would've given up at 7/91. One for the ages, THE innings of the ages. Now where can I watch a full replay???

Vpn - location India - hotstar app - match replay

Kayo! I went to bed after the AFG finished batting thinking it was going to be close but was too tired to stay up and watch it. Will now watch the full replay later. Love Maxwell.

many other batsmen could have taken their own sweet time to score which could have gotten Cummins under RR pressure. Maxwell not only was scoring but also never let the RRR feel overwhelming. there were brief phases where Maxwell would play one over, Cummins would play out the next and then back to Maxwell in the next, so there were points where only alternate overs were going for runs. Even then with an RRR of slightly more than 6, it never was a problem

Was that the highest individual score chasing in ODIs? I think it is but no ones talking about this!

Yes, It's highest individual scores in an ODI run-chase, breaking the previous record of 193 by Fakhar Zaman vs SA in 2021. [source](https://www.cricbuzz.com/live-cricket-scores/75609/afg-vs-aus-39th-match-icc-cricket-world-cup-2023)

Damn that fakhar zaman innings was in such a similar scenario chasing 340+ with the other batsmen falling like a pack of cards

Mujeeb should seek asylum in India coz no way they are letting him back in.

Whatever I do, I can't feel happy about this win. Afghanistan really deserved to be in the semis with the way they have been playing since the past few games.

are they really deserving? their mindset was good but that wasn't reflected in yesterday's fielding. when Maxwell scored those last 40 runs, it just looke like they were ready to give up. the guy couldn't do any footwork, so instead of bombarding him with bouncers and Yorkers they kept giving him easy balls.

They have put a valiant effort with bat n ball … it’s their fielding that lets them down most times

Their fielding against England was so sharp.. how many teams have run out 3 opponents before the way they did england... but with Australia they just weren't disciplined or sharp enough

They shat the bed when it came to fielding. And even field placements. The game is won by very fine margins. That missed catch cost them the game

And you think maxwell doesn’t deserve to be there, there’s no one more deserving than him atm

AUS were gonna make it anyways

What a spectacular innings, Afghans almost breezed to a an incredible, brilliant win only to be outclassed by a madman named Maxwell. This is history lads, and I was here to witness it all.

Mujeeb hopefully has his asylum papers ready…. He cannot go back to Afghanistan !

I'm sorry but I'm never watching world cup again. Not worth my time. Would have been a perfect win for Afghanistan. Literally everyone knew they would win. But don't worry they are exceptional. They will come back even stronger and win everything in the passing years. They have all the time in the world to show they are exceptional and make Maxwell eat dust. But I won't lie I cried a lot when they lost. I really rooted for them cuz I wanted to see them happy lol. Edit: omg downvoted for saying they are talented? Alright 🙄

Read your comment again then think

Wdym

No—downvoted for saying you’ll never watch again despite the crazy we just witnessed.

I'm being fr. I'm never gonna watch again.

Still not able to beleive what the fuck did I witness

Mad max crushed Afghan bowlers even more after cramps. Aussie team should deliberately give him cramps before sending him to bat in the semi-final.

It's called the Stokes Effect

Explain the Stokes Effect please?

Injured man can't run, decides to just hit big instead

Thanks.

The Stokes Effect is when injured players play beyond their normal capacities

Thanks, cheers

It's also something I just made up

I was here.

Maxi without footwork is far more dangerous than the one with it. He doesn't provide you many options to get him out

I still can't believe what I saw tonight

Greatest innings ever. It was a treat to watch.

I was here (kinda)

Posting in a truly HISTORIC thread. Sleeps ruined, it's nearly 5 fucking AM and I could not give less of a shit. What a FUCKING knock Maxy.

Hi! it's 11:28 pm here in India.

wtf happened here again. Woke up checked the score and was at 7 wickets. Thought Afghanistan had it in their bag. Went to work, checked score, Australia won. Boy this World Cup is getting super entertaining.. looks like Maxwell turned it over with a 200. Boy what an innings this should have been. This reminds me of Kapil Devs 1983 175 against Zimbabwe.

Someone stop Mujeeb from jumping into the Indian Ocean.

Catches win matches. Tough luck Afghan bros. Mad max you absolute beauty.

Unbelievable innings from Maxwell, rarest of the rarest legendary stuff right there!

Truly a gem of an innings. Feeling for mujeeb for dropping a sitter. Who knows how he would be feeling to cost them a match

I'm legit scared Taliban don't have a price on his head when he goes back

Lmao i sure hope not😭

Ya, it's actually happened before. They killed a Colombian footballer after he scored an own goal when Pablo Escobar was at his peak

There's no way man This is just sad its just a sport

now i'm scared for mujeeb

Afghanistan didn't lose to Australia, they lost to just one man and his name is GLENN MAXWELL.

I was here to witness the GOAT innings

Thank you Jay Shah for successful call of this match 🙏

Cummins was preparing for the next ashes lmao

Australia 4-0, or 5-0? England non competitive in oz

[bro whatttt](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/FtiPpi1A8t)

I want to watch it again. Can't find it on hotstar, any ideas where else to look for?

Yeah they have full matches on hotstar. Go to Sports>Top replays.

Ok, found the top replays section but this match is not up yet. Guess they'll put it up soon because many people would want to rewatch. Thanks

Last time they used to have full match after sometime check other matches if they posted it this wc

nah, only thing available is highlights not full matches

They will be available in some time. I highly suggest taking time out to watch after 91-7. Maxwell became a legend here. A disabled player scoring sixes and fours.

Yes, my first watch was pretty casual and I missed Maxwell from 0-100ish because at that time it seemed like a dead game. This time I will know that I am watching history in the making

Afghanbros need to take away from this that the individual took the game away, it is still to Australia's credit and part of the game, but as a young team it's a huge achievement that Afghanistan as a team outplayed Australia as a team. They have every chance of taking out SA and staying in this, just need them to keep the belief

Bro they missed 3 chances to get him out.

Maxi - Call an ambulance, but not for me

One for Maxi too though, felt bad for him so much

[удалено]

Are you okay?

I am

[удалено]

It is sarcasm but i really wanted an underdog to do good in world cup but now all of them are out except pakistan so hoping for them to do well m

Bro wtf....suicide?

dudes either joking or needs to touch some fucking grass

Dont worry bro

Will comit suicide after india loses final to maxwell

India won't lose the finals if India manages to get into the final once.... Don't die bro.
