Arf!

[Gingerfinch]

Game still alive whilst Maxwell is still there!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well, they are OK on the RR...

Bound to be a run out trying to get Maxie on strike.

RRR is nearly 6.5, so is Afghanistan can at least subdue Maxwell for an over or two, it puts Cummins in the position of needing to start hitting out. At the moment, Cummins is in test match saving mode, while Maxwell goes crazy....

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still on though!

[Gingerfinch]

Aussies favourites?

[sussexpob]

Still cant stop Maxwell rampaging on

[Arthur Crabtree]

Afghanistan learn a universal lesson. It's the hope that kills you.

[sussexpob]

This Maxwell innings is ranking very high on the all time scale, considering the game was done before he got set.

[Gingerfinch]

On for a double as well

[GarlicJam]

Wow.

That was amazing. In commentator parlance, that was unbelievable.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hate to think how excited Danny Morrison is.

[Durhamfootman]

has that put Maxwell in POTS contention? To win a match from 91-7 chasing the thick end of 300 runs and bringing up a 200 partnership with a bloke who scored 12.... and add all that to the fastest ODI in WC history earlier in the tournament. Stokes-esque (obviously not the one legged, which format is this because I've forgotten, Stokes of this campaign)

I suppose he'd have to single handedly knock out India at some point and even then, no doubt, the POTS might still be awarded to Kohli

[Durhamfootman]

Stoinis and Starc have gone.

Biggest shock of this WC.

Bigger than England beating Bangladesh?
