This game was played in India. The temp was high all day and humidity was maxed. Glenn had just fielded for 4 hours and now he is batting for a long period. Hence the cramping.
As a 47 year old Aussie man who has followed cricket since I can remember .. this innings is in the top 5 of all time for me. It was unbelievable, I literally could not believe what I was watching! ❤🎉
The "golf cart" accident - Maxwell fell off the back of a cart and was concussed. The other thing, and for context, this was the game to qualify for the World Cup semifinals and they went to win the tournament - and they were all but gone at one stage
@@RealFansSports Is the only double century in one day international history that didn't come from an opening batsman. And Maxwell doesn't bat at 3 or 4 or 5 either... he's at 6. Insane!
@@AScottInChina-ug5iy idk if it is the best batting performance in all forms of the game, it was ugly, and he played with soooo much luck, definitely one of the gutsiest right next to Graham Smith's innings over a decade ago, but it's definitely the biggest slog fest I've ever seen! Not best performance or innings, just in my lifetime, from the 70s to sandpaper, and there are just too many outstanding, nail-biting and classy innings to compare imo . Lol and let's face it, Australia was playing against the cricket might of Afghanistan 😂 really shouldn't have been 9 for at that stage of the game against them, even in the sub continent🤔
@@nedesnikderpherder7529 Definitely one of the gutsiest, I will agree with that!! As for the ugliest, I can't honestly comment on that!! I'm living in China, and didn't see the whole innings, only the highlights package on RUclips, so I'll give you that one due to lack of knowledge!! As for only playing Afghanistan, I beg to disagree. If they are playing in the world cup, they have made it to a certain level to get there. But as far as I'm concerned, Test cricket is true cricket!! Both one day and 20/20, I'm happy to see it played as a slog fest!! I watch the two short forms as entertainment, and watch test match cricket as sport!! And from that perspective, I maintain it was certainly one of the best!!
@@RealFansSports He may have scored only 12 but he did his job by just sticking in the game. Had he gotten out it would been easier to get upcoming 2 batsmen as their primary roles in the team are of bowling so batting isn't what you expect from lower order batsmen. So his 12 is crucial as he stuck around and didn't gave away his wicket which gave more security to Maxwell that he ain't losing partners at the other end while trying the chase the target down all by himself.
I doubt u guys know this, but USA will actually be jointly hosting the T20 cricket world cup this year, with matches scheduled in Florida, New york state, and Texas. I suggest you should check out the schedule for matches and see if you can get tickets to any of them. It's t20 format so one match will be roughly 4-5 hours and it will involve lot's of big moments. Especially if you watch a match of some big teams like India, Australia, South Africa, England to name a few. Just a suggestion. Maybe u can vlog it up as well !!
@@ZainUlAbideen804 Are you suggesting South Africa is not a tier one cricket nation?Who gives a shit about how many world cups they have or haven't won.
You should checkout Dean Jones 200 in India. It was so hot that it was reported that Dean Jones could have died he was so severely dehydrated. The gutsiest performance of all time in any sport
Funfact: One of the major reasons for him not retiring himself out was because to go back to the dressing room, he would have to climb 25 staircases Which in no world was he willing to do😂
This was the greatest innings of all time hands down when Australia were 91 for 7 i turned off the tv because i thought game over but i was watching a tv show on mobile but kept on checking scores then i turned on tv and he was smacking and i yelled what have you done you savage m*******f***
The bowlers were not able to bowl fast enough to aim at the batter's body. If the ball is slower than it gets easier to hit than the ones he actually hit. Plus the bowlers of Afghanistan were spooked and hence actually lost theor confidence. This was a truly amazing batting (at bat) performance. The other batter (Cummins) was the captain of Australian team and he actually did a wonderful job of hanging in there to ensure Maxwell is able to get the win
Cummins, a bowler, was a big part of that, as you see in the stats at the end he faced 68 balls without getting out. the next highest was the opening batsmen Warner who faced 29. Watching it live was amazing, being so tense for hours every time Cummins had to face a ball after 7 others got out before him, or not knowing if Maxwell would even be able to keep going.
You gotta remember Indian temperatures were hot usually 36 Celsius and up humidity around 80% and up ,Afghanistan were knocking off all the big guns on spinners pitch .😮
My guy at this time Aus was sitting on 3rd they were in a comfortable position. The only team which would've been out of playoffs was New zealand if Afg would've won
The cramp rule has changed. The old rule was a batter could have a "runner", somebody who was already out to run for him. But thanks to a rather tubby Sri Lankan skipper who used to take advantage of that rule when he got a bit tired (when he got to 30 odd 😂) the rule has changed. You can only have a runner now if it's an external injury. As far as time goes there is no set amount but if the umpires deem it's taking too long they will ask the player to leave the field retired hurt or get on with it. Unlike other sports after a batsman leaves the field retired hurt he can only return after the fall of another wicket so it's not a substitution rule. The only substitution rule in cricket at the highest level is the new concussion rule where a concussed player may be replaced with a like player in the next innings.
Shout out to you two guys who have taken the time and made an effort to learn about about a different sport, foreign to your country. Thats impressive!
Everyone was cheering for Head and Cummins but Maxwell kept them in the WC Race. For me this Incredible performance was the only thing equals to Kapil Dev's 175 in 1983. ❤ Bigshow

@@mrgoono9264 stfu. IPL is the top valuable national league in the world. No one thinks it's a practice match. Even Maxwell played last season very well. But he said due to mental issues he didn't play well this season.
20 Over world cricket cup starting June 1 2024 USA v CANADA. The best on Earth on display. (ex first class umpire here) This game was extreme heat and humidity and other players left the field and struggled throughout the game. It's not 2 hours, a typical 50 over match lasts between 7 and 8 hours. Test matches are minimum 6 hours per day x up to 5 days Yes there are detailed rules about treatment on field etc but each tournament has its own circumstances and rules. LAWS of the game define how to play cricket and do not change. RULES are match or tournament or league specific and can change depending on circumstances. Very much like NFL is the same game as College Football but the rules details are different. Also not mentioned was the situation of this game. ALL the best batsmen were already out. At 7 out for 98 runs chasing 292 would normally be considered a formality to win for Afghanistan. Australia losing this game and they may not qualify for the next round of the world cup a week later. Many in the crowd would be on their way home by this stage as the game is effectively over. It was a unique innings. There has never been an innings like it and I would not expect to see anything like that again in my lifetime. Reacting to a reaction video - Our civilization is dead.... I am watching it and entertained. OMG the shame 😰
Thanks for the insight! That helps a lot for us to understand. It was definitely a great moment! Lmao! Funnily enough we didn’t want to react to this version because of that 😂 but when we reacted to just the highlights it instantly got blocked and the person who requested this really wanted us to do it 😂😂 so we had to find a way to
I've never seen a batter get cramp like this and go on much longer. Usually they're done once cramps set in. Maxwell would have fielded 4 hours, I think he did bowl and then batted for 2 hours.. Just mind boggling.
They can't bowl to him on the body because in Cricket, leg side is the strongest side for the batsman, the idea is to get the ball as further away from hitting arc as possible.. If they bowled on his body, he would literally wack them over the legside everytime without even needing to move with or without legs
The workload he had in this one match, ufffffff....field for 40 overs, bowl 10 overs and then bat for almost 50 overs, the amount of work he did on the field, its like someone like Ronaldo's workload in an entire season....since, this was a do or die match, he had to do it, or else they would be out of the tournament...but eventually, they won the tournament...so in short, Maxwell won the worldcup single handedly
9fa and 200 runs down all Aussies were about to go to sleep but he hit 201 in a 202 partnership without moving his legs and he had a seizure half way through with his spine spasming but he played through it
Love the reactions of one of the greatest odi innnings! Allow me to explain, he suffered cramp a little but he needs to be out there! They were 91-7 to 292-7 amazing comeback! In case you didn't know, batting at no.6 in odi is very rare and get less opportunities to bat for 50 overs! I watched this whole match and i never thought maxwell get a double hundred at no.6 position. Double hundreds are very rare to get in odi, they have either open the batting or bat at no.3
You're generally allowed between 3-5 minutes for that medical treatment- maybe more. If it's something like a broken bone, then the batsman can remove himself- it's called retiring hurt. In any casse, retiiring hurt is the batsman's choice.
By hitting boundaries, he doesn’t need to actually run. If the ball hits the ground before the boundary, that’s 4. If it goes over the boundary on the full that’s 6.
Before this match If you had make a movie doing everything exactly which happened in this match People would've laughed at the movie calling it unrealistic
there's another vid that follows on with this effort, not sure of name of vid, but he was asked about it by press and gave a good bit of insight into how it was for him
Great commentary guys, but you have to understand that Afghanistan haven't been playing internationally for very long so haven't really got the skills to put a team like Australia (which is their national game) away. They had their chances and this is what happens. Another point is that in a one day international (50 overs) if your team doesn't make 300 runs or better you will probably lose.
It’s different, but harder is not relative, it’s an opinion. Both games have different aspects that are harder than that of the other sport. For instance batting is harder in baseball than cricket. Catching a ball is harder in cricket than baseball, fielding in baseball is harder than fielding in cricket because there are more decision to make based off of what scenario you are in or what bases are filled.
There's a couple of reasons not to go at the body... first for a body line ball to be effective you usually need to bounce it high. Glenn Maxwell is ordinarily EXTREMELY good at balls on the legside (which your body is at - it's legside of the stumps right). He has more shots than anyone else in cricket and he is an extremely strong legside player. Secondly, in ODIs, you have limits to how short so Glenn knows once you've done your legside short ball, you aren't allowed to bowl it again. You are removing the threat of using the ball from the rest of the over because he knows it's a no-ball if you do it. Now would it change when Glenn is massively cramping... well he still scored basically everything on the legside anyway. I don't think Afg had a good enough bodyline bowler to trouble Maxwell. You really need a 150+kph bowler to pull that off with how good his eye was at that game. Finally remember you are seeing the highlights... there were a lot of balls you didn't see. They probably did try quite a lot of things against him that you didn't see.
I remember watching this match live.. And I keep complaining about it on TV that AFG bowlers should bowl on wider length so that he can't reach it.. Its a very common tactic for bowlers who face with a batsman with cramps.. And AFG bowlers didn't do it
the other thing to mention is that he was only allowed so many medical stoppages so he had to either just keep going without help or retire hurt. an absolutely ludicrous achievement
You talked about the bowlers trying to make him move, but in the One Day (50 over) Game the bowlers are limited too where they can bowl the ball. It cannot go behind the legs (ON SIDE) as this will be called a Wide, add 1 run to the score and have to be re-bowled. On the other side (OFF SIDE) the ball has to be bowled no further than than halfway from the centre stump to the White line (Return) on the edge of the pitch, That distance is 1.32 metres or 4 1/3 feet, so half of that. Once again, if it is further away it will be a Wide and 1 run to the score and have to be re-bowled. It is a rule that gives the batsman the advantage, but it also requires the bowler to be super accurate so as to limit the batmans ability to score.
This was the match which took the world cup away from India. If Australia would have lost that match, they would have been out of the world cup, but they won the match and eventually beat India in the finals to win the cup.
So it is important to know the context. Australia had already lost to South Africa and India in the earlier rounds of the World Cup. If they loose this match they are out before the finals. Afghanistan is a minnow cricket country and had little chance to beat Australia, but when they did the "impossible," and scored 291 runs, people started thinking this might be Australia's worst ever upset. When Stoinis was batting with Maxwell there seemed some sense that Australia could still pull off the win and save their tournament, unless make it to the finals. They had come together at 5/69 in the 14th over of a 50 over match. That was ridiculous, with Head, Warner, Marsh and co already out the batting stocks were getting thin. When Stoinis went after just 2 overs, as an Aussie I was sick to my stomach. The shame, the horror, the indignity of being knocked out of the world cup by a minnow was staring us all in the face. When Starc came and went in just 11 balls it seemed like a back rub with razor blades would be more enjoyable. Then this happened.... and Australia went on and won the World Cup - thank you Maxie you are in a league of your own.
@@tonystarkelonmusk2083 well, what are you talking about mate😂. Cricket ball is thrown back because a newer ball swings the most and as the ball get older it doesn't swing at all at one point. The ball is thrown back so that it is fair.
They were not going easy on him he pressurized them into it Its a nerve game specially at world stage and young new bowlers loss it pretty quickly when it comes to it😂
13:36 I used to play cricket myself at a u-11 to u-15 level, and it's not easy, under the amount of pressure the bowlers were under, to pitch the ball exactly where you want. Also, these balls maxwell were slaughtering were good balls. He was just a better batsman.
😂 tf you talking about. A newer ball swings the most and an old enough ball doesn't swing at all. The ball is thrown back to make it far for the teams.
The reason they don't aim at his legs is that if they miss just slightly it's a wide and also if he just glances it fine it's probably going to be four. Bowling at a competent batsman's pads is never a good idea - you cut your teeth picking up runs from that line. And Glen Maxwell is very, very good off his pads.
Australia now refuse to play against Afghanistan but they can only avoid them in the World Cups by forfeiting the game. They are protesting the Taliban disbanding the women's team and banning women from sport.
@@RealFansSports a yorker is a risky ball- slightly short and its in the slot-slightly High and its an easy full-toss- slightly down leg side (to the right) and its an easy boundary, or, if he misses it, it'll be called a wide. Bowling at his body requires zero movement. Its a favourite of many batsmen. The bowlers were bowling 'outside off stump' (left hand side of the pitch) for that exact reason - to get him to reach. At the body and itd have been even more 'stand and deliver'. Most easiest fours and sixes are scored off balls directed at the body. The thing about highlights is that you are only seeing balls that are probably not optimal.. Haha.
1:56 is the moment when India lost the wc Because if you don't know this match was crucial for both Afghanistan and Australia if that catch would have been taken then AUS was completely out from playoffs but it didn't happen and later they won WC🥲
The interesting thing about this match was that even if Australia had lost, they would still have qualified for the finals and still probably have won the world cup.
@@RealFansSports It was a 10 team round robin, with the top 4 teams to qualify for the semi-finals. Australia qualified in second place having lost only 1 round robin match to India (which was the team that they defeated in the Final). Had Australia lost that match against Afghanistan, they would still have qualified for the semi-finals, probably in 3rd position.
@@grahamleadbeatter5981 they lost to sa as well, which means if they lost this match they would have won 6/9. Probably would have still made the semis but may have had to play India. Aus were the best team in the tournament just weren't that consistent, but when it mattered pulled out their A game. I had no doubt Aus were always a chance to win this one
@@jehanariyaratnam2874 You are right, they did lose to SA. I should have looked that up B4 posting my comment. Never trust the memory of an over 70 year old. Even so, my original point stands. Had Australia lost to Afghanistan, they would still have qualified for the semi-finals.
@@grahamleadbeatter5981 yeah nw mate, I was born and grew up in England but always been an Aussie supporter, emigrated to Aus 10 years ago, follow them everywhere. Im going to the Carribean for the World Cup in a few weeks. Can't wait
In the limited overs form of the game, im fairly certain the bouncer is ruled out because all the bowlers would need do is bowl unplayable balls and no runs could be scored. One day games were 50 overs each total. Big bash cricket is even less.
That was one of the best innings by Maxwell and one of the worst bowling by a team that showed a lot of heart in that world cup. Literally the commentators were screaming bowl far from his reach😂
The thing is this you guys are right with the bowlers not trying to deliver in good areas, shows how weak Afghanistan is as a cricket team like nobody tried a bouncer not 1 not even 1
What amazing thing of this inngs you will never get is that its Afghanistan and they needed 3 more wickets to win the match Afghanistan should have boweld to the other batsman coz he was not a proper batter rather a bowler which lack batting skills. In short consider this match like a underdog anime character performs and single handely wins the match a match which needs a awhole 11 players need to perform to win and its a worldcup the biggest event of the cricket and one more thing this guys is a alrounder which means he can bowl and bat alrounders come to batting when peoper batters get out and then alrounders come this guy also bowled 10 overs ie delivered 60 balls also fielded damn man superman or james bond or you say south Indian movie hero performance
Afghanistan lacked a genuine fast bowler that day who could bowl those yorkers and bouncers to intimidate him they had spinners who were not getting any help from pitch and they had medium pacers who bowled at 80 mph so he saw that and he went for it not taking any credit from her actually praising his game awareness
Nahh, they couldn't have bowled body line bowls to him. Had they bowled at his leg, Maxi has a crzy flick which would be like a guaranteed six. You bowl waist high, he goes behind. And you bowl to his head? The guy has a crazy pull shot, though, without the legs, attempting to pull might have been difficult. So, yeah, bowling to his body would not have been a good idea, however, they could have tried bowling wide yorkers or away from his body
This might be one of my favourite stories in cricket.
He was batting for over 2 hours after fielding for 4 hours
in india (the humidity n heat)
even tho it was monsoon/winter
Also bowled 10 overs
Thats what an ODI means
One of the best chases ever
and bowling for 10 overs

If they bowled on his body, he would literally wack them over the legside everytime without even needing to move with or without legs
his back was a big problem so it might actually have worked, especially as a surprise delivery
I'm indian, but that was one of the greatest batting performance i've ever seen in 31 years of my life
this was a do or die match for australia and he lifted them from there
one of the greatest ODI innings ever played
The workload he had in this one match, ufffffff....field for 40 overs, bowl 10 overs and then bat for almost 50 overs, the amount of work he did on the field, its like someone like Ronaldo's workload in an entire season....since, this was a do or die match, he had to do it, or else they would be out of the tournament...but eventually, they won the tournament...so in short, Maxwell won the worldcup single handedly
9fa and 200 runs down all Aussies were about to go to sleep but he hit 201 in a 202 partnership without moving his legs and he had a seizure half way through with his spine spasming but he played through it
If an Indian player had played that inning then there'd already be a Bollywood movie about it.😂😂
Love the reactions of one of the greatest odi innnings! Allow me to explain, he suffered cramp a little but he needs to be out there! They were 91-7 to 292-7 amazing comeback! In case you didn't know, batting at no.6 in odi is very rare and get less opportunities to bat for 50 overs! I watched this whole match and i never thought maxwell get a double hundred at no.6 position. Double hundreds are very rare to get in odi, they have either open the batting or bat at no.3
You're generally allowed between 3-5 minutes for that medical treatment- maybe more. If it's something like a broken bone, then the batsman can remove himself- it's called retiring hurt. In any casse, retiiring hurt is the batsman's choice.
This video is the funniest cricket video I've seen in a while. y'all actually can do comedy and not just make faces😂
If Australia would lost that match, that would be a huge upset.😅
Beware the wounded soldier! We love you cos you're a Victorian!!!!

By hitting boundaries, he doesn’t need to actually run. If the ball hits the ground before the boundary, that’s 4. If it goes over the boundary on the full that’s 6.
Before this match If you had make a movie doing everything exactly which happened in this match People would've laughed at the movie calling it unrealistic
there's another vid that follows on with this effort, not sure of name of vid, but he was asked about it by press and gave a good bit of insight into how it was for him
The third drop was unforgivable!
Poor Afghanistan, the just cracked under the pressure. They are such a gutsy team. Love watching them play. One day they will come into their own.
This inngs gave me pain too as an Indian afterwards
That day Afghanistan was bout to shock us but maxwell had different plans
Great commentary guys, but you have to understand that Afghanistan haven't been playing internationally for very long so haven't really got the skills to put a team like Australia (which is their national game) away. They had their chances and this is what happens. Another point is that in a one day international (50 overs) if your team doesn't make 300 runs or better you will probably lose.
This game is more hard than baseball.
It’s different, but harder is not relative, it’s an opinion. Both games have different aspects that are harder than that of the other sport.
For instance batting is harder in baseball than cricket. Catching a ball is harder in cricket than baseball, fielding in baseball is harder than fielding in cricket because there are more decision to make based off of what scenario you are in or what bases are filled.
The bowlers actually started appearing to help him out. I mean they appeared to be genuinely helping him out after that nasty injury!
Zach looks like Kane Williamson
Yeah you’re not the first to say that 😂😂
There's a couple of reasons not to go at the body... first for a body line ball to be effective you usually need to bounce it high. Glenn Maxwell is ordinarily EXTREMELY good at balls on the legside (which your body is at - it's legside of the stumps right). He has more shots than anyone else in cricket and he is an extremely strong legside player. Secondly, in ODIs, you have limits to how short so Glenn knows once you've done your legside short ball, you aren't allowed to bowl it again. You are removing the threat of using the ball from the rest of the over because he knows it's a no-ball if you do it.
Now would it change when Glenn is massively cramping... well he still scored basically everything on the legside anyway. I don't think Afg had a good enough bodyline bowler to trouble Maxwell. You really need a 150+kph bowler to pull that off with how good his eye was at that game.
Finally remember you are seeing the highlights... there were a lot of balls you didn't see. They probably did try quite a lot of things against him that you didn't see.
I remember watching this match live..
And I keep complaining about it on TV that AFG bowlers should bowl on wider length so that he can't reach it..
Its a very common tactic for bowlers who face with a batsman with cramps..
And AFG bowlers didn't do it
Hey guys another amazing story is Steven Bradbury won Australia first gold medal in Salt lake City. It's a great story
the other thing to mention is that he was only allowed so many medical stoppages so he had to either just keep going without help or retire hurt. an absolutely ludicrous achievement
Historical maxwell
Who's watching this in May 2024 after Maxwell sh*t the bed with RCB in the IPL qualifier out first ball and saw them crashing out?
he is just country player. He can't even play for his franchise. Such a BS player for ipl.
G Maxwell has been a world class star batsman for Australia for 7-8 years. This is unbelievable.
He's a beast!

This is like the Jordan flu game if Jordan scored 50-60 points
You talked about the bowlers trying to make him move, but in the One Day (50 over) Game the bowlers are limited too where they can bowl the ball. It cannot go behind the legs (ON SIDE) as this will be called a Wide, add 1 run to the score and have to be re-bowled. On the other side (OFF SIDE) the ball has to be bowled no further than than halfway from the centre stump to the White line (Return) on the edge of the pitch, That distance is 1.32 metres or 4 1/3 feet, so half of that. Once again, if it is further away it will be a Wide and 1 run to the score and have to be re-bowled.
It is a rule that gives the batsman the advantage, but it also requires the bowler to be super accurate so as to limit the batmans ability to score.
Afghanistan took revenge in recent T20 world cup by beating Aussies at last.
Max in ipl 🤡
Max for his nation 🗿🔥
19:14 while there is a certain amount of time constraint - they can’t keep treating him for hours - this is a benefit of being ball-number based.
this is crazy funny
This was the match which took the world cup away from India.
If Australia would have lost that match, they would have been out of the world cup, but they won the match and eventually beat India in the finals to win the cup.
Maxwell is loved by many 4:38 , so no one should stop celebrating😅
T20 wc Anthem reaction ❤❤❤
This basically won them the world cup!
So it is important to know the context. Australia had already lost to South Africa and India in the earlier rounds of the World Cup. If they loose this match they are out before the finals. Afghanistan is a minnow cricket country and had little chance to beat Australia, but when they did the "impossible," and scored 291 runs, people started thinking this might be Australia's worst ever upset. When Stoinis was batting with Maxwell there seemed some sense that Australia could still pull off the win and save their tournament, unless make it to the finals. They had come together at 5/69 in the 14th over of a 50 over match. That was ridiculous, with Head, Warner, Marsh and co already out the batting stocks were getting thin. When Stoinis went after just 2 overs, as an Aussie I was sick to my stomach. The shame, the horror, the indignity of being knocked out of the world cup by a minnow was staring us all in the face. When Starc came and went in just 11 balls it seemed like a back rub with razor blades would be more enjoyable. Then this happened.... and Australia went on and won the World Cup - thank you Maxie you are in a league of your own.
Rohit sharma 264 runs highest runs in odi we want that reaction 😊😊❤❤
5:05 they cant take ball home because professional cricket ball are expensive 250$ each ball
@@tonystarkelonmusk2083 well, what are you talking about mate😂. Cricket ball is thrown back because a newer ball swings the most and as the ball get older it doesn't swing at all at one point. The ball is thrown back so that it is fair.
They were not going easy on him he pressurized them into it
Its a nerve game specially at world stage and young new bowlers loss it pretty quickly when it comes to it😂
You should react to the roosters match, one of the best games this season in the NRL
Have you noticed if they have started to allow reactions again? I hadn’t noticed anything new on my side
@@RealFansSports Ive noticed many American reactions to this season's NRL games
4 hours of fielding and bowling. 7/97 so he didn't get much rest to hydrate and stretch
He pulled the drunken master on them
13:36 I used to play cricket myself at a u-11 to u-15 level, and it's not easy, under the amount of pressure the bowlers were under, to pitch the ball exactly where you want. Also, these balls maxwell were slaughtering were good balls. He was just a better batsman.
😂 tf you talking about. A newer ball swings the most and an old enough ball doesn't swing at all. The ball is thrown back to make it far for the teams.
The reason they don't aim at his legs is that if they miss just slightly it's a wide and also if he just glances it fine it's probably going to be four. Bowling at a competent batsman's pads is never a good idea - you cut your teeth picking up runs from that line. And Glen Maxwell is very, very good off his pads.
In history books🤍🙌🏻
THE GREATEST ODI INNINGS EVER!!
And Afghans smashed them in 2024 t20 world cup !
Even new comers like you guys know where to bowl to him, Afghans probably lost their minds after the initial onslaught by Maxi
Australia now refuse to play against Afghanistan but they can only avoid them in the World Cups by forfeiting the game. They are protesting the Taliban disbanding the women's team and banning women from sport.
Bowl at his body -its his bread and butter
But since he was playing injured wouldn’t it make sense to deliver a ball that forces him to move or a Yorker right at his feet?
@@RealFansSports a yorker is a risky ball- slightly short and its in the slot-slightly High and its an easy full-toss- slightly down leg side (to the right) and its an easy boundary, or, if he misses it, it'll be called a wide. Bowling at his body requires zero movement. Its a favourite of many batsmen. The bowlers were bowling 'outside off stump' (left hand side of the pitch) for that exact reason - to get him to reach. At the body and itd have been even more 'stand and deliver'. Most easiest fours and sixes are scored off balls directed at the body. The thing about highlights is that you are only seeing balls that are probably not optimal.. Haha.
@@theowenssailingdiary5239 That last part definitely makes sense. And thank you for this. This helps give us a better inside knowledge of strategy.
1:56 is the moment when India lost the wc
Because if you don't know this match was crucial for both Afghanistan and Australia if that catch would have been taken then AUS was completely out from playoffs but it didn't happen and later they won WC🥲
These are not easy balls, trust me... he's just making it look easy
Not gonna lie that catch drop cost India the world cup
The interesting thing about this match was that even if Australia had lost, they would still have qualified for the finals and still probably have won the world cup.
Really? How are the progression through the rounds determined?
@@RealFansSports It was a 10 team round robin, with the top 4 teams to qualify for the semi-finals. Australia qualified in second place having lost only 1 round robin match to India (which was the team that they defeated in the Final). Had Australia lost that match against Afghanistan, they would still have qualified for the semi-finals, probably in 3rd position.
@@grahamleadbeatter5981 they lost to sa as well, which means if they lost this match they would have won 6/9. Probably would have still made the semis but may have had to play India. Aus were the best team in the tournament just weren't that consistent, but when it mattered pulled out their A game. I had no doubt Aus were always a chance to win this one
@@jehanariyaratnam2874 You are right, they did lose to SA. I should have looked that up B4 posting my comment. Never trust the memory of an over 70 year old. Even so, my original point stands. Had Australia lost to Afghanistan, they would still have qualified for the semi-finals.
@@grahamleadbeatter5981 yeah nw mate, I was born and grew up in England but always been an Aussie supporter, emigrated to Aus 10 years ago, follow them everywhere. Im going to the Carribean for the World Cup in a few weeks. Can't wait
In the limited overs form of the game, im fairly certain the bouncer is ruled out because all the bowlers would need do is bowl unplayable balls and no runs could be scored. One day games were 50 overs each total. Big bash cricket is even less.
You might be right. What we have always heard was they are allowed one per over but no one specified if it happened in all different forms
T20 World Cup is going to happen in new York
T20 world cup, the US just beaten 1 of the top cricket nations
That was one of the best innings by Maxwell and one of the worst bowling by a team that showed a lot of heart in that world cup. Literally the commentators were screaming bowl far from his reach😂
Maxwell hacks are not working in IPL😂..
That Ball was probably so damaged , from being hit and landing in the stands , that bowling would of been harder.
4:35 in cricket changing the ball can affect its swing. So...😂
Yeah we know that lol
The thing is this you guys are right with the bowlers not trying to deliver in good areas, shows how weak Afghanistan is as a cricket team like nobody tried a bouncer not 1 not even 1
If Australia lost that match they will be out of the worldcup. But It's a miracle they win this match and also 2023 worldcup winner is Australia.
10:12 the Captain is the one that punishes them by making them field the worst positions
What amazing thing of this inngs you will never get is that its Afghanistan and they needed 3 more wickets to win the match Afghanistan should have boweld to the other batsman coz he was not a proper batter rather a bowler which lack batting skills. In short consider this match like a underdog anime character performs and single handely wins the match a match which needs a awhole 11 players need to perform to win and its a worldcup the biggest event of the cricket and one more thing this guys is a alrounder which means he can bowl and bat alrounders come to batting when peoper batters get out and then alrounders come this guy also bowled 10 overs ie delivered 60 balls also fielded damn man superman or james bond or you say south Indian movie hero performance
Also Maxwell in RCB :🤡☠
Only 1 season bro
Afghanistan lacked a genuine fast bowler that day who could bowl those yorkers and bouncers to intimidate him they had spinners who were not getting any help from pitch and they had medium pacers who bowled at 80 mph so he saw that and he went for it not taking any credit from her actually praising his game awareness
Nahh, they couldn't have bowled body line bowls to him. Had they bowled at his leg, Maxi has a crzy flick which would be like a guaranteed six. You bowl waist high, he goes behind.
And you bowl to his head? The guy has a crazy pull shot, though, without the legs, attempting to pull might have been difficult.
So, yeah, bowling to his body would not have been a good idea, however, they could have tried bowling wide yorkers or away from his body
