Cricket: Glenn Maxwell has stunned the cricketing world after smashing an unbeaten double century against Afghanistan.
A collection of cricket legends have declared Glenn Maxwell’s heroic innings of 201 not out the greatest World Cup innings of all time as he steered Australia to a famous three-wicket win over Afghanistan.
Maxwell smacked Afghanistan’s bowling attack across every inch of the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, sending the crowd further and further into a deep frenzy. Yet Maxwell soldiered on and eventually helped Australia deliver its highest successful run chase at a World Cup and shatter Afghanistan’s hearts.
“I didn’t think I’d witness anything as good, powerful, as grit, determination … when you’re playing for your country, what I witnessed when Ben Stokes did what he did at Headingley, I tell you what, what Maxwell did is right up there,” Harmison said on“To bat on one leg for probably two thirds of that innings, hats off. That’s just a remarkable innings and I don’t think in 50-over WC history that innings will ever be beaten.”“It’s just phenomenal, unbelievable, you can’t put it into words.
