I meant the penalties for the slow over rate are crazy. England are -19 points from Ashes for slow over rates but that series was hit by a lot of rain, even Australia got penalised in the manchester test in which only 2 days were possible lol.

Slow over rate didn't even seem a thing in that ashes series either, might be a bit blind to it because its england but i dont remember it being slow paced

maxwell's innings last night, probably the greatest innings in odi history.
even more incredible is that he did half of it with one leg working.

Magical stuff, I'm trying to think of what other innings go on the list

Viv 189
Virat 183
Virat 133
Kapil 175

Apart from Viv who's only comparable because he did it 40 years ago, I think this is the greatest ODI innings we've seen.

I saw a meme today that referenced the new Tendulkar statue at Wankehede by calling Maxi "the other statue" at Wankehede, it was unbelievable what he pulled off. Shot selection was simply beautiful

Yeah guy always been capable of something like this, he hits the ball hard and has always been aggressive, but always hits out. He got a lot of luck during that innings but its still stupidly impressive. 91-7 and he scores 200 lol, madness. Scores it very fast too which even better.

That I can say "Chasing 290 Australia stumbled to 91-7 before Skipper Cummins provided a match winning knock of 12* (68)." tells the full story. This stands behind Kusal Perara's 153 vs SA as the greatest innings i've been blessed to see.

We've made a better start against India than I expected. Still potential for India to get to 300 here though

We're in a situation now to recreate 2019's final to produce one of the greatest games in history. That or Straya crush them with 15 overs to go

Think the pitch has too much in it for the bowlers, which will mean the Indian's will just roll through the Aussie batters comfortably and have them all out for under 200.

Well, Travis Head and Marcus hold firm and win the game it seems! Those were the last two wickets India needed and couldn't get.

Never seen a world cup win in any sport greeted with such complete silence. You could hear a pin drop in that stadium!
