Maxwell - 50 off 51 balls, then scores 151 off the next 77 :houllier:

Many of those 77 balls he couldn't score off, cuz he couldn't run

Just brilliant knock. Shame for afgan but they should be proud of their efforts this tournament.

Mujeeb might not be able to sleep for a fortnight after this. Disaster showing.
Incredible stuff from Maxwell. Never write off the Aussies.

So most likely one of the sf will be Sa vs Aus. The other will be either Ind vs Nz or Ind vs Pak. Unless Nz and pak both lose their respective games and Afg win against SA.

SA vs Aus is now definite

Talk about making the most of your luck! Brilliant from Maxwell but hopefully the Afghanistan team come out fighting for the next match and Mujeeb gets some catching practice!

Superb from Maxwell.

Another decent display from Afghanistan though, they need more games against the 'bigger' sides.

Really great innings by Maxwell but that was some really poor bowling by Afghanistan, specifically after he started to cramp up. No variations at all. Literally everything in his hitting arc. He was literally standing like a statue and swinging his bat. Not one delivery outside off stump, barely any slower balls, etc.

Incredible innings from Maxwell but honestly might be an even bigger choke. Genuinely can't believe Afghanistan didn't win from where they were.

South Africa with a very bad result in recent memory, versus Australia looking a bit resurgent, on an Eden Gardens pitch that doesn't seem to suit South Africa..

Not looking great

That's ridiculous from Maxwell. Surely the Greatest ODI innings ever, all things considered. No support, the injury, qualification at stake, and the sheer scoring rate. Out of this world.

:lol: just wow. I boarded a flight when it was 95-7 thinking it was all but done. Got off the flight saw AUS won and Maxwell got 201 not out. Crazy stuff :lol: can't wait to watch the highlights!
