Remarkable, ridiculous ... Glenn Maxwell! The Aussie allrounder's 201 not out will go down in history
Unplayable Podcast: The greatest ODI innings ever
201no from 128 balls.
That was Glenn Maxwell defying history, the odds, the Afghans, even his own body on his way to the most remarkable double century you are likely to see.
Australia were absolutely nowhere at 7-91 chasing Afghanistan's 5-291, but Maxwell (along with Pat Cummins) had different ideas and produced the most stunning turnaround in history.
Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron attempt to summarise what they just witnessed!
