ACT Crusader

This is phenomenal stuff from Big Show

Annnnnd Afghanistan take choke of the year award by a country mile

Actually that's at least the millennium.

ACT Crusader

Astonishing stuff from Maxwell. Scores a double ton to win the match. Basically his second hundred was with his body in full cramp mode. The no feet movement hitting was superb.

Afghanistan choke does the Black Caps a favour….

Dodge

hell of an innings and hell of a way to finish it. 201 off 128, including 10 sixes

ACT Crusader

Several records in that chase - highest chase at that ground; highest total by an Aussie at a CWC

Dodge

Just realised, partnership was 202 runs off of 170 balls and Cummings used 68 of them to score 12…

Catogrande

@Dodge amazing stats all round

Did I hear it's the highest amount of runs in a winning chase after the second wicket has fallen?

Crumbs, getting a double ton in an ODI batting six really is an amazing effort. Hats off.

I still can’t stand his nickname though, especially when someone else had it first

Dodge

Just watched the highlights of his innings, cramp looked horrendous - how the hell did he play those shots without moving his feet?!

He's awesome. @MN5 I think the nickname was initially ironic (you'd hope so) but he is an incredible talent. Wow.

He’s certainly a very “modern” cricketer that’s for sure.

I do wonder what Geoffrey Boycott thinks of these kind of innings though.
