Sometimes there just aren’t enough words and all you can do is stop and watch in awe at the spectacle unfolding in front of you. Glenn Maxwell’s unbeaten 201 to see Australia over the line against Afghanistan was one of those moments, it was a spectacular show of individual quality and one that anyone in attendance may well be telling their children about in years to come.
Hope was all but diminished when Mitchell Starc was out and Australia were 91 for seven chasing a good target by Afghanistan of 292, but Maxwell held firm.
