I’m a 49 year old Aussie. I’ve been a cricket tragic my whole life. I’ve seen some amazing performances. This one was up there with the best individual performances combined with an almost impossible comeback that I’ve seen in my lifetime. Absolutely incredible.
Remember watching it live on tele thinking, i'll go to bed when Maxwell gets out, as i thought it was 0.0001% possible. Ended up best night/early morning ever.
Duuude I was so shattered that day from whatever I'd been doing that I went to bed around 3am thinking "I love Maxwell, and like Murphy's law he'll probably do something crazy, but I can't risk staying up if it all falls apart". Needless to say I regretted going to bed. Same thing happened 80 something minute at the 2006 Fifa world cup with the socceroos v Japan. I think the trick is I go to bed while everyone else watches 😫
As an Englishman i am honestly so envious of what aussie cricket has had over the last 10 years...i mean i would not want to face ANY of your front line seamers, or spinners. They just know how to tighten a screw...
Hitting 200 is a rare event itself.. only a handful people have done it in history…that too while chasing a score 7 down was probably the best ODI innings played by any batsman in 200 years of cricket history.. totally clutch … i was watching it live and could not believe what I was watching .. madness.. as an indian cricket fan i must say only aussies have this kind of winning DNA
Oh I’d second that. The “Sunmer of Mitch” was the scariest sustained series of intimidating and frighteningly fast bowling I’ve ever witnessed. That series saw Jonathan Trott retire and seek counselling and Graeme Swann also retired from memory. The rest of the team admitted that they were absolutely shit scared. Devastating stuff.
@@GeoffTheChefOfficial Off the top of my head, I believe 5 English players never played international cricket after that series. Trott, Smith,Carberry, Panesar and Tremlett.
I remember watching this, laughing thinking Australia were going to get spanked (i'm English) when Maxwell had the Dr's on treating his cramp...and he did this. Unbelievable cricket, could only applaud.
He said last over, but meant that it was the last over of the game since Australia won in that over. There were still 3 overs left in the innings after that (One day international = 50 overs for each side).
i'm Australian and let me tell you, the past 18-24 months have been wildddd from our cricket team. Some of our best batsmen have been going through some form slumps...and just when it seems like we are going to get rolled...someone clutches up. Glenn Maxwell here, Pat Cummins who is mostly a bowler has batted superbly on a few occasions, Travis Head in the World Test Championship match. Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green recently, like it doesn't mask the fact that are batters at the moment are going through a rough patch, but somehow we just always find a way to win.
Literally the Aussie batters need to stand like....their lower order these days have contributed more than upper order ....but hey as the saying goes Australia..is Australia any day of the week
@@cicjose6016 West Indies deserved it that day. Did you see Shamar Joseph bowl 140+ with a broken toe? Unbelievable stuff. That being said Australia are knockout heroes. Even if they play piss poor in group games/bilaterals, they still find ways to win in clutch situations which is what eventually counts.
As a proud Englishman I can safely say that this is the greatest innings that I've ever seen, and there have been some good ones over the years. Outrageous stuff.
There are three moments I love most in Aussie cricket. Gilly fastest test match century in the 2006 Ashes in Perth Peter Siddles' birthday Hattrick at the SCG And this absolute monster of an innings haha
Siddle's hat-trick was at the Gabba but yeah, that's a good list. So many good moments for Australia in the last 25 or so years since I've been watching cricket.
bro, he couldnt walk or use his feet whatsoever for the last 70 runs he scored. Yet he showed why he was one of the most talented players of this generation despite never really living up to the hype. The power he could generate just from his wrists without using his legs is incredible. one of the most frustrating players ive ever seen in terms of consistency but when he gets going, hes one of the very few who could single handedly change the course of a match. no wonder hes called "THE BIG SHOW".
It's annoying because it's the best innings I've ever seen in my life, but Afghanistan were massive underdogs - so it's like, if Luton Town were 6-0 against Man City with 10 minutes to go, then Haaland somehow scored 7 goals in 10 minutes to win the game. It would be historic and talked about forever, but still it's the big team beating the underdogs.
Yeah, good anaolgy. I'm Australian and I completely understand the hype but it is tempered with, well it was only Afghanistan. A more experienced team would have been more level headed and either shut him down with a different strategy, or field placings. I don't want to take anything away from Maxwell, his innings was exceptional but there are people out there saying it was the best individual innings in all forms of the game, I don't buy that.
Are we still throwing out the line 'well it's only Afghanistan' after they over performed in the tournament while also reducing eventual champions Australia to 7 for 90? Bit harsh on Afghanistan.
@@DilapidatedCat I'm not taking anything away from Afghanistan, they batted well and bowled well but allowed terms to be dictated to them. A more experienced team would have found a way to restrict Maxwell. I'm only suggesting Afghanistan will learn from this and be stronger for it. Mark my words, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
I was watching this live, and we Aussies thought we were done, but that we might see Maxi do something neat and make the loss a little more respectable, and then this happened. Asa side note, Cummins has shown a talent for hanging on to get us unlikely victories, aside from this match he has stuck it out and been largely responsible for getting us home in Test matches on three different occasions. The last time was just yesterday against New Zealand.
I always remember when Matthew Hayden broke Brian Lara's world record of 375 (Hayden scored 380 vs Zimbabwe), an interviewer asked Lara what he thought, he said "its OK, its just on loan" 6 months later Lara scores 400 against England and gets his record back
We were on a family trip while the tournament was on. On this day we were somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, on a cruise from Rome to Florida. I forgot it was on and when I got to the sports bar we were down 7 with not many runs on the board. Ah well, you can't win them all I thought. I'll grab a drink and see how it goes. It would have been hilarious to see one single aussie sitting and watching the cricket in the middle of the day on a cruise ship full of mostly Americans. Hell of a knock. One of the greatest individual performances I've seen.
The Leg before wicket is a type of dismissal in all forms of cricket and probably one of the most complicated ones. As the name suggests, when a batsman misses or leaves a ball and if the ball goes onto hit him on any body part in front of the stumps (most commonly the knee high pad or shoes on the leg) within a hitting trajectory, the bowling team appeals and the umpire decides whether the appeal is approved( out-usually signalled by raising the closed fist with a raised index finger) or dismissed (not out- commonly by saying not out or a dismissive nod of the head). The decision is made in a matter of seconds and is based on 4 main factors. 1. The ball pitched outside the batsman's off stump or in line with the stumps, 2. The impact was in line with the stumps , 3. The bowl did not come in contact with the glove (holding the bat) or the bat before hitting the body, 4. The actual ball, based on the turn or movement straight on, would've hit the stumps. The bowler and batsman are allowed to contest a review towards the third umpire for video and technical analysis if he/ she thinks the decision was wrong on the field (within 15 seconds of the actual umpire's decision) with a specific hand gesture. The third umpire upstairs analyses the same on a screen using video and tech to analyse the above mentioned parameters and dismiss or approve the appeal which is inturn re signalled by the umpire in the middle. Yeah, its not easy for a beginner. Hope it helps at some point. 🙌🏼
I've been playing and watching cricket since I was 6 years old, and this is as good as it gets. Watching it in real time was a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
77 from 76 was pretty tough 20 or more years ago. With the growing popularity of T20 Cricket, it's a exactly where you would want to be. There or there about. The biggest threat that could've stopped the Aussies from winning the game was the 3 remaining wickets. Nice reaction. Your Cricket is knowledge is getting better. 😎
I was watching this game live at my friend's house. He was rooting for Australia, and I was there to see his reaction cuz at that point I knew Australia gonna lose. He knew it too, the only hope was Maxwell. But the run was too much for him to score alone. Lucky me, Maxwell did a miracle, scored almost all runs by himself and I got to witness this historic inning with my friends.
The five common ways to go out: bowled (ball hits the wicket), caught (just like baseball), leg before wicket - pretty much what you said; the batsman allows the ball to hit him (usually on the leg but potentially any part of the body) and the umpire judges that the ball would have gone on the hit the wicket if the batsman's body had not stopped the ball, run out (the fielding team gets the ball to strike the wicket before one of the batsmen reaches his crease (the line on the ground in front of the wicket that denotes the "safe zone") and stumped, where the batman leaves the crease when the ball is bowled and the wicket keeper ("catcher") takes the ball and hits it against the stumps while the batsman is still out of his crease. This was an almighty innings by Maxwell in difficult circumstances. By the way, I love Jomboy's description of Maxwell's predicament: "going Lieutenant Dan", "walking like the lights are out" and "Mr Roboto". Hilarious.
Now u witness the grit and determination of Aussies to win..No wonder they have 6 world cups..Our arch rivals but we have a lot of respect for them..Btw,cummins is their captain and is probably the greatest cricketer at this moment coz he has won every trophy possible..He is also quite valuable as a batsman..
LBW is Leg Before Wicket. If a batsman has used his body to stop it hitting the stumps he is out. You have to use the bat. It stops batsmen just blocking the stumps with his body and not going out. He was the only batsman of known left and they were down to only 3 wickets left(all bowlers).
You should also check out Jason Gillespie's 201. He's a bowler, so he's not even in the team for his batting ability, and usually bats pretty low in the order, but in a test match, if a team loses a wicket towards the end of the day, they'll sometimes send in a lower order batsman as a "night watchman", so the next batsman doesn't have to go in for a few overs, and then start again in the morning. Well a night watchman isn't usually expected to last that long, and certainly not expected to score a century, never mind a double century. It's a long innings, but thoroughly worth the watch. Also his batting partnership with Glenn McGrath (also a bowler, and even less recognised for his batting than Gillespie is), where both of them scored their first ever half century, is definitely worth watching.
So when it comes to need x amount of runs in y amount of balls we count it in overs most the time & this is generally how it's viewed Test Matches: 2 Runs per over - Easy 3 Runs per over - Average 4 Runs per over - good pace 5 Runs per over - fast now for ODIS (50 Overs) & T20s i'll use Required Run Rates so how many runs you need per over to win ODIs 4.50 to 5.50 Required Run Rate is pretty slow 5.50 to 6.50 Required Run Rate is pretty standard 6.50 to 7.50 RRR is mangable 7.50 to 8.50 RRR is alarm bells 9+ is panic T20s 6 to 7 RRR is pretty standard 7 to 8 Still not bad odds 8 to 9 manageable 9 to 10 is alarm bells 12 + is panic When you're the chasing team though once you get to lets say the last 10 overs of an ODI or the last few overs in a T20 game it all gets thrown out the window & Required Run Rates that have climbed over the game to 18 have been chased. Some examples of Run Rates at points in a game ODIS: Starting out chasing 8 Per Over is a bit of pressure At the half way (25 over mark) chasing 9 per over is sort of alarm bells T20s Starting off anything below 9 is manageable Half way anything below 10 is manageable above 12 you panic abit Final few overs it doesn't matter because you're just going to swing but anything below 15 is usually on the cards (Best i've seen was 26 runs off the last over)
Not to mention, the first ball he faced was millimetres away from getting him out, and giving the bowler a historic hat-trick. How close the game was from ending up totally different.
He said it was the last over, which it ended up being, but there was actually 4 overs left of possible balls to get the runs required. At the start of the over they needed 23 off 24 balls, maxy did in 6
well said mate..as a cricket guy im still in awe of Maxwell... im not sure we as oz realise how incredible he was..it's almost inspired me to start my own channel. Love the USA and how you try to understand one of the greatest games in the world
Glenn was actually on the pickle juice during this innings. What with the stifling heat and being in a subpar condition to begin with, he was just that cramped up 😅Kids who take up cricket get it drilled into them from the start how integral proper footwork is to batting, but then Glenn goes and does something like this... absolutely one of a kind.
There are 9 different modes of dismissal in cricket: *Bowled* *Caught* *LBW* *Run out* *Stumped* *Hit wicket* (breaking your wicket while playing a shot) *Hit the ball twice* (only out if you attempt to score a run after the second hit) *Timed out* (taking too long to come out to bat after the previous wicket falls) *Obstructed the field* (getting in the way of the fielding team when they're trying to field the ball or in the way of the ball when they throw it) “Handled the ball" used to be separate mode of dismissal, but it's now covered under the "Obstructed the field" rule.
I was supporting underdog Afghanistan that match and was very happy to see World champions losing with them as it is booring for me to see same team winning world cup again and again. But Maxwell ruined everything😭
Cool video Luke. There's T20 world cup will be happening in New York and some other other places there. I hope u will touch that as well. I don't know if you know that but USA under-19 team played this year's world cup whose highlights u can find on ICC channel.
in this instance, needing 77 off 76 isn't where the difficulty lies, it's being 7 wickets down while trying to chase it down that's the pressure point.
The Cummins guy himself could bat very well, just that everyone after him was trash and he didn't want Maxwell to come under pressure in case he got out. Cummins is the Australian captain so he has the responsibility to make sure his team wins.
don't forget the performance of the batsman not on strike - he/she is supporting the big hitter by staying there and their role is often to take a single run to get the big hitter back on strike

Wish my dad was still alive. He would have loved this.
@11:15 it wasn't the final over, Maxwell ended the game early with a few overs to spare. so technically it was the final over, but the game could have continued if there were still more runs needed to get to the target score.
The 200 was awesome, but i think we should cummings performance an applause too. All he was trying to do was giving maxwell the strike at all times, it was the only way to win as he is mainly a bowler and not a batter so much!
Hey man, love the video. Glad you're getting into this wonderful sport. I wanted to answer some of your questions and clear the confusion 2:13 - What happened was an appeal for "LBW" (Leg before wicket) and yes this is one of the ways that a batter can be given out. If you block the ball with your legs (and not the bat) and the umpire (referee) believes that the ball was going to go on and hit the stumps (the three poles behind the batter), then he is out. However, in the modern game each team gets 2 TV reviews, in case they think that the decision from the umpire is wrong. What happens then is, they use some methods like ball tracking technology and different camera angles to review a decision. In this case, the umpire's original decision was reversed, so Maxwell got to stay on. 5:00 - So every time the bowler throws the ball in, that's one ball. So yes, they needed 77 runs from 76 balls at that stage. Those odds are actually pretty good (especially in this format of the game, will cover later). This is because as you know one ball can go for a 6 or a 4, or 1,2,3 - if the batters can run across 1,2 or 3 times before the ball is retrieved and thrown back. Now here's why in this game, the 77 from 76 was harder to get. This is because Australia only have 3 "wickets" left - basically 3 more times that a batter can get out. Maxwell is the only one who can bat, the rest are bowlers in the team, so their ability to sensibly hit the ball around is questionable. Also at this point Maxwell has no legs. So normally 77 of 76 are good odds, but it was a lot harder in this scenario and required Maxwell to just whack it around and hope he doesn't get out. 10:55 - So one "over" is made up of 6 balls. A bowler comes on and he can deliver the ball six times. In this format of the game that we're watching (It's called an ODI - one day international), there are 50 overs a side. So 50 times, a bowler comes in and bowls a delivery 6 times. This means that in total each side get 300 balls to score from. (50*6 = 300). So Afghanistan scored 291 in their 50 overs and so the target for Australia was 292 in their 50 overs. It is important to note that the other limiting factor for a batting team is the number of wickets. A team has 11 people, 2 people need to be out there at a time, so the max times a batter can get out in a team is 10 times. So, Australia at point are 7 down already (all their top batters are gone, and Maxi is still surviving). Saying that this was the "Final Over" can be a little misleading. It ended up being the final over cause Maxwell finished the match by scoring the required runs, however Australia did have 3 more overs after this, had they needed it. Notice it says 46.1 (that means 46 overs and 1 ball have been bowled). This is one of the greatest individual performances in the history of the game, it was unbelievable watching as a fan. Australia ended up winning the World Cup, and they are statistically the best team in the sport, they've won 6 out of the 13 world cups played. INSANE Record! Any more questions about the game give me a buzz. I am a passionate fan. If you haven't already - check out the 2019 world cup final between England and New Zealand. It was an absolute nail-biter. You could compare it the 2022 Fifa world cup final. Final thoughts - compared to a lot of other sports, cricket is very strategic. The batters, bowlers and fielders have to constantly think and take calculated risks. It's the sport where the captain and his strategy has a lot of impact on whether a game will be won or lost because you are constantly trying to out-think and out-play the other team. It's like chess on a field.
Remember baseball and cricket are almost like opposite games when it comes to strategy. In cricket runs are common and outs are rare. In baseball outs are common and runs are rare. A batsman staying in for that long is equivalent to a pitcher going for 8 or 9 innings. A bowler getting 5 wickets (a fifer) is a lot like a hitter getting a cycle.
You can watch cricket for another 50 years and you will never see anything like that again. The most boss cricket innings of all time. No matter what your criteria. Just the perfect instance of the right guy and the right moment happening at the right time. And the Afghans are no slouch. Amazing stuff.
at 02:35 - There are a BUNCH of different ways to be out in Cricket, most explained vids only touch the baiscs - Caught, Bowled, LBW, Stumped and run out. Batters can also be timed out by taking too long to get to the crease on the loss of the previous wicket, out by handling the ball, obstruction, hittting the ball twice and others. But they are incredibly rare.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction Luke. I am a hug fan of Glen Maxwell. His also has taken many wickets in record times too....His 20/20 and One Day International games are worth a look see to. Hi from Australia
Just watch the World Cup starting June 2nd 2024 USA vs CANADA.... USA hosting with West Indies. Watch the games and listen to the commentary and you will quickly learn the game. A game of patience and excitement unrivaled....Playing is more fun than watching. Try it...You don't have to be fit.... most guys I know play with a beer in one hand.... Have fun.
I’m Aussie and I truly believe if this innings had have come from any other country and I would have applauded just as hard. The difference would have been the missing tear in the eye. Secondly I’m am choc full of envy for all those folks that were at that ground to whiteness the feat. Bravo Maxi 👏👏👏
This is the best thing ever in cricket, from an individual effort, nothing beats it. back in the early 2010's Maxwell also won a game bowling against Pakistan who needed only 2 runs off the last over of six balls. So only one run would have tied the match. He did the impossible there too even though it was the last two batters for Pakistan who are in the team as bowlers so much easier than an established good batsman. Still the guy he gets out at the end hit him for two big sixes in the previous match.
Maxi was given out LBW (leg before wicket) which means the ball hit him on the legs/pads without touching the bat - ie: Leg Before Wicket... meaning if it did not hit his leg it would hit the wickets.. The umpire made a mistake in this instance as the ball would not have hit the wickets - but gone over the top of them.
There are nine ways to be given out, and one way that a batter can decide to be out. The most common ways: caught, bowled, LBW, run out, stumped. The uncommon ways: hit wicket, hit ball twice, obstructing the field, timed out. The batter can also retire himself out at any time. Very rare at the top levels. There was until 2017 also a law for out "handled the ball". This has now been included under the "obstructing the field" law.
Correct! Although when you retire (most commonly hurt) you're not actually hurt. You can bat again (once another batsman gets out) if you feel able to.
@@patrickguretti2300 That's right. I didn't include it in the "outs" because "retired hurt" is not out and is recorded on the records as "retired not out". However, you can retire yourself out, effectively declaring your own batting innings over, and you cannot return.
so that form of getting out were trying to describe, is called Leg Before Wicket (AKA: LBW). Its when the ball hits the batter's leg (before the bat) and the ball is projected to have hit the stump had the ball not hit the batter's leg and continued on its unimpeded trajectory.
5:07 a run a ball is not a lot nowadays in the modern game. It used to be a big deal but now scoring at 10 runs per over is pretty standard hitting. If you get to the final over and need like 14 runs or less, many teams would think they are a chance. There was an IPL game recently where they needed 28 runs from the last 5 balls of the game and the batsman hit 5x 6's to win the game - batters really have so many big scoring tools in the kit nowadays from the advent of T20 it's incredible.
Maxwell's game that day was out of this world. He sounded like an alien to the cricket fans that day. It's not a one man show usually in cricket. But it happened so that day that 7 top order batsmen got out and maxwell was all alone with tail enders who can hardly score runs as their primary skill is to bowl and batting is just a supportive role they play in the game. Cummins stood the ground that day rotating the strike to maxi. His effort is commedable too. Because had he got out that day, the last two players cannot even hold the bat properly. Cummins just cannot hit big shots and he is not that good technically with the bat as he is basically a bowler but he stood the ground. But the last two players who were to come if anyone had got out cannot even hold the bat properly. You watch a few more games. You will start understanding how the players are structured in the batting line up.
If you wish to hear, here is how it is. There will normally be 5-7 specialist batsmen and 5-6 specialist bowlers. Some of the batsmen can bowl and some of the bowlers can bat relatively well. 1. When the innings starts, ball will be new. This new ball when pitches on the pitch during the bowling, it swings. So usually the opening batsmen are good with such new balls. 2. Those who come to bat after 1/2 wickets down, to 4 wickets down are specialist team players who stand the ground and build the innings to play for next 20-30-40 overs in a 50 over game. They are usually not big hitters of the ball but are technically very sound batsmen. 3. Usually those who come after 5-7 wickets are big hitters again as there is high probability that they come to the ground after 35/40 overs and the team needs quickest runs at that point in time. 4. Next set of players usually who come after 7 wickets are specialist bowlers in the team but are there to support scoring the runs. Now bowling, 1. Team captain decides the bowling structure based on the kind of pitch. If the pitch looks bouncy then he usually picks 3 fast bowlers and of the pitch is slow then he usually picks 2-3 spinners. 2. When the ball is new spinners usually dont bowl as the ball does not spin consistently. Usually fast bowlers bowl for the first 10 overs in the match. 3. Usually by the end of 10 overs, ball starts getting old and spinners can grip the ball well, there comes spin bowling. And when the ball gets too old like over 25-30 overs, the ball can reverse swing with the fast bowlers. When the intensity of swing or spin is more, the more difficult it is for the batsman to bat as he needs to make near instinctive judgement and also read the bowler very carefully.
And yesterday captain Cummins helped bat Australia to another victory, partnering with Carey to score the last 61 runs required to beat New Zealand in the second test of their tour.
There are several ways that a batsman can be dismissed. Bowled, caught, run out , stumped, leg before wicket (LBW), obstructing the field, handled the ball and timed out. There was an example of a batsman being timed out in this World Cup. Obstructing the field and handled the ball are rare but do happen.
@benjaminterracini6114 respectfully disagree. There were examples of both obstructing the field and handled the ball quite recently. The Obstructing the field was in a Sheffield Shield match. The handled the ball....I'm not sure where it was.
@@mrrobg61 Quoting law 37.1.2: "37.1.2 The striker is out Obstructing the field if, except in the circumstances of 37.2, in the act of receiving a ball delivered by the bowler, he/she wilfully strikes the ball with a hand not holding the bat. This will apply whether it is the first strike or a second or subsequent strike. The act of receiving the ball shall extend both to playing at the ball and to striking the ball more than once in defence of his/her wicket." This was previously the definition of Handled the Ball, previously law 33.
there's 11 ways to get out in cricket. Bowled: The bowler hits the stumps and dislodges the bails. Caught: A fielder catches the ball hit by the batter before it bounces. LBW (leg before wicket): The umpire decides that the batter was in the way of the ball and would have hit it if they had not been there. Stumped: The wicketkeeper catches the ball before it bounces after the batter misses it or steps out of their crease. Hit wicket: The batter hits their stumps with their body or bat. Run out: A fielder throws the ball at the stumps and dislodges the bails before the batter enters their crease. Timed out: The batter does not reach the crease within three minutes of being called upon to bat. Handled the ball: The batter touches the ball with their hand, except when it is necessary to prevent an injury. Obstructing the field: The batter intentionally prevents a fielder from catching the ball. Hit the ball twice: The batter hits the ball twice in a row. Retired out: The batter chooses to leave the field without being dismissed.
This video didn’t really capture how epic Cummins was. He was essentially blocking for 6 balls and then Maxi would get 12 off the next 6 as he couldn’t run. It was a circus.
Yes hitting a double knock is impressive and only few have done it. But this is probably is best ever. Because he was risen from death to continue scoring
There's actually 11 ways to get out: - bowled - caught - stumped - run out - leg before wicket - hit wicket - Mankaded out (this is a form of run out where the bowler gets the non striking batsman out for taking too much of a lead before the delivery is bowled. Usually the bowler warns the batsman not to do it. First done by a in Indian bowler Vinoo Mankad.) - handling the ball (batsman touches the ball) - hitting the ball twice (hits a still moving ball with his bat a second time.) - interfering with the field (moves in a way to block a throw from hitting the stumps) - timed out (new batsman does not take his guard at the crease within five minutes of the last batsman going out.) The last four are kind of considered not in the spirit of the play and are rarely, if ever appealed. One notable exception was a Sri Lankan batsman earning the dubious distinction of being the first ever batsman to be timed out. There was an uproar in cricketing circles about how that was not in the spirit of the game, especially when the batsman had faulty equipment (his helmet.)
Not to be pedantic, but a Mankad is just a run out. Names so after the guy who famously did it years ago. Isn’t considered gentlemanly but it’s in the rules.
One thing to remember though in looking at 'great batsmen' is that in these limited over games (ODI and T20) the rules are amended so as to make it easier to bat .... eg restrictions on where the fielding team can put their men, restrictions on where the bowlers can bowl the ball as in much stricter definition of wides, restrictions on how many overs a bowler can bowl ( in T20 bowlers are limited to 4 overs or 26 balls. You can have the greatest bowler in the world but he can only bowl 26 balls). Basically these formats are designed to make it easy for batsmen to score runs because the powers that be think that's what the TV audience wants to see. Test and First Class cricket is where you get a fair game between bat and ball and it's where the 'great' batsmen make their name and go down in history.
you having said all that is is still one of the best inning ever and is probably equivalent to a triple century in test cricket or even better, plus there are down sides that you neglected to mention , such as a limited about of balls to score off and the ball is never as old as a test cricket ball which makes the ball harder to hit as well, in sixty plus years of cricket having watched some of the best batsmen ever from Chappel ,to Barry Richards Vivian Richards, Sachin Tendulka, Virat Kohle to mention a few I have never seen better i think you are severely under rating the performance. your main point is mute because all the greatest batsmen get the same conditions and no one else has even come close and on one leg as well so what the fuck are you saying.
Ways to get 'out' in cricket 1) Clean bowled out 2) Caught out (ball in the air, doesn't hit the deck) 3) Run out 4) LBW (Leg Before Wicket) Blocking stumps with no bat involvement 5) Stumped out (Wicket keeper catches the ball and breaks the stumps if you're out of your crease)
There is actually 11 ways that you can get out in cricket; .Bowled .Caught .LBW .Runout .Stumped .Retired out .Timed out .Double hit .Hit wicket .Handling the ball .Obstructing the field
I couldn't be bothered reading if someone has explained this, so if they have, I apologise. If the ball hits you on the leg in front of the wicket, you can be given out LBW, Leg Before Wicket. Maxwell's LBW was overturned because it showed the ball was missing the stumps. Before all this technology, that was out "plumb LBW".
Afghanistan missed so many tricks by not bowling more bouncers and yorkers as he couldn't move at all. That being said fortune favours the brave and Maxwell did it for his team that day. This innings alone made me think that Australia deserved that WC, even though they lost their first two league games. They've always found ways to come back from the worst of situations and win games.
There are more than 5 ways to get out. Bowled, caught, and LBW are the three most common ways, but you can also be dismissed (out) by... - Run out (where the stumps are broken by the ball when attempting a run) - Stumped (where the stumps are broken by the wicket keeper after you've missed the ball and are out of your crease) - Obstructing the field (generally any deliberate attempt to stop the fielder from getting you out - getting in the way, pushing them out of the way, changing your running line to stop them having a direct throw at the stumps etc.) - Hit wicket (where part of your body or equipment breaks the stumps while making a shot or avoiding the ball) - Timed out (taking too long to get to the middle after the previous batter is dismissed) - Handling the ball (using your hand to stop the ball from hitting the stumps) - Hitting the ball twice (there is an exemption to this one, though: if you’re doing it to prevent the ball from hitting the stumps or to prevent injury)
Oh, and technically there's an 11th way - retired out. Retired out is when you sacrifice your time at bat despite not having been dismissed. This is not to be confused with retired hurt. If you're retired hurt, it means you've suffered an injury while batting and need to leave the field of play for treatment. You can return later on in the innings and continue where you left. You can't do that if you retire out.
I’m a 49 year old Aussie. I’ve been a cricket tragic my whole life. I’ve seen some amazing performances. This one was up there with the best individual performances combined with an almost impossible comeback that I’ve seen in my lifetime. Absolutely incredible.
i watched it from the stands at the wankhede , there were a few aussie blokes next to me , they went batshit crazy , it was surreal
@@adrishbasu1644 That would have been crazy.
Remember watching it live on tele thinking, i'll go to bed when Maxwell gets out, as i thought it was 0.0001% possible. Ended up best night/early morning ever.
Duuude I was so shattered that day from whatever I'd been doing that I went to bed around 3am thinking "I love Maxwell, and like Murphy's law he'll probably do something crazy, but I can't risk staying up if it all falls apart". Needless to say I regretted going to bed. Same thing happened 80 something minute at the 2006 Fifa world cup with the socceroos v Japan. I think the trick is I go to bed while everyone else watches 😫
As an Englishman i am honestly so envious of what aussie cricket has had over the last 10 years...i mean i would not want to face ANY of your front line seamers, or spinners. They just know how to tighten a screw...
Maxwell is built differently, like a lot of Australian cricketers.
But same attitude
😂😂😂😂
If lot of aussie like hie then how is he different
Built with what ?? Sandpaper 🤭🤭
@@saikatghosh9073nah, built with trophies
Hitting 200 is a rare event itself.. only a handful people have done it in history…that too while chasing a score 7 down was probably the best ODI innings played by any batsman in 200 years of cricket history.. totally clutch … i was watching it live and could not believe what I was watching .. madness.. as an indian cricket fan i must say only aussies have this kind of winning DNA
I went to bed @ 4/40 😂
Well, a double century isn't rare. But a double century in a World Cup is rare enough that Maxwell holds a record in that regard
@@georgedoty-williams2085 a double century is rare. How many do you see per year?
@@georgedoty-williams2085bro there have only ever been 12 double tons in the history of ODIs, wdym theyre not rare 😭
A Double Century in an ODI by anyone who isn't an opener is rare. Glenn Maxwell. That is it.
NEVER underestimate Australian skill and mongrel. They are beasts.
They truly are🥵
yes fs ✌
Next one Mitchell Johnson 37 wickets in the 2013/2014 ashes. He literally scared the life out of an entire team over 5 matches
Oh I’d second that. The “Sunmer of Mitch” was the scariest sustained series of intimidating and frighteningly fast bowling I’ve ever witnessed. That series saw Jonathan Trott retire and seek counselling and Graeme Swann also retired from memory. The rest of the team admitted that they were absolutely shit scared. Devastating stuff.
@@GeoffTheChefOfficial I still regularly watch a video on CZcams called Mitch's Thunderbolts. Never fails to cheer me up.
@@GeoffTheChefOfficial Off the top of my head, I believe 5 English players never played international cricket after that series. Trott, Smith,Carberry, Panesar and Tremlett.
@@Skwiddd Didn’t Swann go home too?? Dunno. It was carnage though I remember that!
@@GeoffTheChefOfficial Swann did go home, but he played for England again after a break. I think he played an ODI series the next year.
I remember watching this, laughing thinking Australia were going to get spanked (i'm English) when Maxwell had the Dr's on treating his cramp...and he did this. Unbelievable cricket, could only applaud.
Cricket has 200 plus years of history, it's rare to see records fall but Maxwell smashed records that day.
He said last over, but meant that it was the last over of the game since Australia won in that over. There were still 3 overs left in the innings after that (One day international = 50 overs for each side).
i'm Australian and let me tell you, the past 18-24 months have been wildddd from our cricket team. Some of our best batsmen have been going through some form slumps...and just when it seems like we are going to get rolled...someone clutches up. Glenn Maxwell here, Pat Cummins who is mostly a bowler has batted superbly on a few occasions, Travis Head in the World Test Championship match. Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green recently, like it doesn't mask the fact that are batters at the moment are going through a rough patch, but somehow we just always find a way to win.
Man I hate you guys so much. We’re going 3/3 in BGT later this year tho 😉
Literally the Aussie batters need to stand like....their lower order these days have contributed more than upper order ....but hey as the saying goes Australia..is Australia any day of the week
i went to bed, we're done, i woke up and wtf!!
they literally lost to the worst West Indies side of all time
@@cicjose6016 West Indies deserved it that day. Did you see Shamar Joseph bowl 140+ with a broken toe? Unbelievable stuff. That being said Australia are knockout heroes. Even if they play piss poor in group games/bilaterals, they still find ways to win in clutch situations which is what eventually counts.
This is more incredible than lewandowski 5 goals in 9 minutes. Its just out of this world
No it's not
@@rushikesh009yes it is
That's pushing it.... Both are incredible performances regardless though
We Indians are traumatized by Travis Head (Oz Batter) , who single handedly decimated our chances to win two ICC trophies
All hail the "Big Show"!!! A privilege to watch the best innings ever in 50 years of limited over cricket and after he'd bowled 10 overs!
As a proud Englishman I can safely say that this is the greatest innings that I've ever seen, and there have been some good ones over the years. Outrageous stuff.
There are three moments I love most in Aussie cricket.
Gilly fastest test match century in the 2006 Ashes in Perth
Peter Siddles' birthday Hattrick at the SCG
And this absolute monster of an innings haha
Siddle's hat-trick was at the Gabba but yeah, that's a good list. So many good moments for Australia in the last 25 or so years since I've been watching cricket.
And Gilly’s hundred at the WACA was only the fastest by an Australian. He failed by one or two balls in breaking Viv’s record at the time.
bro, he couldnt walk or use his feet whatsoever for the last 70 runs he scored. Yet he showed why he was one of the most talented players of this generation despite never really living up to the hype. The power he could generate just from his wrists without using his legs is incredible. one of the most frustrating players ive ever seen in terms of consistency but when he gets going, hes one of the very few who could single handedly change the course of a match. no wonder hes called "THE BIG SHOW".
It's annoying because it's the best innings I've ever seen in my life, but Afghanistan were massive underdogs - so it's like, if Luton Town were 6-0 against Man City with 10 minutes to go, then Haaland somehow scored 7 goals in 10 minutes to win the game. It would be historic and talked about forever, but still it's the big team beating the underdogs.
Yes, that too with cramps
Yeah, good anaolgy. I'm Australian and I completely understand the hype but it is tempered with, well it was only Afghanistan. A more experienced team would have been more level headed and either shut him down with a different strategy, or field placings. I don't want to take anything away from Maxwell, his innings was exceptional but there are people out there saying it was the best individual innings in all forms of the game, I don't buy that.
Are we still throwing out the line 'well it's only Afghanistan' after they over performed in the tournament while also reducing eventual champions Australia to 7 for 90?
Bit harsh on Afghanistan.
@@DilapidatedCat I'm not taking anything away from Afghanistan, they batted well and bowled well but allowed terms to be dictated to them. A more experienced team would have found a way to restrict Maxwell. I'm only suggesting Afghanistan will learn from this and be stronger for it. Mark my words, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
@@utha2665 yeah we're gonna get humbled proper by them one day soon and it's gonna be a remarkable rise of Afg Cricket
I was watching this live, and we Aussies thought we were done, but that we might see Maxi do something neat and make the loss a little more respectable, and then this happened.
Asa side note, Cummins has shown a talent for hanging on to get us unlikely victories, aside from this match he has stuck it out and been largely responsible for getting us home in Test matches on three different occasions. The last time was just yesterday against New Zealand.
The greatest innings in One day international history! Just the 200 is epic enough
I always remember when Matthew Hayden broke Brian Lara's world record of 375 (Hayden scored 380 vs Zimbabwe), an interviewer asked Lara what he thought, he said "its OK, its just on loan" 6 months later Lara scores 400 against England and gets his record back
yeah, and batted his team out of any chance of winning the match. what a champ !
an australian captain would never do that - ever
I remember watching this live and my thoughts go from its not gonna happen to atleast he's trying to ofcourse its maxwell who does it
We were on a family trip while the tournament was on. On this day we were somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, on a cruise from Rome to Florida. I forgot it was on and when I got to the sports bar we were down 7 with not many runs on the board. Ah well, you can't win them all I thought. I'll grab a drink and see how it goes. It would have been hilarious to see one single aussie sitting and watching the cricket in the middle of the day on a cruise ship full of mostly Americans.
Hell of a knock. One of the greatest individual performances I've seen.
The Leg before wicket is a type of dismissal in all forms of cricket and probably one of the most complicated ones. As the name suggests, when a batsman misses or leaves a ball and if the ball goes onto hit him on any body part in front of the stumps (most commonly the knee high pad or shoes on the leg) within a hitting trajectory, the bowling team appeals and the umpire decides whether the appeal is approved( out-usually signalled by raising the closed fist with a raised index finger) or dismissed (not out- commonly by saying not out or a dismissive nod of the head). The decision is made in a matter of seconds and is based on 4 main factors.
1. The ball pitched outside the batsman's off stump or in line with the stumps,
2. The impact was in line with the stumps ,
3. The bowl did not come in contact with the glove (holding the bat) or the bat before hitting the body,
4. The actual ball, based on the turn or movement straight on, would've hit the stumps.
The bowler and batsman are allowed to contest a review towards the third umpire for video and technical analysis if he/ she thinks the decision was wrong on the field (within 15 seconds of the actual umpire's decision) with a specific hand gesture.
The third umpire upstairs analyses the same on a screen using video and tech to analyse the above mentioned parameters and dismiss or approve the appeal which is inturn re signalled by the umpire in the middle.
Yeah, its not easy for a beginner. Hope it helps at some point. 🙌🏼
That dude makes good cricket videos. He’s great at explaining stuff.
Jomboy's cricket content is phenomenal for someone as new to the game as he is. Glad you're giving him a bit of love.
I've been playing and watching cricket since I was 6 years old, and this is as good as it gets. Watching it in real time was a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
As an older Australian having watched cricket my whole life, this moment (which I watched live) was easily the greatest moment ever for me.
77 from 76 was pretty tough 20 or more years ago. With the growing popularity of T20 Cricket, it's a exactly where you would want to be. There or there about.
The biggest threat that could've stopped the Aussies from winning the game was the 3 remaining wickets. Nice reaction. Your Cricket is knowledge is getting better. 😎
I was watching this game live at my friend's house. He was rooting for Australia, and I was there to see his reaction cuz at that point I knew Australia gonna lose. He knew it too, the only hope was Maxwell. But the run was too much for him to score alone.
Lucky me, Maxwell did a miracle, scored almost all runs by himself and I got to witness this historic inning with my friends.
The five common ways to go out: bowled (ball hits the wicket), caught (just like baseball), leg before wicket - pretty much what you said; the batsman allows the ball to hit him (usually on the leg but potentially any part of the body) and the umpire judges that the ball would have gone on the hit the wicket if the batsman's body had not stopped the ball, run out (the fielding team gets the ball to strike the wicket before one of the batsmen reaches his crease (the line on the ground in front of the wicket that denotes the "safe zone") and stumped, where the batman leaves the crease when the ball is bowled and the wicket keeper ("catcher") takes the ball and hits it against the stumps while the batsman is still out of his crease.
This was an almighty innings by Maxwell in difficult circumstances. By the way, I love Jomboy's description of Maxwell's predicament: "going Lieutenant Dan", "walking like the lights are out" and "Mr Roboto". Hilarious.
Now u witness the grit and determination of Aussies to win..No wonder they have 6 world cups..Our arch rivals but we have a lot of respect for them..Btw,cummins is their captain and is probably the greatest cricketer at this moment coz he has won every trophy possible..He is also quite valuable as a batsman..
LBW is Leg Before Wicket. If a batsman has used his body to stop it hitting the stumps he is out. You have to use the bat. It stops batsmen just blocking the stumps with his body and not going out. He was the only batsman of known left and they were down to only 3 wickets left(all bowlers).
You should also check out Jason Gillespie's 201. He's a bowler, so he's not even in the team for his batting ability, and usually bats pretty low in the order, but in a test match, if a team loses a wicket towards the end of the day, they'll sometimes send in a lower order batsman as a "night watchman", so the next batsman doesn't have to go in for a few overs, and then start again in the morning. Well a night watchman isn't usually expected to last that long, and certainly not expected to score a century, never mind a double century. It's a long innings, but thoroughly worth the watch.
Also his batting partnership with Glenn McGrath (also a bowler, and even less recognised for his batting than Gillespie is), where both of them scored their first ever half century, is definitely worth watching.
So when it comes to need x amount of runs in y amount of balls we count it in overs most the time & this is generally how it's viewed
Test Matches:
2 Runs per over - Easy
3 Runs per over - Average
4 Runs per over - good pace
5 Runs per over - fast
now for ODIS (50 Overs) & T20s i'll use Required Run Rates so how many runs you need per over to win
ODIs
4.50 to 5.50 Required Run Rate is pretty slow
5.50 to 6.50 Required Run Rate is pretty standard
6.50 to 7.50 RRR is mangable
7.50 to 8.50 RRR is alarm bells
9+ is panic
T20s
6 to 7 RRR is pretty standard
7 to 8 Still not bad odds
8 to 9 manageable
9 to 10 is alarm bells
12 + is panic
When you're the chasing team though once you get to lets say the last 10 overs of an ODI or the last few overs in a T20 game it all gets thrown out the window & Required Run Rates that have climbed over the game to 18 have been chased.
Some examples of Run Rates at points in a game
ODIS:
Starting out chasing 8 Per Over is a bit of pressure
At the half way (25 over mark) chasing 9 per over is sort of alarm bells
T20s Starting off anything below 9 is manageable
Half way anything below 10 is manageable above 12 you panic abit
Final few overs it doesn't matter because you're just going to swing but anything below 15 is usually on the cards (Best i've seen was 26 runs off the last over)
Not to mention, the first ball he faced was millimetres away from getting him out, and giving the bowler a historic hat-trick. How close the game was from ending up totally different.
He said it was the last over, which it ended up being, but there was actually 4 overs left of possible balls to get the runs required. At the start of the over they needed 23 off 24 balls, maxy did in 6
well said mate..as a cricket guy im still in awe of Maxwell... im not sure we as oz realise how incredible he was..it's almost inspired me to start my own channel. Love the USA and how you try to understand one of the greatest games in the world
Gotta watch this game to appreciate just how good this was. Just ended up giving a casual.double century with the "stand and deliver". Magical
Glenn was actually on the pickle juice during this innings. What with the stifling heat and being in a subpar condition to begin with, he was just that cramped up 😅Kids who take up cricket get it drilled into them from the start how integral proper footwork is to batting, but then Glenn goes and does something like this... absolutely one of a kind.
There are 9 different modes of dismissal in cricket:
*Bowled*
*Caught*
*LBW*
*Run out*
*Stumped*
*Hit wicket* (breaking your wicket while playing a shot)
*Hit the ball twice* (only out if you attempt to score a run after the second hit)
*Timed out* (taking too long to come out to bat after the previous wicket falls)
*Obstructed the field* (getting in the way of the fielding team when they're trying to field the ball or in the way of the ball when they throw it)
“Handled the ball" used to be separate mode of dismissal, but it's now covered under the "Obstructed the field" rule.
I was supporting underdog Afghanistan that match and was very happy to see World champions losing with them as it is booring for me to see same team winning world cup again and again. But Maxwell ruined everything😭
If you liked that - AB De Villiers - fastest 100 in an ODI. or pretty much any videos about Chris Gayle.
One of greatest odi innings ❤
10:44 This wasn't the final over they were allowed; it just turned out to be the final over because they scored the winning runs.
Cool video Luke. There's T20 world cup will be happening in New York and some other other places there. I hope u will touch that as well. I don't know if you know that but USA under-19 team played this year's world cup whose highlights u can find on ICC channel.
cricket is game of strong mind
in this instance, needing 77 off 76 isn't where the difficulty lies, it's being 7 wickets down while trying to chase it down that's the pressure point.
The Cummins guy himself could bat very well, just that everyone after him was trash and he didn't want Maxwell to come under pressure in case he got out. Cummins is the Australian captain so he has the responsibility to make sure his team wins.
Great reaction matey. Got to love the Big Show! Thanks for checking it out
don't forget the performance of the batsman not on strike - he/she is supporting the big hitter by staying there and their role is often to take a single run to get the big hitter back on strike
Wish my dad was still alive. He would have loved this.
To be slogging 6's without the contribution of the legs blows my mind. It's all upper body strength. When Maxi is on, he is pure entertainment.
@11:15 it wasn't the final over, Maxwell ended the game early with a few overs to spare. so technically it was the final over, but the game could have continued if there were still more runs needed to get to the target score.
I watched this match live in the stadium, it was fun! gud vid
The 200 was awesome, but i think we should cummings performance an applause too. All he was trying to do was giving maxwell the strike at all times, it was the only way to win as he is mainly a bowler and not a batter so much!
Hey man, love the video. Glad you're getting into this wonderful sport. I wanted to answer some of your questions and clear the confusion
2:13 - What happened was an appeal for "LBW" (Leg before wicket) and yes this is one of the ways that a batter can be given out. If you block the ball with your legs (and not the bat) and the umpire (referee) believes that the ball was going to go on and hit the stumps (the three poles behind the batter), then he is out. However, in the modern game each team gets 2 TV reviews, in case they think that the decision from the umpire is wrong. What happens then is, they use some methods like ball tracking technology and different camera angles to review a decision. In this case, the umpire's original decision was reversed, so Maxwell got to stay on.
5:00 - So every time the bowler throws the ball in, that's one ball. So yes, they needed 77 runs from 76 balls at that stage. Those odds are actually pretty good (especially in this format of the game, will cover later). This is because as you know one ball can go for a 6 or a 4, or 1,2,3 - if the batters can run across 1,2 or 3 times before the ball is retrieved and thrown back. Now here's why in this game, the 77 from 76 was harder to get. This is because Australia only have 3 "wickets" left - basically 3 more times that a batter can get out. Maxwell is the only one who can bat, the rest are bowlers in the team, so their ability to sensibly hit the ball around is questionable. Also at this point Maxwell has no legs. So normally 77 of 76 are good odds, but it was a lot harder in this scenario and required Maxwell to just whack it around and hope he doesn't get out.
10:55 - So one "over" is made up of 6 balls. A bowler comes on and he can deliver the ball six times. In this format of the game that we're watching (It's called an ODI - one day international), there are 50 overs a side. So 50 times, a bowler comes in and bowls a delivery 6 times.
This means that in total each side get 300 balls to score from. (50*6 = 300). So Afghanistan scored 291 in their 50 overs and so the target for Australia was 292 in their 50 overs.
It is important to note that the other limiting factor for a batting team is the number of wickets. A team has 11 people, 2 people need to be out there at a time, so the max times a batter can get out in a team is 10 times. So, Australia at point are 7 down already (all their top batters are gone, and Maxi is still surviving).
Saying that this was the "Final Over" can be a little misleading. It ended up being the final over cause Maxwell finished the match by scoring the required runs, however Australia did have 3 more overs after this, had they needed it. Notice it says 46.1 (that means 46 overs and 1 ball have been bowled).
This is one of the greatest individual performances in the history of the game, it was unbelievable watching as a fan. Australia ended up winning the World Cup, and they are statistically the best team in the sport, they've won 6 out of the 13 world cups played. INSANE Record!
Any more questions about the game give me a buzz. I am a passionate fan.
If you haven't already - check out the 2019 world cup final between England and New Zealand. It was an absolute nail-biter. You could compare it the 2022 Fifa world cup final.
Final thoughts - compared to a lot of other sports, cricket is very strategic. The batters, bowlers and fielders have to constantly think and take calculated risks. It's the sport where the captain and his strategy has a lot of impact on whether a game will be won or lost because you are constantly trying to out-think and out-play the other team. It's like chess on a field.
Just a little heads up 77 off 76 is anyones game but they only had 3 wickets left so it is amazing
Remember baseball and cricket are almost like opposite games when it comes to strategy. In cricket runs are common and outs are rare. In baseball outs are common and runs are rare. A batsman staying in for that long is equivalent to a pitcher going for 8 or 9 innings. A bowler getting 5 wickets (a fifer) is a lot like a hitter getting a cycle.
You can watch cricket for another 50 years and you will never see anything like that again. The most boss cricket innings of all time. No matter what your criteria. Just the perfect instance of the right guy and the right moment happening at the right time. And the Afghans are no slouch. Amazing stuff.
So glad you're doing more cricket, don't forget Sport Explained's second Cricket video to follow up the one you watched the other day
THE GREATEST ODI INNINGS EVER!!
at 02:35 - There are a BUNCH of different ways to be out in Cricket, most explained vids only touch the baiscs - Caught, Bowled, LBW, Stumped and run out. Batters can also be timed out by taking too long to get to the crease on the loss of the previous wicket, out by handling the ball, obstruction, hittting the ball twice and others. But they are incredibly rare.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction Luke. I am a hug fan of Glen Maxwell. His also has taken many wickets in record times too....His 20/20 and One Day International games are worth a look see to. Hi from Australia
Just watch the World Cup starting June 2nd 2024 USA vs CANADA.... USA hosting with West Indies. Watch the games and listen to the commentary and you will quickly learn the game. A game of patience and excitement unrivaled....Playing is more fun than watching. Try it...You don't have to be fit.... most guys I know play with a beer in one hand.... Have fun.
I’m Aussie and I truly believe if this innings had have come from any other country and I would have applauded just as hard. The difference would have been the missing tear in the eye. Secondly I’m am choc full of envy for all those folks that were at that ground to whiteness the feat. Bravo Maxi 👏👏👏
This is the best thing ever in cricket, from an individual effort, nothing beats it. back in the early 2010's Maxwell also won a game bowling against Pakistan who needed only 2 runs off the last over of six balls. So only one run would have tied the match. He did the impossible there too even though it was the last two batters for Pakistan who are in the team as bowlers so much easier than an established good batsman. Still the guy he gets out at the end hit him for two big sixes in the previous match.
11.04 was not the final over available in the match. It was the over in which Maxwell won the game.
“Five ways to be given out” would be the correct terminology
or dismissed.
10 ways
@@MD-br2my you obviously didn’t watch the video
That performance is just not human. Mad respect for The Big Show.
Awesome, Legendary, a true Hero, what the word Hero encompasses. If you have a heart, this performance will touch it, lift it. Aho!
Maxi was given out LBW (leg before wicket) which means the ball hit him on the legs/pads without touching the bat - ie: Leg Before Wicket... meaning if it did not hit his leg it would hit the wickets.. The umpire made a mistake in this instance as the ball would not have hit the wickets - but gone over the top of them.
Welcome to the big show
You’ve got some finer details to learn but mate you absolutely get the game of cricket!
There are nine ways to be given out, and one way that a batter can decide to be out.
The most common ways: caught, bowled, LBW, run out, stumped.
The uncommon ways: hit wicket, hit ball twice, obstructing the field, timed out.
The batter can also retire himself out at any time. Very rare at the top levels.
There was until 2017 also a law for out "handled the ball". This has now been included under the "obstructing the field" law.
Correct! Although when you retire (most commonly hurt) you're not actually hurt. You can bat again (once another batsman gets out) if you feel able to.
@@patrickguretti2300 That's right. I didn't include it in the "outs" because "retired hurt" is not out and is recorded on the records as "retired not out". However, you can retire yourself out, effectively declaring your own batting innings over, and you cannot return.
Best inning i have ever seen 😍💥
No Australian man had scored a 200 in an ODI, and nobody’s had scored one in a second innings coming in in the middle order. I watched in awe
Greatest innings ever. I'm nearly 50.
so that form of getting out were trying to describe, is called Leg Before Wicket (AKA: LBW). Its when the ball hits the batter's leg (before the bat) and the ball is projected to have hit the stump had the ball not hit the batter's leg and continued on its unimpeded trajectory.
The reason 77 of 76 was difficult was because they only had 3 wickets in hand. If they had more wickets in hand it's actually very easy.
5:07 a run a ball is not a lot nowadays in the modern game. It used to be a big deal but now scoring at 10 runs per over is pretty standard hitting. If you get to the final over and need like 14 runs or less, many teams would think they are a chance. There was an IPL game recently where they needed 28 runs from the last 5 balls of the game and the batsman hit 5x 6's to win the game - batters really have so many big scoring tools in the kit nowadays from the advent of T20 it's incredible.
Maxwell's game that day was out of this world. He sounded like an alien to the cricket fans that day.
It's not a one man show usually in cricket. But it happened so that day that 7 top order batsmen got out and maxwell was all alone with tail enders who can hardly score runs as their primary skill is to bowl and batting is just a supportive role they play in the game.
Cummins stood the ground that day rotating the strike to maxi. His effort is commedable too. Because had he got out that day, the last two players cannot even hold the bat properly. Cummins just cannot hit big shots and he is not that good technically with the bat as he is basically a bowler but he stood the ground. But the last two players who were to come if anyone had got out cannot even hold the bat properly.
You watch a few more games. You will start understanding how the players are structured in the batting line up.
If you wish to hear, here is how it is. There will normally be 5-7 specialist batsmen and 5-6 specialist bowlers. Some of the batsmen can bowl and some of the bowlers can bat relatively well.
1. When the innings starts, ball will be new. This new ball when pitches on the pitch during the bowling, it swings. So usually the opening batsmen are good with such new balls.
2. Those who come to bat after 1/2 wickets down, to 4 wickets down are specialist team players who stand the ground and build the innings to play for next 20-30-40 overs in a 50 over game. They are usually not big hitters of the ball but are technically very sound batsmen.
3. Usually those who come after 5-7 wickets are big hitters again as there is high probability that they come to the ground after 35/40 overs and the team needs quickest runs at that point in time.
4. Next set of players usually who come after 7 wickets are specialist bowlers in the team but are there to support scoring the runs.
Now bowling,
1. Team captain decides the bowling structure based on the kind of pitch. If the pitch looks bouncy then he usually picks 3 fast bowlers and of the pitch is slow then he usually picks 2-3 spinners.
2. When the ball is new spinners usually dont bowl as the ball does not spin consistently. Usually fast bowlers bowl for the first 10 overs in the match.
3. Usually by the end of 10 overs, ball starts getting old and spinners can grip the ball well, there comes spin bowling. And when the ball gets too old like over 25-30 overs, the ball can reverse swing with the fast bowlers.
When the intensity of swing or spin is more, the more difficult it is for the batsman to bat as he needs to make near instinctive judgement and also read the bowler very carefully.
And yesterday captain Cummins helped bat Australia to another victory, partnering with Carey to score the last 61 runs required to beat New Zealand in the second test of their tour.
cummins has a 15 ball fifty in ipl before so e could certainly turn it on if he wanted
@@yeetusdeletus2681 cannot confidently say that it can happen all the time as its not a consistent thing for him. Such instances are just flukes.
One of the greatest innings in odi
I went to bed, but woke up and checked the score then watch the last 5 overs on my phone.
There are several ways that a batsman can be dismissed. Bowled, caught, run out , stumped, leg before wicket (LBW), obstructing the field, handled the ball and timed out. There was an example of a batsman being timed out in this World Cup. Obstructing the field and handled the ball are rare but do happen.
Handled the Ball doesn't really exist anymore, it was folded in with Obstructing the Field some years ago.
@benjaminterracini6114 respectfully disagree. There were examples of both obstructing the field and handled the ball quite recently. The Obstructing the field was in a Sheffield Shield match. The handled the ball....I'm not sure where it was.
@@mrrobg61 Quoting law 37.1.2:
"37.1.2 The striker is out Obstructing the field if, except in the circumstances of 37.2, in the act of receiving a ball delivered by the bowler, he/she wilfully strikes the ball with a hand not holding the bat. This will apply whether it is the first strike or a second or subsequent strike. The act of receiving the ball shall extend both to playing at the ball and to striking the ball more than once in defence of his/her wicket."
This was previously the definition of Handled the Ball, previously law 33.
You can be out caught, LBW (leg before wicket), bowled, stumped or runout. There are other more technical ways to go put but they are rare.
You are right, and it's called LBW (leg before wicket)
there's 11 ways to get out in cricket.
Bowled: The bowler hits the stumps and dislodges the bails.
Caught: A fielder catches the ball hit by the batter before it bounces.
LBW (leg before wicket): The umpire decides that the batter was in the way of the ball and would have hit it if they had not been there.
Stumped: The wicketkeeper catches the ball before it bounces after the batter misses it or steps out of their crease.
Hit wicket: The batter hits their stumps with their body or bat.
Run out: A fielder throws the ball at the stumps and dislodges the bails before the batter enters their crease.
Timed out: The batter does not reach the crease within three minutes of being called upon to bat.
Handled the ball: The batter touches the ball with their hand, except when it is necessary to prevent an injury.
Obstructing the field: The batter intentionally prevents a fielder from catching the ball.
Hit the ball twice: The batter hits the ball twice in a row.
Retired out: The batter chooses to leave the field without being dismissed.
This video didn’t really capture how epic Cummins was. He was essentially blocking for 6 balls and then Maxi would get 12 off the next 6 as he couldn’t run. It was a circus.
Yes hitting a double knock is impressive and only few have done it. But this is probably is best ever. Because he was risen from death to continue scoring
That wasn't the final over available, because their were 24 balls left, 4x6. There were three more to go, but they weren't needed.
If you like that one check out from the vault Waugh’s Ton of Pain because I’ll bet Glenn Maxwell drew inspiration from Steve Waugh’s example
There's actually 11 ways to get out:
- bowled
- caught
- stumped
- run out
- leg before wicket
- hit wicket
- Mankaded out (this is a form of run out where the bowler gets the non striking batsman out for taking too much of a lead before the delivery is bowled. Usually the bowler warns the batsman not to do it. First done by a in Indian bowler Vinoo Mankad.)
- handling the ball (batsman touches the ball)
- hitting the ball twice (hits a still moving ball with his bat a second time.)
- interfering with the field (moves in a way to block a throw from hitting the stumps)
- timed out (new batsman does not take his guard at the crease within five minutes of the last batsman going out.)
The last four are kind of considered not in the spirit of the play and are rarely, if ever appealed. One notable exception was a Sri Lankan batsman earning the dubious distinction of being the first ever batsman to be timed out. There was an uproar in cricketing circles about how that was not in the spirit of the game, especially when the batsman had faulty equipment (his helmet.)
Not to be pedantic, but a Mankad is just a run out.
Names so after the guy who famously did it years ago.
Isn’t considered gentlemanly but it’s in the rules.
Wasn’t the last over. You are right it’s 6 balls per over, so it was 4 overs. FYI, this is the goat batting performance in the 50 over game.
One thing to remember though in looking at 'great batsmen' is that in these limited over games (ODI and T20) the rules are amended so as to make it easier to bat .... eg restrictions on where the fielding team can put their men, restrictions on where the bowlers can bowl the ball as in much stricter definition of wides, restrictions on how many overs a bowler can bowl ( in T20 bowlers are limited to 4 overs or 26 balls. You can have the greatest bowler in the world but he can only bowl 26 balls). Basically these formats are designed to make it easy for batsmen to score runs because the powers that be think that's what the TV audience wants to see. Test and First Class cricket is where you get a fair game between bat and ball and it's where the 'great' batsmen make their name and go down in history.
you having said all that is is still one of the best inning ever and is probably equivalent to a triple century in test cricket or even better, plus there are down sides that you neglected to mention , such as a limited about of balls to score off and the ball is never as old as a test cricket ball which makes the ball harder to hit as well, in sixty plus years of cricket having watched some of the best batsmen ever from Chappel ,to Barry Richards Vivian Richards, Sachin Tendulka, Virat Kohle to mention a few I have never seen better i think you are severely under rating the performance. your main point is mute because all the greatest batsmen get the same conditions and no one else has even come close and on one leg as well so what the fuck are you saying.
Ways to get 'out' in cricket
1) Clean bowled out
2) Caught out (ball in the air, doesn't hit the deck)
3) Run out
4) LBW (Leg Before Wicket) Blocking stumps with no bat involvement
5) Stumped out (Wicket keeper catches the ball and breaks the stumps if you're out of your crease)
Plus a few more obscure ones…
Hit wicket
Interference
Timed out
Handling the ball.
And the most obscure one, being English and not knowing the rules 😂
There is actually 11 ways that you can get out in cricket;
.Bowled

.Handling the ball
.Obstructing the field
Watch Kapil Dev's 175 against Zimbabwe in 1983 WC which India eventually won, this innings of Maxwell is similar to that.
I couldn't be bothered reading if someone has explained this, so if they have, I apologise. If the ball hits you on the leg in front of the wicket, you can be given out LBW, Leg Before Wicket. Maxwell's LBW was overturned because it showed the ball was missing the stumps. Before all this technology, that was out "plumb LBW".
Afghanistan missed so many tricks by not bowling more bouncers and yorkers as he couldn't move at all. That being said fortune favours the brave and Maxwell did it for his team that day. This innings alone made me think that Australia deserved that WC, even though they lost their first two league games. They've always found ways to come back from the worst of situations and win games.
There are more than 5 ways to get out. Bowled, caught, and LBW are the three most common ways, but you can also be dismissed (out) by...
- Run out (where the stumps are broken by the ball when attempting a run)
- Stumped (where the stumps are broken by the wicket keeper after you've missed the ball and are out of your crease)
- Obstructing the field (generally any deliberate attempt to stop the fielder from getting you out - getting in the way, pushing them out of the way, changing your running line to stop them having a direct throw at the stumps etc.)
- Hit wicket (where part of your body or equipment breaks the stumps while making a shot or avoiding the ball)
- Timed out (taking too long to get to the middle after the previous batter is dismissed)
- Handling the ball (using your hand to stop the ball from hitting the stumps)
- Hitting the ball twice (there is an exemption to this one, though: if you’re doing it to prevent the ball from hitting the stumps or to prevent injury)
Oh, and technically there's an 11th way - retired out. Retired out is when you sacrifice your time at bat despite not having been dismissed. This is not to be confused with retired hurt. If you're retired hurt, it means you've suffered an injury while batting and need to leave the field of play for treatment. You can return later on in the innings and continue where you left. You can't do that if you retire out.
@Luke’s Sports Academy You should do a reaction to the Aussie Race Horse *"WINX"* and her 33 Straight Wins....😮 Absolutely Amazing to watch.
