Cummins did exactly what he needed to. Also was hard for him to score at a decent rate when the bloke at other the end can't run.
His knock was worth a lot more than 12*

Yeah, because reverse lapping is a higher percentage play than slapping it over wide mid on...and he did it twice, that I counted...with third man up.
Cmon TJB you're better than that.

What? If they bowl full and wide reverse lapping is nearly risk free. He would have hit 6 after 6 with a few misses at worst. Be unlucky to get caught on the fence with those boundaries

Moooo
You know what was missing after Maxwell hitting the winning six?

Well yeah, it's being played in India. That's probably a reason why so many ODI double tons have been scored there. Maxwell loves the low bounce. Should have been Indian.

I heard on the radio this morning, in its entirety, something along the lines of "and Maxwell got them over the line seven down" and was mightily disappointed to hear that Afghanistan just failed to beat Australia. Then I remembered that that result was pretty vital for NZ.
... and only now do I see the scorecard. Shades of Ganguly + Anderson.

If you thought I was I certainly wasn't knocking him for it. When I saw the scorecard after wtf Maxwell I thought amazing support by Cummins......he goes out good chance you loose.
Wasn't aware Maxwell was that impeded and was just surprised Cummins didn't knock off some of the runs. All makes sense now......incredible from both of them.

Nah really, you need to watch the full game. Nabi wasn’t bowling when he was cramping so I don’t blame him. It was mainly Naveen and Azmat who were downright terrible at the end.
It was incredibly poor bowling once he stopped moving. Ball after ball right up in his swinging arc. Barely ever took the pace off. Maxwell only hit 1 delivery off them to the offside iirc, which was a reverse sweep that he just about got some bat on.
From the 2nd drop catch till Maxwell was at about 140-150 the bowling wasn’t bad, but once he stopped moving they just **** themselves collectively.

tbh it is inflated by minnow-bashing (Afghanistan)

We weren't minnows in 2015 , Sangakkara and Jayawardene alone had more career runs than that entire Australian team
