Did Glenn Maxwell today played the best ODI innings of all time?

Was this 201* against Afghanistan the best ODI innings ever

  • No, Saeed Anwar's 194 vs India was better

Probably not given how pedestrian bowling was in the last half of the match.
But we can't ignore his cramp either..... My man stopped taking singles almost altogether. But yeah, Afghanistan has no one to blaim but themselves; with those dropped catches and that mediocre bowling

Yeah I just saw his innings. Great knock and all but that one player dropped a dolly and don't Afghani bowlers know how to bowl a damn yorker??!!

Yeah, this innings against a very poor 2023 Afghan attack certainly cannot be said to stand anywhere near Kapil's WC epic against [checks notes] 1983 Zimbabwe.
It was a decent Zimbabwean bowling attack tbf. Rawson, Curran, Fletcher and Traicos all pretty useful, and the match position of 9-4 (and then) 17-5 when Kapil came in isn't dissimilar.

It’s right up there. The drop catches and somewhat dumb bowling nerf it a little but it’s easily the best I’ve ever seen, and probably thereabouts with Kapil’s 175. KoB was special too.

Tbf afghanistan's bowling looked a million bucks to everyone except Maxwell
The bowling was excellent in the first half and completely fine thereafter up till about the point where Maxwell had already made 140-150.

Don’t forget he also had to think about maximising the strike and taking singles at the right time. Just an insane innings.

Yeah Afghanistan's attack isnt bad at all. It's just not brilliant either. Its why I get frustrated when people talk about the ICC bowling rankings. They're very solid but 3 of them in the top 10 rankings is absurd.

3 in top 30? Sure.
