Who said what at the Cricket World Cup on Tuesday, the 34th day of the 2023 tournament, as Glenn Maxwell set the competition alight with an undefeated double century as Australia beat Afghanistan to reach the semi-finals:
"Horrific, I feel shocking. It was quite hot when we were fielding, I haven't done a whole lot of high intensity exercise in the heat. It got a hold of me today, I was lucky to stick it out until the end. It would've been nice if it was chanceless, I've lived a very charmed life out there. Everyone wrote us off after two losses, we've won six in a row now and I hope that belief passes around our changing rooms."
-- Maxwell after his heroic innings.
"A great win but Maxi was just out of this world. It's got to be the greatest ODI innings that has ever happened. Just ridiculous. I don't know how you describe that. I couldn't get on strike! I just let Maxi do his thing, how am I going to say anything to someone batting like that?"
-- Australia skipper Pat Cummins.
"Really disappointed. Cricket is a funny game, it was unbelievable."
-- Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi.
"This is the greatest ODI innings ever. It might be the greatest innings of any kind ever."
-- Former England captain Michael Vaughan on the BBC.
"One of the greatest innings of world cup so far….Incredible batting @Gmaxi_32 you beauty what a way to finish a game with a win & a double. Perfect display of batting."
-- Kamran Akmal On X
"Only a 360 player like Glenn Maxwell can pull off an inning like that after being 7 down for less than three digits!"
-- Yusuf Pathan On X
"My goodness Maxi"
-- Ben Stokes On X
"Innings of a lifetime!! Hats off"
-- Yuvraj Singh On X
