Glenn Maxwell Ignites Australia’s World Cup Hopes With ODI Cricket’s Greatest Innings

Josh Inglis had his back turned when cameras panned to Australia’s ashen-faced dressing room. You couldn’t see, but it was obvious that he was fuming after being dismissed first ball as five-time champions Australia were headed for a humiliating defeat against Afghanistan.

Next to Inglis sat David Warner, who still sported a grim expression after being clean bowled on the previous delivery. Australia were almost down and out as they crumbled to 91 for 7 chasing 292 against a strong Afghanistan attack that could smell an upset that would leave both teams fighting for a semi-final berth.
