He's awesome. @MN5 I think the nickname was initially ironic (you'd hope so) but he is an incredible talent. Wow.

He’s certainly a very “modern” cricketer that’s for sure.
I do wonder what Geoffrey Boycott thinks of these kind of innings though.

Wow!
Marty Crowe was ahead of his time with Cricket Max!
Phenomenal stuff - might have kept us in the tournament as well!

Cricket Max had potential. I liked the idea of a guy failing but getting a chance to atone in the second innings ON THE VERY SAME DAY.
Four wickets was fucken dumb though. It looked so wrong.

Just watched the highlights of his innings, cramp looked horrendous - how the hell did he play those shots without moving his feet?!

Afghanistan "choked".Pay him no mind. he doesn’t know his arsehole from his elbow when it comes to cricket.
In fact the only near choking was me when I first saw him comment on a cricket thread !
actually to be fair, I have to agree with his statement. Not trying to belittle Maxi's effort because that was amazing, but Afghanistan should have either been trying to get him off strike and continue to take wickets at the other end. Didn't do either really from a commanding almost unlosable position.
Reminds me a bit of the BCs playing Pakistan, everyone knows a certain centurion cant play the offside yet we continued to bowl at his stumps

@bayimports having watch the match from start to finish there is no doubt the pressure got to the Afghanistan bowlers, fielders and captain. Their inability to bowl the right line and length to Cummins and actually force him on to the front foot was baffling.
Nothing should be taken away from Big Show’s innings and his shot making would have any captain in a twist on how to set a field, but Cummins faced almost 70 balls and they didn’t do enough there.
As soon as it got to about 70 runs to go, you could see the noose getting tighter and that’s with Big Show falling on the ground in pain…

Don't be ridiculous, there's absolutely nothing Afghanistan could have done against these Aussie gods, they didn't even have them in trouble at fuck all for 7 wickets and the Aussie god of Aussie gods didn't even get dropped by a terrible display early on.
Afghanistan played amazing and there was no pressure or noose.
