    I know England have been what we say.... sh1te, but there's always a certain amount of pleasure to be had seeing the Aussies struggle..... Afghanistan set them 292 and Aussies currently 49/4.....

    I believe the protocol is that if you preface “I know England have been shiit,” then allowance is made to take the piss out of the Aussie cricket team.

    Glenn Maxwell take a bow.... single handedly carried Australia over the line.....

    As much as most of us enjoy the Aussies struggles you can't do anything else but admire what he's done.....

    Champagne moment of the World Cup <applause><bubbly><applause><bubbly><applause>

    Bravo....

    Incredible innings but **** me Afghanistan threw that away. Dropped on 24 and simple chance on 33. Also walked off when given lbw on 27 only to see it missing the stumps on review lol. Those drops will haunt Afghanistan and probably cost them a Semi Final spot !

    Afghanistan really threw that away and gave Maxwell so many lives.
    Is there a 'through gritted teeth emoji'?
    Brilliant innings front Maxwell.

    Almost unbelievable innings from Maxwell. 200 runs is an incredible achievement in test cricket, but to do it in an ODI, is even more remarkable. Hope he can recover from his injury before the game on Saturday.

    England up against the Dutch tomorrow, surely they will play for pride and win.

    Only just saw the highlights. The Big Show isn't just a name. He's an incredible cricketer but that innings was his best by far. Just brilliant.

    Could apply to both, although I was thinking of England, just for the fans there.

    Firstly, ahhh no thanks.
    Yes, he had a few lives.
    Yes again, it probably will.
