Alex Capel: Yeah… England aren’t making the semis.
John Dunthorne: Hope Buttler, Brook and Livingstone are watching this, and setting their sights higher.
'I wasn't expecting much'published at 13:42 British Summer Time 25 October 2023
Australia's Glenn Maxwell: "It feels pretty good. I have been pretty cooked today so I wasn't expecting much but it probably cleared my head a little bit to be able to go out there and play. The situation when Warner and Greeny both got out and it probably made me play the situation a little differently. Patty [Pat Cummins] was brilliant out there for me.
"I was just trying to get a read on the bowler because I felt like I had enough time to change and adapt. Generally I am just trying to get any reverse sweeps over the infield.
"I thought the Netherlands were outstanding. it felt like they saved some certain boundaries in the first 25-30 overs. It is a rock hard outfield.
"The ball can travel around here so if you get early wickets and get early wickets and get into the middle order and put run-rate pressure on them."

Absolutely remarkable hitting from Glenn Maxwell.
He reached his hundred from 40 balls with nine fours and eight sixes.
Staggering.

Dennis Ethan: Glenn Maxwell goes for 106 from 44 balls. Ridiculous innings from him.
James A Lyons: Being English, it is difficult to support anything Australian in the cricket, but what Glenn Maxwell has just done is ridiculously good, and addictive to watch.
Alex Capel: BRUTAL hitting by The Big Show!

Aus 399-8published at 50 overs
No hat-trick for Logan van Beek as Adam Zampa digs out the yorker for a single.
A wide then extends the over before Pat Cummins clatters the last delivery away for four.
Australia come up just short of 400 but Glenn Maxwell's stunning century - the fastest in World Cup history - and another ton from David Warner have put the five-time champions in an extremely strong position.

Starc c Ackermann b van Beek 0 (Aus 393-8)
Two in two for Logan van Beek as Mitchell Starc's leg-side hoick is caught at mid-wicket.
Colin Ackermann got underneath and pouched the catch.
Can we add a hat-trick to the madness we've seen in the last few overs?

Maxwell c Engelbrecht b van Beek 106 (Aus 393-7)
Glenn Maxwell's record-breaking innings comes to an end. But wow, what a knock that was!
He only faced 44 balls!
He falls going for another six, the ball goes a long, long way up but not quite far enough.
Very good catch from Sybrand Engelbrecht at long on.
Aus 393-6published at 49.1 overs
Glenn Maxwell can do no wrong at the moment.
He looks like he has when he completely mistimes a reverse sweep but the ball comes off the back of the bat and runs away for four...
Aus 389-6published at 49 overs
It was a waist-high full toss from Bas de Leede that Glenn Maxwell swatted away over deep backward square for six.
It gives Maxwell a free hit but he can only take a single before Pat Cummins gets in a tangle.
Dot ball to finish but De Leede's 2-115 from 10 overs are the most expensive figures in ODI history.

That has come out of nowhere.

Three sixes in a row to bring up the fastest World Cup hundred of all time!
It's the fourth fastest ever in ODIs, the fastest by an Australian.
Glenn Maxwell, take a bow!

Four, four, six!
Glenn Maxwell is on fire! Two fours bludgeoned down the ground before he launches the next over deep mid-wicket. Stunning.
That's one century up. Bas de Leede has gone for 101 from 9.3 overs...
Aus 361-6published at 48 overs
A single from the last ball. Glenn Maxwell stays on strike.
We've got 12 balls left in the innings and Maxwell has a record-breaking century in his sights.
