Over-by-over report: The trans-Tasman rivals clash in the teams’ sixth outing in India. Join our team of writers for updates
Geoff Lemon had the good fortune to witness Glenn Maxwell’s 40-ball century in the flesh a few days ago. Now we get to enjoy him rhapsodising over the innings the Victorian’s career had been leading inexorably towards. He is playing in his third World Cup: 21 innings, 656 runs, a strike rate of 162.37.
It is by far the fastest scoring in any World Cup career of more than four innings or 74 runs. The closest record with more runs is Brendon McCullum, godfather of the tonk, who went at a comparatively sedentary 120.84. Maxwell has produced a career unlike anybody else’s. This occasion was seeing it at its fullest, most riotous expression.
