I FUCKING TOLD HIM

whats the context of this

the person in the picture (glenn maxwell) just pulled off arguably the greatest chase in all of one-day cricket, carrying his team from 90/7 to 293/7. Many records were broken, like the highest 8th wicket partnership, highest score while chasing in a worldcup, highest score by an australian batsman and some more that im probably missing. What makes this innings truly special is that he pulled a cramp in his lower back and was basically playing on one leg for the last 80 or so balls. You truly had to be there to experience it.

An analogy that can help you comprehend what unfolded - imagine the 8th seed swept the 1st seed in the NBA, with a differential of +30 every game. Yeah, equally unprobable id say

 

[Hera]

american here. what's a wicket? is it some kind of meat? or a gun?

 

[Berks]

The better analogy is probably if your team was down 15-0 in game 7 of the World Series and then came back in one inning to win 16-15

the cricket difference is that this guy would’ve been the only one at the plate for the whole comeback

I do a unit of multicultural games when I teach P.E. and Cricket always rocks to teach.

 

[UberSkitty]

I will indeed remember the name Australia

 

[antemortem]

cricket?

 

[Blizihguh]

Isn't Australia one of like three countries that gives a shit about cricket? Australia beating Afghanistan at cricket seems about as impressive as the US winning a basketball game over Sealand

 

[Mechalico]

Well unlike sealand, afghans are good at cricket, so its not like us winning against sealand, yes australia is a better team than afghanistan but its not that one sided. And what makes this game memorbale is how much maxwell fought to win the game even after getting injured.

thanks :]

A lot more than that easily

 

[faint]

im just happy a professional soccer player actually wore their helmet for once.

The situation you are describing is more like American "football" than cricket, and I say that as someone who doesn't give a shit about cricket
