[Donny]

Inglis out, first ball. Azmat on a hatty.

[Donny]

Azmat to Maxwell. What a pearl of a delivery.

Took the edge but fell a metre short of the keeper. Actually, Maxy's feather deflected the ball from hitting his off stump.

[Donny]

4/61 after 12 overs.

[Donny]

At this point, I went to bed. Left the teev on.

Had a dream Maxy hit an unbelievable century.

Woke up to hear loud applause. Through bleary eyes, I looked at the screen and ... was I still dreaming ? There was 100 next to his name.

On top of that, he's cramping badly. Can't run singles. Can hardly even walk.

He's hit another 78, mostly in boundaries. 7 sixes and 20 fours.

A win is possible.

Make that 8 sixes. Now, 9 !!

Commentators have run out of superlatives.

[Donny]

Another 6 !!

Unbelievable.

Aussies win.

He and Cummins came together at 7/91. Partnership of 202 unf.

Maxy was 201 not out.

[Donny]

All sorts of records. I'm trembling.

Most runs ever made after 7 wickets down.
