Cricket: Glenn Maxwell has produced the innings of the World Cup after smashing a 40-ball century to set the record for the fastest 100 set at World Cup.
Big Show OBLITERATES World Cup record | 03:22Before he blasted a second-straight World Cup century, and a sixth all-time, David Warner’s Test teammate Nathan Lyon said Australian cricket may not fully realise the “massive hole” that will need to be filled when the veteran opener hangs up his helmet.
“I don’t think we’re going to realise the effect that David’s had on Cricket Australia until he’s retired and the massive hole that is left,” Lyon told SEN. Warner smashed 178 against Afghanistan in Perth in 2015, 166 against Bangladesh at Trent Bridge in 2019, and his epic, rampaging 163 against Pakistan last weekend was his third score in excess of 150.
“It so happens to be in live play and in tournament play and that‘s what I get up for,” Warner told Star Sports after being informed he went past Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting in the list of all-time World Cup century makers.
