World Cup 2023:Pat Cummins feels Australia not weighed down by history

They know what it takes to win the 50-over World Cup, having won five of them in 12 editions, but Australia skipper Pat Cummins said they are never "weighed down" by history and will stick to basics against South Africa in the semi-final here on Thursday. The Proteas, on the other hand, are known as the 'perennial chokers' in the cricket fraternity. "Yeah, I don't think it counts for too much. You know, obviously you start from scratch every time you play," Cummins said on the eve of their match. "They're a team we've played quite a lot and know quite well. But as you said, this week it's probably going to be quite different to say the South African series that we just played against them a couple of months ago. "We've got a lot of guys that have been in this situation before that have won one day World Cup, T20 World Cup, various other tournaments in big moments. So, I think that really helps," he said. Having started off with two losses, Australia are peaking at the right time,

IPL 2024 Players' auction: Travis Head to put his name for bidding

Busy mastering red-ball cricket for some time, Australia opener Travis Head said he is now keen to explore the world of slam-bang T20 cricket and will throw his hat into the IPL auction in December. The 29-year-old, who has featured in 42 Tests and 62 ODIs, has played just 20 T20Is in his career, scoring 460 runs with 91 being the highest score, which came against South Africa in the three-match T20I series in August-September. "I will be in," Head told reporters when asked if he will put his name in the IPL auction next year. "I was restricted a little bit on time last year with getting married. I will put myself in this year and hopefully get picked up and get an opportunity. It was nice to be involved in it a long time ago." Head had a brief stint in IPL, having played 10 games in the 20162017 season for Royal Challengers Bangalore. "... this is not a format I have been involved in much over the years. It was nice to be back in South Africa and contribute in the game," he said.

World Cup 2023: Mad Max Miracle as one-legged Glenn' puts up 'Big Show'

Batting on one leg, Glenn Maxwell used his bat like a butcher's blade and produced an astonishing double century to singlehandedly lift Australia into another World Cup semi-final with a three-wicket win over Afghanistan here on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 292, everyone at the Wankhede Stadium rubbed their eyes in disbelief as Australia slumped to 91 for 7 in 18.3 overs and staring at an annihilation. But Maxwell had other ideas. With some slice of luck, he launched into an over-eager Afghan attack, smashing an unbeaten 201 off 128 balls with the help of 21 fours and 10 sixes to end the game in 46.5 overs. With 12 points and a match left, Australia joined India (16 points) and South Africa (12 points) in the last four stage while 11 incredibly talented Afghanistan cricketers, who had almost ensured that their fairy tale story don't reach its epilogue, found themselves on the wrong side of the result. History will judge if the knock at Wankhede, in terms of match situation, could b

World Cup 2023: Cummins' 'I was there' moment as Maxwell created history

Australian skipper Pat Cummins has no hesitation in rating Glenn Maxwell's magnificent double hundred against Afghanistan as the greatest knock in ODI history, which has allowed everyone to enjoy their very own "I was there" moment. Maxwell scored an unbeaten 201 off 128 balls with the help of 10 sixes and 21 boundaries to pull Australia from the rut at 91 for 7 and added 202 runs with his skipper to finish the match with more than three overs to spare. "I mean (all the innings) I've ever seen. it's probably the greatest ODI innings ever. We're just chatting about it, all the players and we've decided it's one of those days where you just go, 'I was there in the stadium the day Glenn Maxwell chased down that total by himself'," Cummins commented on Maxwell's knock that single-handedly took Australia to semi-final. The Australia captain hoped that Maxwell will be able to recover in time to play their last league game against Bangladesh, in Pune on November 11. "I'm sure, he (Maxwell

World Cup 2023: Nick Jones kept Glenn Maxwell going against Afghanistan

Australia's physiotherapist Nick Jones' advise got a "dead man" stand on his feet and the result was an epic World Cup knock that will be talked about for a long time to come. Suffering multiple body cramps, Glenn Maxwell was done and wanted to retire during the World Cup match against Afghanistan on Tuesday night. His skipper Pat Cummins was not complaining either. But Jones knew that the "best bet" for Maxwell was to just stand, minimise his running and keep going for his shots. And it worked. For both Maxwell and Australia. Maxwell is now a proud owner of perhaps the greatest knock under pressure -- an unbeaten 201 that propelled Australia into the semifinals. Jones, working with the Australian team for the last two years and someone who has treated Maxwell for severe cramping, advised against leaving the field because the all-rounder's conditions would have only worsened in the dressing room. "From there it was obvious we were fighting a losing battle," Jones told ...

World Cup 2023: Glenn Maxwell; amateur golfer who has always been a freak

Glenn Maxwell has been one hell of a freak. Whether it's his breathtaking shots that leaves everyone in awe or the bizarre accidents he has met with -- snapping his knee at a house warming party and more recently, falling off a golf cart that forced him to miss a World Cup game. Before one found a grimacing Maxwell on the ground against Afghanistan, he laid on the lawn of his friend's home for over an hour, last year. Many didn't know what was in store for him. He heard his left knee snap while playfully chasing a friend, who was also his ex-teacher. The moment he slipped and his entire body weight fell on his left leg, he knew that he had done some serious damage to his left leg. He simply couldn't get up in fear as other friends got a makeshift tent and covered him from the rain. He was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a broken fibula which kept him out of a Test series in India earlier this year. Nearing 35, his Test career seemed over but there was something that was s

World Cup 2023: Pat Cummins lauds Glenn Maxwell for going for the win

When Australian skipper Pat Cummins walked at 91 for 7 in a chase of 292 against Afghanistan, all he thought was of somehow getting to 200 so that the net run-rate remains in decent zone before the final World Cup game against Bangladesh. But Glenn Maxwell had other ideas as the Australian skipper watched the "greatest ODI innings" unfold in-front of his eyes with his partner hitting an unbelievable 201 not out off 128 balls to take his team to the semi-final of the global event. "When I went out there, I thought if we can somehow scratch the 200, our net run rate should be pretty good for the semi-final. When Maxi got his 100, I kind of thought, wow, we are within 120 or something. And then I still thought, no way," Cummins was honest enough to admit that he thought winning was out of question. "I think Maxi might be a bit different. I think he is always plotting his way to a win. I think even 200 runs out, he was kind of mapping out how he was going to do it. I was just trying to

World Cup 2023: Trott wished he had fielders in stands against Maxwell

As Glenn Maxwell's brutal shots kept soaring into the Mumbai skyline, Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott wished there was a rule to station fielders on the stands as that was the only way to get him out. Maxwell made the most of a dropped catch a simple regulation chance at short fine leg spilled by Mujeeb Ur Rahman off Noor Ahmed as he stroked his way to a sensational 201 not out off only 128 balls, hitting 21 fours and 10 sixes. This was after Australia being down and out at 91 for 7 in pursuit of 292. Trott, who has been heralded for taking Afghanistan to the next level in this World Cup, lamented an ordinary fielding effort shown by his players. "I am sure there are a few things, maybe one or two things, you could have done differently but that is cricket and there are always going to be things you want to have back," Trott told the media after Afghanistan's loss. "But he kept hitting them in the stands, so we cannot put fielders in the stands. I wish we could have," he ..

World Cup 2023: Cummins' lieutenants remained "fixated" like Kapil's Devils

It was a cold morning in Tunbridge Wells back then in 1983 and after 40 years, the warm evening at the Wankhede carried the same vibes. It was Kapil Dev back then and it was Glenn Maxwell now. It was 17 for 5 against an unheralded Zimbabwe team full of professionals playing league cricket in England back then and on Tuesday night, it was 91 for 7 against an Afghanistan attack full of T20 league freelancers across the globe. The similarities doesn't end there. On June 25, 1983, team manager PR Man Singh didn't allow Krishnamachari Srikkanth to take a leak as Kapil bulldozed the Peter Rawsons and Kevin Currans. Everyone was told to stay put where they are till Kapil was batting. Superstitions and cricket have had a long standing relationship and when Maxwell was on a carnage, the Australian players were "fixated" in their designated dressing room positions till he swatted Mujeeb ur Rahaman for a six. "I was sitting with George Bailey and Zamps (Adam Zampa) kept floating in and out.
