Would not mind Maxi-relaxi making a game of this.

Sounds like Maxwell is knackered. Be a shame if this innings was completely in vain and knobbled him for the rest of the competition.

Any other Aussie and I'd be merrily rooting for their downfall. Ideally they finish all out, one run short, with Maxi unbeaten.

Credit where credit is due, this is probably the greatest ODI innings of all time.

England really do need to do something about Buttler, whether that's taking the captaincy or the gloves off him. He's doing too much, needs to focus purely on batting.

A solid all round performance for everyone apart from Buttler, who had a bit of a mare. A wins a win but Pakistan will be a very different challenge. I can see England scrapping into the Champions trophy just on run rate.

BCCI throwing their weight around and getting the pitch swapped on to a used pitch. Do they really need to leverage these margins given they've been the best team by about a mile? I'm backing NZ now purely for the gooseberry fools and giggles.

Well this is pretty much done and dusted now even with Gill's injury. Can see NZ having to chase 400+ which is nigh on impossible. India to win by 150 runs at least.
