Men’s ODI WC: Should Have Taken Chances; Helped A Person Like Maxwell, Admits Trott
ODI World Cup: At 91/7, a victory for Afghanistan over Australia looked imminent in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup. But Glenn Maxwell had other plans – smashing an astonishing 201 not out off 128 balls and single-handedly took Australia to a come-from-behind three-wicket win and cruised into the semifinals.
After the match ended, Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott admitted that his team should have taken their chances involving Maxwell and felt that if one drops a catch of him, then the big-hitting batter is being helped on the way to a big score.
Maxwell was given a life on 33 in the 22nd over when Mujeeb Ur Rahman dropped a sitter short fine leg off Noor Ahmad. “Well, it's a case of we got ourselves into position and should have capitalised, obviously dropped two chances, and gave a person like Maxwell a chance.”
