That's it. Oh my fucking god what have we just witnessed. Maxi. My Maxi. Our Maxi just scripted history and oh in what a style. I'm still shaking typing this out but holy shit. He played through cramps. He couldn't run and was barely walking but holy shit.
In the list year we've seen Stokes and Klaasen come close they've each scored 180s coming in at 4,5 but for the first time in history an Aussie middle order batsman scored a double ton while chasing. Nobody in history of this game has scored a double ton chasing and in comes Mad Maxi throwing the team on his shoulder and saying come on I'll see you through.
Is it safe to say he has successfully shattered every record holding pedestal and now stands atop a mountain? Definitely. I'll say it. Nobody is ever coming close to what he did today. The same way 264 will remain the highest score by an opener 201* will remain the highest score by a number 5 batsman for generations to come.

Words are really not enough to express my love for him. I was supporting Afghanistan I was practically begging for him to get out but heavens he's done the impossible.
