On today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, we take a look at two quite amazing incidents that have occurred in the 2023 World Cup over the past couple of days.

Firstly we discuss the first ever incident of a player being dismissed 'timed out' in an International match. We look at the timeline of what occurred, talk about why it happened, and the various options that COULD have been taken by all parties involved and why in the long run they did not.

Secondly, last night's match saw arguably the greatest innings in ODI history played out by Glenn Maxwell, an innings under both game pressure and body wreaking pressure that it hard to believe that it could actually occur. We discuss Australia's part in practically losing their match against Afghanistan, before Glenn 'The Messiah" Maxwell brought Australia back from the dead to pull off an incredible and incredulous victory.

That's the talking points on today's episode of The Casual Mankadder, on the podcast that is still the bastion of all things cricket, even the most unbelievable, Thoughts from the Metal Cavern.
