The Unplayable Podcast

201no from 128 balls.

That was Glenn Maxwell defying history, the odds, the Afghans, even his own body on his way to the most remarkable double century you are likely to see.

Australia were absolutely nowhere at 7-91 chasing Afghanistan's 5-291, but Maxwell (along with Pat Cummins) had different ideas and produced the most stunning turnaround in history.

Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron attempt to summarise what they just witnessed!

It's official. England will only be the ODI champions for another fortnight after Australia's 33-run win ruled them out of semi-final contention.

Adam Zampa was superb not only with the ball (3-21), but also the bat and in the field.

Plus Marnus Labuschagne finally had some success on the reviews front.

With a big break before Australia's next match (against the bottom-placed England on November 4), Marcus Stoinis is this episode's guest on the Unplayable Podcast.

He talks through dealing with injuries, his complex mental states during matches and the extra work he's doing away from the field to improve his performance.

He joined Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron in Delhi.

A stunning location deserved a stunning match.

Australia knocked off New Zealand at Dharamsala by only five runs in the highest-scoring match in World Cup history with Travis Head (109) and Rachin Ravindra (116) making the most of the conditions at the foothills of the Himalayas.

Whether or not the ball actually travels further at higher altitude, the cold hard facts say there were 32 sixes hit for the night and nearly 800 runs scored.

Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron were there at the beautiful HPCA Stadium and break it all down for you.

Get the full recap from a record-breaking night in Delhi!

Australia won by a record 309 runs, David Warner hit another hundred, Adam Zampa took another four ...

But the night was all about Glenn Maxwell's 40-ball century. The allrounder broke Aiden Markram's fastest World Cup century record (49 balls) and broke Meg Lanning's record (46 balls) for the fastest ODI ton by an Aussie.

Apologies for the background noise as cables and microphones were ripped out of their sockets and messily stuffed into boxes all around us!

Adam Zampa has had plenty to deal with over the past few weeks - a glute niggle, a back spasm, a pool-related injury...

But he's also delivered back-to-back four-wicket hauls in Australia's two World Cup victories.

Ahead of the match against the Netherlands, Zampa chats to Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron about touring as a dad, his new eyewear, his swimming habits and plenty more.

A 259-run opening stand. A birthday century for Mitch Marsh. A massive 163 for David Warner. Marcus Stoinis back amongst the wickets. And Adam Zampa taking another four despite back soreness.

Everybody breathe a sigh of relief.

Australia have their first win of the World Cup and are off the bottom of the standings with a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Lucknow.

Glove on the bat? Glove off the bat? Glove touching the other glove... that's on the bat?

Australia have lost their first match of the World Cup to hosts India by six wickets.

After managing to score only 199 after choosing to bat, the Aussies needed everything to go their way if they were to escape with a victory.

Things started off in the right direction, but a crucial dropped catch changed the course of the match.

Josh Schonafinger and Jack Paynter were there in Chennai to recap the day's play.
