Oh. Your. Gods.
When Maxwell hit the crease, Victoria were 6/157, requiring 112 runs in nine overs. Shortly after, they needed 65 from 6 overs with 2 wickets left.
Glenn Maxwell's 61 in 27 balls proved to be the fastest 50 in the history of the competition and sparked as ridiculous a comeback as you will ever see.
Victoria never really looked in the hunt until then. They finished stage 1 20 runs and 2 wickets behind Tasmania. Cosgrove and Bailey each made centuries, putting on 221 for the 3rd wicket, another record. Tassie's only regret was that after the partnership was broken, they fell away, but not so severely that they failed to produce a good score.
Maxwell was frustrated to get himself out, but he had done enough. Peter Siddle also displayed skill to make a quick 25 and see the game through in the last ball.
