Maxwell's look-away cut, and other outrageous World Cup shots

Australia were being sternly examined by Wahab Riaz in the quarter-final, but Glenn Maxwell turned on the style, smashing 44 off 29 balls that included a stroke which he described as "the back away, look away, deliberate cut through point". Wahab followed Maxwell, who was making room outside leg, with a short ball. Maxwell slapped it away, half cutting, half pulling, his fast hands directing operations awkwardly but effectively. Maxwell admitted that he was almost undone, saying: 'Well bowled Wahab! Had me!"  •  Associated Press
