Insane scoring rates in T20s. Won't be long before international cricket will be indistinguishable from Stick Cricket.

In 58 balls, Maxwell has scored more runs in an innings than any other Aussie in 3 Tests and 5 ODIs on this tour. #slvAus

Maxwell read the MCC coaching manual from back to front. Reverse hitting at will here. #SLvAus

Sri Lanka came to this game with Highest T20 score record & ended the game with their biggest T20 defeat also lost the highest total record

Glenn Maxwell has only run a handful of times today. He is exhausted, literally from HITTING TOO MANY SIXES. #SLvAUS

Struggling to get 150 in a test then belt 263/3 in 20 overs 🤔 #SLvAUS

The power with which #Maxwell was hitting the ball tonight was downright terrifying. It was the kind of innings you wish didn't end #SLvAUS

263 runs in 20 overs. At one time, it used to be a winning score in 50 overs cricket. Batting gone ballistic. #SLvAUS

Help yourself Maxwell. We are a hospitable nation. We know how much you needed this innings to make a mark. Enjoy ! #SLvAUS

The bowling may be poor.
The pitch may be flat.
But these hits from Maxwell would clear any ground in the world!

About 10 days back, SL were holding records of highest total in Tests, ODIs and T20Is.

Today, they have just the highest total in Tests!

Folks don't get excited for batting records being broken.

It will be regular thing in coming days. I stopped quite a while ago. #SLvAUS

About time we see 300 in T20s. No respite for bowlers whatsoever. #SLvAUS
