Glenn Maxwell hit the fastest-ever Cricket World Cup century to help Australia to a record-breaking 309-run victory over the Netherlands ESPN
The batter went to three figures off just 40 deliveries, beating the previous 49-ball record set by South Africa’s Aiden Markram earlier in the 2023 tournament ESPN
Maxwell walloped eight sixes and nine fours in his 53-minute onslaught after David Warner had earlier scored a 93-ball 104 as Australia posted a formidable 399 for eight off their 50 overs ESPN
They then bowled the Dutch out for 90 to register the biggest-ever win by runs at a World Cup, which strengthens their chances of making the last four of the competition in India ESPN
The Netherlands might have had optimism of restrict their powerhouse opponents after getting rid of Mitchell Marsh early on, but Warner posted his second successive century at the tournament while Steven Smith added 71 and Marnus Lauschagne scored 62 before Maxwell’s late fireworks ESPN
The Dutch bowlers went around the park, with Logan van Beek picking up four for 74 off his allotted 10 overs ESPN
Only one team has ever chased 400 in a 50-over match so the odds were stacked against the Netherlands, especially as they had never scored more than 314 in a World Cup before ESPN
They slipped to 53 for four in the 11th over and consistently lost wickets in testing conditions ESPN
Adam Zampa cleaned things up at the end, taking four for eight in just three overs, with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood, Pat Cummins and Marsh sharing the other wickets ESPN

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence ESPN
Then, the crack in his voice ESPN
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health ESPN
That is, until now ESPN
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior ESPN
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little ESPN
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable ESPN
But soon may be too soon ESPN
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago ESPN
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi ESPN
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began ESPN
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that ESPN
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes ESPN
ESPN
ESPN
Sorry, um ESPN
ESPN
ESPN
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it ESPN
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp ESPN
ESPN
ESPN
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room ESPN

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up ESPN
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it ESPN
I had to take it ESPN
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be ESPN
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in ESPN
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family ESPN
But, I don’t know ESPN
ESPN
ESPN
I think you just need to keep busy ESPN
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in ESPN
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it ESPN
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand ESPN
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife ESPN
My wife could see it does get hard, I don’t know why ESPN
”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training ESPN
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer ESPN
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight ESPN
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession ESPN
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted ESPN
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable ESPN
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring ESPN
It must ESPN
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January ESPN
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him ESPN
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave ESPN
That is even clearer now than it was last week ESPN
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it ESPN
