Cox thrills as Invincibles hit record Hundred score
@Source: bbc.com
The 17 sixes hit by Invincibles is the most in a Hundred innings across its four previous seasons. Cox's 10 also equalled the individual record held by Liam Livingstone. Remarkably, he took only eight runs from his first eight balls before flogging Singh Dale over the leg side for his first three boundaries. A wide and a dot ball followed after which Cox, who was left out of England's white-ball squads on Friday, played an audacious reverse scoop over third man to the seamer's final ball. From there the hitting was relentless. If Invincibles bowled short Cox whipped the ball over fine leg or powered it over extra cover. When the seamers went full they were hit at a strike-rate of 308. "None of the bowlers seemed to be able to calm themselves down and it multiplied," former England bowler Steve Finn told BBC Two. "The way Jordan Cox played was freakish. "It wasn't bludgeoning. It was timing the ball." After Curran was caught, Donovan Ferreira emerged and crashed his first ball for six. The 200 was reached in 91 balls and when Tom Curran flicked the 96th for four a new highest Hundred score had been reached. There was still time for two more Cox sixes - one a glorious checked drive - but Muyeye perhaps summed up his side best. "For me it feels like playing for [Michael Jordan's six-time NBA winners] Chicago Bulls in the 90s, in terms of cricket," he said. "That's how good everyone is."
