The physio of Australia<\/a>'s men's cricket team has revealed what it took to help Glenn Maxwell<\/a> reach an incredible double century at the World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maxwell whacked the highest ever ODI score for an Aussie man<\/a> when he belted 201 to lift his team to victory against Afghanistan in India.<\/p>\n

The remarkable innings was made all the more impressive given Maxwell suffered serious cramps over his entire body, at one point dropping to the ground in pain and being unable to run between wickets.<\/p>\n

He had bowled 10 overs in the Afghanistan innings, and had to leave the field at one point while fielding in order to cool himself down.<\/p>\n

\"Australia's<\/p>\n

Australia's medical team realised there was a possibility of bad cramping and dehydration if Maxwell's batting innings \ufeffdragged on – which it did with pure brilliance.<\/p>\n

"From there it was obvious we were fighting a losing battle," team physio Nick Jones told cricket.com.au.<\/p>\n

"That's not unusual \u2013 we see this a lot with lots of different players \u2013 but the more running you do, you're bringing (cramps) on more regularly and more quickly.<\/p>\n

"I was going out pretty regularly and I was just trying to keep him calm, trying to down-regulate everything, manage his heart rate and be as assuring as possible."<\/p>\n

Jones told Maxwell, "I think you're going to be able to do this. If we can keep you as upright as possible, you're going to be able to keep going from now".<\/p>\n

When the superstar batter collapsed onto the pitch again, Jones rushed out and Maxwell told him he needed to retire.<\/p>\n

"I got out there and it was his right calf, his left hammy and a few other areas that were all cramping at the same time," Jones said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"While we were giving him a bit of a stretch out, it was in that moment he said, 'I'm done here. I can't keep going. I need to come off and retire'.<\/p>\n

"He was struggling big time but I said to Glenn initially, 'look, I think your best bet is to get you up off the ground… You're lying down, other things are going to cramp, we need you up on your feet, we need to stretch the key muscle groups that are going'.<\/p>\n

"'But if you stay on your feet and minimise your running, I think you can stay out here. I think that's your best bet'. I explained that to (batting partner Pat Cummins) \u2026 we need to keep him out there and keep him going.<\/p>\n

"The way it played out from there was absolutely amazing and well beyond anything I expected he could do. I think we made the right call in terms of keeping him out there."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
