UQ Cricket Club players to face toughest test on tour of India
For University of Queensland Cricket Club (UQCC) batsman Finn Churchward, the memory of Maxwell’s heroics against Afghanistan – and the 106 runs he plundered off just 44 balls against the Netherlands earlier in the tournament – will stay with him forever.
“I know there’s probably a bit of recency bias there, but I won't forget that World Cup in a hurry,” the second-year Bachelor of Mathematics / Bachelor of Sciences student said.
“It was an exciting tournament, and I watched all the games live on my computer. To come out on top in that final against India was amazing.”
Churchward will get a chance to follow in his heroes’ footsteps this year when he joins 14 of his clubmates on a UQCC tour of India – the club’s first international tour in 3 decades.
