Super Max is a now defunct form of cricket invented in New Zealand by former Kiwi cricketer and captain Martin Crowe which was played primarily by first-class cricket teams in an annual competition. Super Max International Cricket had interesting rules like:

  • Both teams had to play 2 innings of 10 overs each.
  • Wides scored two runs in the format instead of one.
  • If a shot hit the Max Zone the score would be doubled meaning a four would yield 8 while a six will result in 12 runs.
  • In the first version, it included usage of 4 stumps instead of 3.
  • In 2002, India played New Zealand in this format for a charity match and lost by 13 runs. It was later discontinued after no substantial public response.
