Glenn Maxwell 62(36)

19.5
4
Ngidi to Maxwell, FOUR, the Big Show does it in his inimitable style. Australia win by 2 wickets and seal the series 2-1. It was a juicy full toss on the stumps, but Maxwell had decided to play a reverse scoop two weeks ago (read: premeditated shot). Was hurried by the pace, but there was decent contact on the shot to clear the short third fielder and trickle away to the fence...
19.4
Ngidi to Maxwell, no run, Maxwell doesn't want the single! He gets a full ball on the stumps and it's been drilled straight to long-on
19.3
Ngidi to Maxwell, no run, a high full toss outside off, Maxwell slices the drive to the left of short third where Muthusamy makes a diving stop. Was that a no-ball? The Australians certainly feel it was a no ball, but in fairness it was a right call you'd think...
19.2

Ngidi to Maxwell, FOUR, full and wide this time, Maxwell loves the pace! He stays deep inside the crease and spanks the drive to the right of cover, beats the desperate dive of Pretorius in the deep as well...
19.1
Ngidi to Maxwell, 2 runs, Bosch with an excellent save. Maxwell slogged it leg-side and it appeared to be heading towards the boundary. Bosch ran across to his right from long-on and flicked the ball back from behind the ropes. Did that whilst losing momentum with both feet up in the air. Top stuff from the fast-bowling all-rounder....
17.6
Rabada to Maxwell, 2 runs, slower length delivery on middle and leg, Maxwell clips it into the mid-wicket pocket and picks up an easy double
17.4
F
Rabada to Maxwell, 1 run, full on off, Maxwell pushes the drive to long-on and brings up a well-deserved fifty. He punches the bat and soaks in the applause from all corners of the ground...
17.3
4
Rabada to Maxwell, FOUR, slower short ball outside off, Maxwell opens the bat face and ramps it over short third. Used whatever little pace was on offer and timed it well enough to beat the diving fielder at square third man to his left
17.2
Rabada to Maxwell, no run, full on off, Maxwell jams the drive back to the bowler
17.1
6
Rabada to Maxwell, SIX, rubbing rock salt into the wounds is Glenn Maxwell! He gets a dolly of a full toss for a free hit and it has been mercilessly marmalized into the mid-wicket orbit...
17.1
Rabada to Maxwell, no ball, oh dear! That is the last thing South Africa wanted. A beamer from Kagiso Rabada. Maxwell barely had time to react and it went almost flat to the keeper. Way too high and called instantly. Might have slipped out of his palm, but that is a costly mistake from South Africa's most experienced bowler...
16.6
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, 1 run, a low full toss outside off, Maxwell slices the drive to sweeper cover to retains strike
16.5
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, no run, yorker aimed for the pads, Maxwell looks to play it behind square and ended up nutmegging himself
16.4
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, 2 runs, 125ks length ball sits up in the channel outside off, Maxwell cuts past the diving backward point fielder to his right. Sweeper cover mops it up and keeps it down to a double
16.3
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, no run, full and wide of off at 133ks, Maxwell looks to play the reverse sweep and misses
16.2
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, no run, full and a hint of inward movement outside off, Maxwell tries to squeeze it fine past the keeper, but no luck!
16.2
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, wide, full and arrowed down leg, Maxwell looks to flick and misses
16.1
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, no run, Maxwell is livid with himself! He fails to get bat on the attempted pull. The length was short, but Bosch deceived him with lack of pace on the stumps
15.6
Ngidi to Maxwell, 1 run, slower full ball on leg stump, Maxwell clips it to the right of Maphaka at deep square and keeps strike with a single
15.5
Ngidi to Maxwell, 2 runs, "two two two" is the call straightaway as soon as Maxwell chipped the full ball to the left of long-on. The fielder was a bit deep and that made matters easy for the duo
15.4
4
Ngidi to Maxwell, FOUR, Maxwell continues to find boundaries! This is an outrageous shot from the I0$. Premeditated the reverse slap and spanked this slower full ball over short third with absolute disdain...
15.2
Ngidi to Maxwell, 1 run, slower full delivery just outside off, Maxwell flicks it to the right of mid-wicket and wanted a second. Not on my watch says Brevis at deep mid-wicket
15.1
Ngidi to Maxwell, no run, slower full delivery outside off, Maxwell taps it gently towards backward point
14.6
Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, 1 run, short of length outside off, Maxwell hops and flicks it away to the right of deep mid-wicket
14.5
Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, no run, slower back of a length delivery outside off, Maxwell looks to flick and misses. The ball kisses him on the thigh pad and goes on the bounce to the right of the keeper
14.4
6
Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, SIX, that brings a smile now! A bumper on leg stump, Maxwell swivels and swats the pull many-a-mile over mid-wicket
14.3
Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, no run, 137ks full outside off, Maxwell slogs to deep mid-wicket and denies the single once again. Mark Waugh, on comms, is fuming seeing Maxwell deny two singles in a row...
14.2
Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, no run, 138ks length on the stumps, Maxwell pulls to deep square and says no for the single. Interesting move that...
14.1
4
Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, FOUR, streaky! 138ks full and slanting away outside off, Maxwell looks to force it down the ground and gets a huge inside edge that races past the sliding fielder at short fine to his right
13.4
Rabada to Maxwell, 1 run, tries to drive a 138ks fullish delivery and gets a thick outside edge rolling down to third man
13.3
Rabada to Maxwell, no run, looks to flick a length delivery and gets a thick inside edge onto pad. Half-hearted appeal for leg before, but no real interest for a review...
12.3
Corbin Bosch to Maxwell, 1 run, short of length outside off, Maxwell opens the bat face and punches to the left of cover
11.6
Muthusamy to Maxwell, 2 runs, quicker on leg stump, Maxwell works it into the mid-wicket pocket and calls for two straightaway...
11.5

Muthusamy to Maxwell, FOUR, that is a classic shot from Glenn Maxwell. Nothing unorthodox about this one. Stays leg-side of the full delivery and lifts the drive inside out over extra cover
11.4

Muthusamy to Maxwell, FOUR, there comes the switch hit. Typical Glenn Maxwell. Got into position early and dispatched the full ball over short third with supreme ease
11.2
Muthusamy to Maxwell, 1 run, darted in on the stumps, Maxwell nudges into the leg-side for a quick single
10.6

Kwena Maphaka to Maxwell, FOUR, off the mark with a boundary is Glenn Maxwell! A full ball dancing down the leg-side, Maxwell gets inside the line and tickles it away in the gap between keeper and short fine (Ngidi)
