Maxwell one of the fastest scorers in world cricket

Australian all rounder Glen Maxwell was the hero of the Australia and Netherlands game at Delhi on Wednesday.He smashed a 40 ball hundred which is the fastest world cup hundred and earlier on the same grounds Aiden Markram of South Africa made fastest hundred against Sri Lanka in 57 balls and Maxwell erased it after 19 days .

The jubilant all rounder Maxwell said “I’m aware of balls faced. I am proud of setting up the fastest 50, and fastest 100 records. I think they’re pretty cool records. Sometimes to the detriment of myself, I’ve always pushed the boundaries a bit too much.

“I think against Afghanistan in 2015, I was on 88 off [38] and looked like ‘I was getting it in the next two balls’. I hit one straight to cover and missed it. I think I got my fastest hundred in the next game.

“I’ve been in those positions before where I could make fast hundreds when I get on the run – I know I’m difficult to bowl to. It’s just about getting past the first ball.” Maxwell revealed that the situation of the game and his own health helped calm him down after falling to a crazy first-ball slog in the previous game against Pakistan, where the perfect platform had been laid for him to do something similar added Maxwell .

Maxwell is one of the fastest scorers in world cricket, Glenn Maxwell has lit up the limited-overs formats. His ability to make unconventional shots – reverse sweeps and pulls, for example makes it hard to set fields to cover all of his scoring areas. Maxwell’s audacity comes with risk, and he can experiment as well as accelerate but at his best he can change a game in moments. Also a handy off spinner and outstanding fielder, Maxwell offers an impressive package in one-day and T20 cricket when things click.

Maxwell made his name for Victoria with a 19-ball half-century against Tasmania in 2010-11, the fastest fifty in Australia’s one-day domestic history, and transferred that talent to the international stage. At the 2015 World Cup he blasted a 51-ball hundred against Sri Lanka in Sydney, then the fastest for Australia in ODIs, and the second-quickest in World Cup history.

The experienced all rounder who has shown his potential during IPL tournaments in India revealed he had been feeling unwell in the lead-up to the Netherlands game and had not had much sleep following the arrival of his wife and infant son to India.

“I was sitting in the changing room and I didn’t really want to bat, which is a bit different than last game where I was eager to get out there,” Maxwell said. “ But I was a little bit more chilled when I got out there. I didn’t have high hopes. I’ve been pretty cooked the last couple of days.” “I was in the stage of rebuilding and trying to get through and trying to bat as long as I possibly could, and just haven’t probably had the opportunity. he said.
