‘No, I just moved on pretty quickly…..’ – Glenn Maxwell’s sad family admission after hammering ton in 2nd T20I vs West Indies
Australia’s star cricketer Glenn Maxwell is pleased with the “outstanding” support he got from Cricket Australia after his unconscious fall in an Adelaide pub. Notably, the great all-rounder calls the ambulance transport to the hospital on January 19th, when he was taken there, “less than ideal.” The middle-order batter was playing in a showcase round of golf that day in January, and that evening he had gone to the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel to see Brett Lee’s band play.
However, an ambulance was called out after the all-round player, who had been drinking, fell out in the band’s dressing room. Meanwhile, the RCB stalwart wasn’t admitted to the hospital; instead, he was brought to the emergency room.
“No, I just moved on pretty quickly. I was back in training on Monday so I was pretty good. Woke up (that) morning and I just had a funny feeling. I was back into training, I was still thinking about this T20 series and the New Zealand tour. Obviously, that incident was less than ideal with the timing, but I had that week off away from the game. I came back and got back into my running, my gym program, and I felt really good and refreshed once I got back,” Glenn Maxwell said.
I am clear about my plans when I am out in the middle: Glenn Maxwell
Meanwhile, Glenn Maxwell was ecstatic after he guided his side to win the second T20I against the West Indies. The 35-year-old cricketer has made an unbeaten 120 runs from 55 balls, featuring 12 boundaries and eight sixes, with a solid strike rate of 219.
“Didn’t hit the gaps right from the outset. It was such a beautiful pitch. Once I hit a few boundaries, I calmed down. I made a good decision against Akeal when he bowled that inswinger. I was watching the ball, wasn’t trying to hit everything. There were a few miscues. I am comfortable in this format. I am clear about my plans when I am out in the middle,” he added further.
