There are few in world cricket with Glenn Maxwell's range of shots. His ability to score 360 degrees makes him a difficult player to contain and an incredibly exciting batter to watch.
The Stars captain has been entertaining fans with his creative hitting since day one and in the 50 matches he has played for #TeamGreen so far, he’s bashed 100 fours, 56 sixes and 11 fifties.
He has scored 1304 runs in his Stars career, which makes him the BBL team’s second highest run scorer of all time behind club legend Luke Wright, who finished up with 1479 runs. Could BBL|09 be the season that Maxwell smashes those extra 176 runs needed to surpass Wright and become the Stars highest ever run scorer? It seems quite likely!
Last season, Maxwell’s strike rate of 142.06 frightened teams throughout the BBL|08 competition, as he consistently scored runs and scored them quick. This was highlighted in an exceptional knock of 82 against the Sydney Sixers, with an innings strike rate of nearly 200. He also played a real Captain’s knock against the Hobart Hurricanes in the Semi Final to drive the Stars to a six-wicket win and into the Final against Melbourne rivals, the Renegades.
Although Maxwell is regularly called up for national duties during most Big Bash seasons, he continues to be a driving force behind the team’s success.
The right-hander 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. At the 2015 World Cup he blasted a 51-ball century against Sri Lanka at the SCG, the fastest for Australia in ODIs and the second quickest in World Cup history.
Despite his ability to score rapidly, In 2017 Maxwell posted a patient maiden Test century against India in Ranchi over a four-hour stay at the crease and scored his first double century at first-class level against NSW later that year.
