The Joy of Six: Glenn Maxwell’s greatest innings for Australia

From the miracle of Mumbai, gamechanging centuries and a rare Test ton, here are half a dozen of the Big Show’s most destructive knocks

Glenn Maxwell has bowed out from international cricket leaving behind a trail of destruction razed by his most blistering innings and unconventional shots. Yet for all the outrageous highlights and gamechanging knocks, the 38-year-old’s legacy is tainted by an unshakeable feeling that he remained an unfulfilled talent.

The Big Show was denied a farewell appearance for Australia when overlooked for their T20 squad to face England this month before bringing the curtain down on his international career. But the three-time World Cup winner already has a long list of show-stopping performances to point to including arguably the greatest ODI knock of all time.
