Glenn Maxwell on why he won’t get picked, comeback from injury

Glenn Maxwell and Peter Siddle shared a brief celebration at the pub on Thursday night when India, bowled out for 46 by New Zealand, fell one short of Australia’s Test total in Cape Town 13 years ago.

“We were watching with Sidds and he was talking about the 47 all out [by Australia in Cape Town in 2011], so as soon as they got out for 46 he was fist pumping and loving it,” Maxwell told this masthead.

“It shows anything is possible. It was pretty amazing, extraordinary to watch, we’d just finished our day at Junction Oval, checked the score, it was 6-34 and by the time we got to the pub for dinner I think it was 9-40, and all happening so fast.

“Then the way New Zealand batted on that wicket against [Jasprit] Bumrah, with the ball going sideways and seaming all over the place was pretty cool to watch. Pretty hard, brutal Test cricket.”
