How the stats prove Glenn Maxwell wrong

In one of the most iconic moments of last year’s BBL Maxwell amazingly backed away and left a Ryan Duffield delivery that cannoned into his middle stump.

"The season definitely didn't start off too well. But after the BBL, I think I have been in pretty good form. That dismissal hasn't changed my mind set at all," Maxwell told The Times of India.

However with the help of our Opta stats we can reveal that ‘The Bigshow’s’ form has in fact skyrocketed since that horror wicket.

Maxwell has batted 45 innings in his ODI career at an average of just over 35 runs.

However after leaving that middle stump delivery of Duffield, Maxwell scored at an impressive average of 64 in this year’s Cricket World Cup.
