9.2
D Arcy Short to Maxwell, SIX, does not miss out this time. Short drops it halfway down and Maxwell is quick to latch on, he rocks back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket. It was the longest part of the ground but he had no problem clearing the rope
9.1
D Arcy Short to Maxwell, no run, missed out there. Turning into him and Maxwell gives it his all on the slog sweep, misses and the ball strikes him high on the pad
8.6

8.3
Mitchell Owen to Maxwell, 1 run, fuller than a good length and Maxwell drives it down to long-on
8.2
Mitchell Owen to Maxwell, FOUR, this is just fabulous batting. Short of length delivery around off, Maxwell arches back and ramps it over short third man. Used the pace and did the most with the extra bounce on offer
7.6
Parker to Maxwell, FOUR, back to back boundaries ruin the over for Parker. He throws this up bravely and pays the price, Maxwell clears his front leg and thumps it straight back over, no chance for long-on to stop that
7.5
Parker to Maxwell, FOUR, freebie and with Maxwell in this kind of mood, there was going to be only one result. Long hop down leg, Maxwell throws everything on the pull and gets it over short fine leg. Not off the middle but enough to collect the boundary
7.2
Parker to Maxwell, 1 run, slower and the length is dragged back, Maxwell eases it to sweeper cover
7.1

5.4
Lamichhane to Maxwell, 1 run, flatter and around off, Maxwell forces it down to long-on

Lamichhane to Maxwell, 2 runs, three twos in a row. Maxwell goes for the reverse sweep and does not time it well, clears backward point and returns for the second
5.2
Lamichhane to Maxwell, 2 runs, fifty off just 20 balls. Maxwell surely is making his 100th BBL game memorable.

4.3
Mitchell Owen to Maxwell, 1 run, short and close to off, Maxwell swats the pull to long-on

3.6
Will Sanders to Maxwell, FOUR, 63 runs off the powerplay. Maxwell and Clarke on fire. Angled into the right hander, Maxwell gets inside the line and helps it along the way. He just used the pace and direction to collect the boundary
3.5
Will Sanders to Maxwell, FOUR, boundaries continue to flow.. Not all that bad a delivery. Full and close to yorker length, Maxwell makes room and slices it over backward point. Once more uses his wrists to get it up and over the infield
3.4
Will Sanders to Maxwell, no run, back of a length close to off, Maxwell is cramped on the pull and he mistimes it to mid-wicket
2.6
Lamichhane to Maxwell, FOUR, another big over, 18 runs. This is Maxi at his best. Not allowing the spinners to bowl to him. Floated up and Maxwell uses his wrist to play the sweep this time, gets it over backward square leg and the ball runs away to the fence
2.5
Lamichhane to Maxwell, FOUR, he's toying with Lamichhane. Tossed up around off, Maxwell sits down and sweeps it over backward square. He was hitting against the turn but the fullish length allowed him to get under it
2.4
Lamichhane to Maxwell, 2 runs, bit of extra bounce this time and Maxwell is deceived by that, slices the cut and luckily for him the ball clears the cover-point region, drops safely and the pair scamper back for the second
2.3
Lamichhane to Maxwell, FOUR, he's dealing in boundaries at the moment. Picked the wrong 'un and pulled it with the spin over backward square leg. Again the length was not right from Lamichhane
2.2
Lamichhane to Maxwell, FOUR, Maxi is in the mood today. Anything slightly off and he's all over it. Lamichhane flights it outside off and Maxwell pumps it straight over mid-off. The field was up and the invitation was there, Maxi accepts
2.1
Lamichhane to Maxwell, no run, starts with a googly on a shortish length, Maxwell cuts it fine and picks out short third man

1.3
D Arcy Short to Maxwell, 1 run, darted in from round the wicket and Maxwell flicks it to deep mid-wicket
1.2
D Arcy Short to Maxwell, SIX, this is even better. Short opening the bowling is not looking like a good move. He lands this right in the arc and Maxwell needs no second invitation, heaves it powerfully and sends it into the cow corner stands
1.1
