Glenn Maxwell: from “WRITTEN OFF” to raised bat

SportLocation Cricket Desk · 17 Oct 2026

A short montage sets the words “WRITTEN OFF” against “SIX WINS”, then closes on an Australia-clad batter raising his bat and glove.

“WRITTEN OFF” appears beside Glenn Maxwell in Australia yellow. A few seconds later, the graphic reads “SIX WINS”. The montage builds its contrast through those two phrases, without establishing the matches or results behind them.

Its closing image is more direct: an Australia-clad batter lifts his bat and gloved hand, with a crowd in the background. Earlier, the bat is raised above his head in a tighter, grainier shot. The sequence returns to celebration, but offers no view of the play that led there.

That leaves the wording to carry the tension. “Written off” suggests doubt; “six wins” supplies a counterpoint within the montage. The bat raised against the crowd gives the ending its most vivid image, without settling the story behind the graphics.
