A close look at Maxwell’s work at the crease, with the bowler approaching and the ball in front of him.

Glenn Maxwell is set at the crease as the bowler comes in. With the ball close in front of him, he keeps his bat up and his attention on the delivery. The moment is about the decision at the heart of batting: judge the ball, then choose how to meet it.

The sequence also offers a wider view of the contest, with the wicketkeeper crouched behind the stumps and fielders stationed beyond the pitch. But the detail that holds it together is the exchange between bowler and batter. Maxwell is ready, the ball is on its way, and the next choice belongs to him.
