Glenn Maxwell’s cross-body swing finishes low

SportLocation Cricket Desk · 5 Oct 2026

A wide base gives way to a forceful cross-body swing, ending in a low, extended finish.

Glenn Maxwell’s swing is defined here by its finish. He widens his stance, turns into the stroke and drives the bat across his body, ending low with the bat extended above him.

That low finish makes the movement easy to read: the swing does not stop at contact, but carries through into a full rotation. The sequence shows the setup and follow-through, without establishing where the ball went or what followed.

The final pose is the telling detail: Maxwell is low to the ground, turned away, with his name and number clear on the back of his shirt.
