Glenn Maxwell’s raised bat, and a hunch about a hundred

SportLocation Cricket Desk · 15 Oct 2026

A raised-bat moment frames Maxwell’s interview recollection of thinking someone was set for a hundred.

Glenn Maxwell’s bat is raised above the crowd, but the clip’s telling detail comes in the interview between the on-field images. He recalls saying, on arrival, that he felt someone was getting a hundred that night; later, he thought it might be him. The available speech is unclear in places, so the exact sequence of events is best left there.

That recollection gives the raised-bat image a little more context without settling what happened in the match. The montage cuts from Maxwell speaking beneath the Cricket Australia backdrop to a wide view of the pitch, then back to him with bat and glove aloft. It is a compact link between expectation and the visible moment, not a full account of the innings.

The final image is unmistakable: Maxwell in Australia yellow, celebrating with his bat held high and his other glove raised. The clip leaves the scoreline and match circumstances unstated.
