Glenn Maxwell has blasted a record-breaking T20 ton to inspire Australia to a series win against the West Indies.
Glenn Maxwell has clubbed the fastest Twenty20 international century on Australian soil to propel his country to a series win against the West Indies.
Maxwell, Aaron Finch and Josh Inglis share the Australian record for fastest T20I centuries — 47 balls, all in overseas fixtures.The Victorian's innings was a classic counter-punch, reviving Australia from a wobbly 3-64 in the seventh over. Maxwell reached his half-century from 25 balls and kept that pace to his ton, blending audacious shot-making with pure stroke play.
"So I was just trying to give myself the best chance to use my hands to guide into a gap or get it over the in-field and it really seemed to work for me."The benchmark is 3-263 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in 2016 when Maxwell made his career-best 145 not out. Left-arm quick Spencer Johnson replaced Sean Abbott who has also been ruled out of Tuesday's series finale because of a shoulder injury.What time does the Super Bowl start tomorrow morning?'Preventable tragedy': One third of Australian students are failing to learn to read proficiently, report saysAdvertising icon and philanthropist Harold Mitchell dies aged 81
