Glenn Maxwell has revealed the unusual celebration of his fourth T20 International half-century was an ode to Australia head coach Justin Langer. Maxwell’s 56 from just 38 balls powered Australia to a five-wicket win over Zimbabwe, and his knock was testament to the work he’s done off the field.
Upon reaching 50, Maxwell pointed two fingers to his eyes as he raised his bat towards the Australian dressing rooms, a small tribute to the simple message Langer has preached.
“I’ve been doing a fair bit of work with (Justin Langer) recently about making sure I was watching the ball as hard as I can,” he said.
“I’ve been doing a lot of work in the nets making sure I’m really concentrating and that’s all I’m thinking about at the moment. It was just a little gesture towards him.”
