Watch: Glenn Maxwell thwacked the first ball of the match for a superb six: Having watched the game of cricket for many years, we all know how the batsmen try to negotiate the new ball with a conservative approach. We see a few nudges, a few leaves, and a few defensive blocks. But not if you are a divergent out of the box thinker like the one and only Glenn Maxwell.

It so happened in an English county game that Glenn Maxwell opened the batting for Yorkshire. The Lancashire captain knowing about Maxwell’s strength against pace tried to ensnare him with spin. But Maxwell probably in his most adventurous mood had other ideas. The ever entertaining Aussie made a mockery of the dangers lurking in the new ball and bludgeoned the delivery with a delicate reverse sweep that landed over the ropes to the astonishment and dismay of the fielding side, who were seemingly bamboozled by the unexpected bolt from the blue. The Yorkshire dug out ran frenzy and everyone in the crowd applauded what was one of the most entertaining strokes that one would ever get to see on the first ball of the match.

Players like Glenn Maxwell are redefining the art of batting each day with their stunning strokes and unorthodox play, taking cricket to a whole new level.
