It started with the first delivery of the 18 finished; Will Sutherland bowled a full toss that looked dangerously close to being above the waist. Maxwell swung hard and flicked it over deep square leg, though his bottom hand slipped off the handle. The Melbourne Renegades bowler was lucky not to call a no-ball, but the dangerous batsman wasn’t finished yet.
Sutherland then bowled another full toss but ended up being punished even harder by the Australian all-rounder. Maxwell swung with all his might, sending the ball 95 meters over the deep end. However, he did not believe that it was not called a ball without a ball.
