Maxwell celebrates World Cup win

By PETER DOUGLAS

FORMER South Belgrave junior cricketer Glenn Maxwell was last night celebrating his role in Australia’s World Cup triumph.
The talented all-rounder has proven to be a standout performer throughout the tournament and stepped it up for the final.
His presence in the field was a highlight, which included a spectacular run-out to wrap up the New Zealand innings.
Maxwell also relished in the role of front-line spinner.
He contained the Kiwi batsman, while also claiming the key wicket of opener Martin Guptill at a vital stage in the match.
Guptill had loomed as a key player for New Zealand, after being among the highest run-scorers for the tournament.
Fortunately for Maxwell, a rather innocuous looking delivery was enough to remove Guptill’s off-stump.
Maxwell finished with 1/37.
No doubt the South Belgrave Cricket Club, and the Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association, will still be celebrating Maxwell’s fine achievements.
