Glenn Maxwell Is Really Good Off-Spinner: Quinton de Kock

While speaking in the pre-match press conference, Quinton de Kock said that Australia has a well-balanced bowling attack.

“I think they’re a really good bowling attack. I think they’re well-balanced. You know, obviously, you’ve got Starc here as a left arm, he swings it a lot up front, bowls really good yorkers toward the end.

Got a guy like Hazelwood and Pat Cummins who don’t really give you bad balls, got seriously good bouncers. And then you’ve got obviously Cam Green now coming in who adds more balance to their seam bowling attack. And he also bowls at 140 plus,” de Kock said.

The South Africa opener also said that Glenn Maxwell is a really good off-spinner in white-ball format and many teams underestimate his bowling.

“Then Maxi [Glenn Maxwell], I think a lot of guys underrate him. I think he’s a really good offie, especially in the white-ball format. He keeps it very tight. I think teams underestimate him. I think that’s why he does really well because I think he knows he’s a good spinner. I think other guys don’t give him the respect he deserves. But that’s what I’ve seen and watched over the years,” the left-handed batter further said.
