Glenn Maxwell knows how to express, be it with his bat or verbally. During the second ODI at the Adelaide Oval, Maxwell was seen exchanging words with the India captain, Virat Kohli. Well, it didn’t end there. Glenn Maxwell picked up the crucial wicket of Ambati Rayudu and gave him a send-off as well. However, it all started a ball before, when Virat completed a double, and later, gave a look to Maxwell standing at the other end.

Maxwell rides Australia to top in Adelaide

In the Sydney ODI, the all-rounder got to bat in the final three overs; leaving questions over his batting position in the team. Later, in the following game at the Adelaide Oval, Maxwell starred with both bat and ball. Australia batted first in the second ODI, and Maxwell had played a cameo of 48 off 36 balls.

In the second innings, the 30-year old even got a wicket of Ambati Rayudu; stamping his authority as an all-rounder. However, Maxwell made his presence felt with his verbal volleys too. During India’s batting when nothing seemed to work, captain Finch brought Maxwell onto the attack; and the off-spinner gave hosts a vital breakthrough.

As he picked Rayudu’s wicket; who wasn’t looking convincing in his stay at the crease, Maxwell uttered a few words, or perhaps vent out his frustration on the batsman. Though the words weren’t clear, the intention surely was.

Marsh’s ton help Australia near 300 score

The hosts didn’t score 300 but came near, courtesy Shaun Marsh’s seventh ODI hundred. The left-hander, who in Tests failed miserably, found his touch back in the white-ball cricket. In the first ODI, he scored a fifty, while in the second one, he completed a three-digit total. Also, his hundred on Tuesday in Adelaide is his third is past six innings. Australia, at the end of fifty overs, scored 298 for nine.
