Maxwell, with a strike rate of 123 in One Day cricket, has the best strike-rate of any player with over 1000 career runs. The Melbourne native’s 51-ball century against Sri Lanka is the fastest ever by an Australian, and the 12th fastest overall. Maxwell has also scored the fastest ODI half-century for Australia, bagging an 18-ball 50 in 2013 against India.
The Australian’s prowess, though, seems to be on the decline in recent years. Due to a combination of poor form and mental health issues, Maxwell is currently not a fixture in the Australian ODI team. However, at 31, the Big Show is not yet a spent force. Once back in the national fold, the right-hander could unleash more ferocious hitting and remain a key personnel in the team.
