Australia vs Netherlands: Maxwell’s Comments After Reaching This Milestone
Feels good. All day, I was pretty cooked. I think it was to clear my head so that I could play. When Davey and Greeny left, I needed to dig a bit deeper. Patty did well, too. I can still go after the ball even if it is smashed into the wicket. When they bowl quickly, I have to move my hands faster. Try to keep the ball on the infield.
