Fast bowlers get a lot of help on Australian pitches, but if the batsman adjusts to the conditions, he can easily hit big sixes. It seems that Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are completely unaware of this. On January 12, Rizwan played such a slow innings for Melbourne Renegades in the BBL that the captain had to declare him retired out.

The 33rd match of the Big Bash League was played between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades in Sydney today. In this match, Melbourne team came to bat first. When Mohammad Rizwan came to bat at fourth position, the team’s score was 83 runs at the loss of 2 wickets in 9.1 overs. Melbourne Renegades were moving the scoreboard at a run rate of more than 9.

Rizwan did tuk-tuk, captain threw him out

Mohammad Rizwan was batting so slowly that Melbourne team could add only 42 runs in the next 6 overs. Rizwan scored 26 runs in 23 balls and his strike rate remained around 100 throughout the innings. Rizwan was not able to make the connection between ball and bat even after playing 23 balls.

Looking at the condition of the first 10 overs, the Melbourne team would be dreaming of reaching a score of around 200. But Rizwan’s innings had pushed the run-rate back. As a result, the team management declared him retired out after the 18th over and called him out of the field.

Rizwan ‘super flop’ in BBL

Glenn Maxwell may not look very strong, but he has such strength in his arms that he is capable of sending the ball out of the field. He has shown something similar in the Big Bash League. On December 28, in the BBL 2025-26 match against Sydney Thunder, he hit a six of 104 meters (Glenn Maxwell Longest Six). Maxwell played an important role in helping Melbourne Stars win by 9 wickets by playing a quick inning of 39 runs.

Ball out of ground, 104 meters away

Batting first, Sydney Thunder was all out for 128 runs. Glenn Maxwell came to bat in the 10th over for Melbourne Stars. Daniel Sams came to bowl in the 11th over. The third ball of the over came exactly in the slot, while Maxwell swung the bat and hit a 104 meter long six towards deep-mid wicket. The six was so strong that the ball went out of the field. For this reason a new ball was taken to continue the match.

This is not the first time that Glenn Maxwell has hit a six longer than 100 meters in the Big Bash League. In the last season i.e. BBL 14, Maxwell had hit a 122 meter long six, which is one of the longest sixes in the history of T20 cricket.

A 104m BOMB from Glenn Maxwell goes OUT. O.F. THE. GROUND.
