Glenn. Maxwell.
Added 2019-05-29 22:51:47 +0000 UTCWe've talked about him. We've dreamed about him. We've answered dozens of Nerd Pledge quiz numbers about him. Now, at long last, the patron saint of the Final Word has made a visitation. Glenn Maxwell, on the eve of a World Cup in which he's one of the biggest names, sat down with us in a Bristol garden to take a breath and take stock.
Here are some of his lines.
"You want to show people that you're a real person, and not just a 20-foot flag outside the MCG."
"If my career ended tomorrow I'd be ok. I'd be able to find other avenues in my life where I'd still get the same joy."
"I don't understand how I'm able to hit sixes."
"That was literally everything I could have dreamed of as a kid, happening in front of my eyes."
He was funny, he was generous, he was thoughtful, and this is a beautiful chance to get to know the person rather than the player.
