Glenn Maxwell hilariously thanks D'Arcy Short as he accidentally saves 3 runs for Stars

re were a lot of on-field moments during Big Bash League (BBL) clash between Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes at Blundstone Arena on Monday. Highlights of match included Andre Fletcher breaking into a Caribbean impromptu after taking a brilliant diving catch, Marcus Stoinis and Johan Botha exchanging verbal volleys during first innings, etc. However, one of those moments that really stood out among se is of Stars skipper Glenn Maxwell giving a hilarious thumbs up to D'Arcy Short during second innings.

'Invertently saves three'

This happened in fourth over of Hurricanes' run-chase when Maxwell h introduced himself into attack to roll over his arms. On second delivery, Ben McDermott, who was on strike hit one down ground with a lot of power and it appeared as if batsman would succeed in clearing boundary with ease but that wasn't case, unfortunately.

As ball was struck with brute force, his batting partner Short did t have much time to judge where ball was heing towards and it was too late by time he realised that it was coming his way. As a result, ball ended up hitting n-striker and deflected to mid-on. 

Even though batsmen did succeed in completing an easy single, D'Arcy Short unintentionally ended up saving a certain boundary as Glenn Maxwell obliged by giving a hilarious thumbs up to n-striker after he h just saved three valuable runs for Melbourne Stars.

RE: Marcus Stoinis And Johan Botha Exchange Verbal Volleys On Pitch During A BBL Game

Melbourne Stars register a much-needed win

Hobart Hurricanes skipper Peter Handscomb won toss and decided to chase. His move seemed to have paid off after Stars were reduced to 49/3. However, opener Marcus Stoinis h or ideas as he carried out rescue act by playing an anchor's role to perfection. Perth cricketer scored an unbeaten 97 off 55 deliveries at a strike rate of 176.36 including seven boundaries and same number of maximums as Melbourne franchise finished ir innings at 183/6 in ir 20 overs.

In reply, wicket-keeper batsman Ben McDermott held on to one end when wickets tumbled from or during Hobart's challenging run chase, and just when it appeared that opener would end up scoring a match-winning century, his innings was cut short for a quickfire 58-ball 91 when Andre Fletcher took a blinder to send him back to dugout.
