It was snapped in half' - Maxwell explained about his injury
'It was snapped in half' - Maxwell explained about his injury
Maxwell is set to spend an indefinite period on the sidelines after breaking his leg when a friend fell on his leg during a 50th birthday party on November 19.
Speaking to Cricket Australia's Unplayable Podcast from his home as he recovered from surgery on his fractured fibula, Maxwell explained how the incident had unfolded on wet synthetic grass in the backyard of a friend's place.
"One of my mates, who was also one of my schoolteachers, we were laughing about something and I pretended to chase him off somewhere," Maxwell said.
"I reckon we both took about three or four steps out there, and both slipped at the same time. I just got my foot stuck a little bit, and he fell, unfortunately at a really bad angle and landed straight on my leg.
"It just snapped. I heard and felt every part of it. It was pretty painful. I was screaming a bit and he was like, 'please tell me you're joking, please tell me you're joking'."
Maxwell lay on the ground for 50 minutes in agony as friends had to shelter him from the rain in the outdoor area before eventually driving him to hospital.
