Ranchi:&acirc;u00c2u0080u00c2u0088His voice choking in emotion, Australia's Glenn Maxwell yesterday said he did not want the ongoing second Test against India to be his last, as a 'sleepless night' gave way to a dream day for the maiden centurion.
Making a Test comeback after more than two years, Maxwell hit a career-best 104 and put on 191 runs with skipper Steve Smith (178) to take Australia to 451. &ldquo;It's been a long time since 2014, my last Test. I didn't want to waste the opportunity, didn't want to make it my last Test that's for sure,&rdquo; Maxwell said after the second day's play.
Known for his exploits in the shorter formats, Maxwell had got opportunities in Tests thrice and failed in all of them. The 28-year-old got a lucky call-up after a shoulder injury ruled out Mitchell Marsh.
Maxwell was axed after Australia were blanked 0-2 in the two match series in 2014. He scored 37 and 4, while in bowling returned 0/78 as Australia lost to Pakistan by 356 runs in the second Test.
Maxwell has now become the 13th player to score centuries in all three formats of the game.
&ldquo;I thought about it all night. I went through about 300 to 400 different scenarios that could've happened the next day, most of them weren't good. Even thinking about it now I've got a frog in my throat. It's as special a moment as I've had in my career and hopefully it's not the last. So much emotion fell out of me as soon as I got that hundred.&rdquo;
He hoped that he would be able to keep his Test career on the right track from now on.
