I’m a World Cup winner but one ball from England star turned me into a scared cardboard cut-out – I was in crisis

AUSSIE showman Glenn Maxwell has revealed how a bouncer from Mark Wood sparked a mental-health crisis that threatened his career.

Maxwell descended into depression and needed a break from cricket following the 2019 World Cup in England.

His problems started after his own team thought he was vulnerable  to short bowling when dismissed by West Indies’ speedster Sheldon Cottrell and then Wood.

Maxwell, 36, admits: “I began what proved to be the worst time of my cricket career and would deepen into the worst time of my life.”

Against England at Lord’s, Maxwell tried to uppercut a short ball from Wood but nicked a catch behind to Jos Buttler.

It followed a dismissal by Cottrell earlier in the tournament and  Maxwell says people started making “ridiculous snap judgments”.

He adds: “A problem with short bowling? Me? Are you f***ing  joking? I’ve made a career out of smashing the quickest bowlers in the world all over the park.”

The Aussies beat England by 64 runs and then beat New Zealand although Maxwell was dismissed by another short ball, this time  brilliantly caught and bowled by medium-pacer Jimmy Neesham.

Australia’s next game was against South Africa at Old Trafford.

The day before, when players normally avoid very fast bowling, Maxwell received a 90mph bouncer from Mitchell Starc in the nets.

Then came another high-velocity delivery from Pat Cummins  that reared up and struck Maxwell on the forearm.

He threw down his bat in fury, believing his arm was broken.

Maxwell later discovered team coach Justin Langer had been talking to a group of journalists.

And Maxwell recalls: “Our coach said something to the effect of, ‘If you think he has a problem with the short ball, watch this!’ Then told our guys to bump the s**t out of me.”

A few minutes later, batsman Shaun Marsh was also struck on the arm and he and Maxwell went to hospital.

Maxwell says: “It was in that car that I came to the realisation that I wanted my arm to be broken.

“If I wasn’t delivering, and the perception was that I was a drag on the team, then f*** it — I may as well be out of there.”

The scan showed bruising but no break. Marsh did suffer a break and never played for Australia again.

Maxwell passed a fitness test but word had spread. He was  bombarded by South Africa’s fast bowlers and caught behind for 12 top-edging another bouncer.

The in-form Matthew Wade was called into the squad as an injury replacement and Maxwell adds: “I was embarrassed to be in the team ahead of Wadey.

“My confidence was shot, positivity had vanished. I felt like the worst player in the team.”

After Australia lost to England in the semi-final, Maxwell broke down when he saw his parents.

He says: “Mum was just as emotional as me —  everything came rushing out. She could tell her boy was hurting.”

I know this can happen again… I have a risk of spiralling as quickly as I did in 2019”

Glenn Maxwell

Instead of taking the break he needed, Maxwell played for Lancashire straight after the World Cup. And then six T20 games in Australia against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

During a team meeting, Maxwell had what felt like a panic attack and afterwards poured out his emotions with Aussie team psychologist Michael Lloyd.

He adds: “It all came out — how sick I felt, how scared, what my mind was doing to me.”

Coach Langer was supportive and it was agreed Maxwell would play the first two of the six matches then take a break.

Maxwell explains: “I think my team-mates were stunned. Their confusion was mirrored by the  public — didn’t I just smash a quick 50 and sound happy on TV?

“But using this facade to appear OK had turned me into a cardboard cut-out.”

Maxwell was at home for several weeks and consulted Dr Ranjit Menon, a psychiatrist specialising in sports people who have suffered breakdowns.

The diagnosis was depression and anxiety, with  antidepressants prescribed.

After more than a month, Maxwell began playing club matches and then came a successful Big Bash campaign.

He concludes: “I know this can happen again. There have already been moments in the years since when anxiety and stress begin to build. I know I have a risk of spiralling as quickly as I did in 2019.”

Sean Boyd was Shels’ top scorer with 10 goals

The ex-UCD and St Pat’s net-minder was brought in by Damien Duff ahead of the 2023 season.

Boyd, also 26, finished as their top scorer with 10 goals, despite starting just 12 games, coming off the bench a further 15 times.

He joined from Finn Harps, where he had made his comeback after a long lay-off with an ACL injury, in 2022 having started out at Shamrock Rovers.

Meanwhile, the President’s Cup will take place in Tolka Park on Friday February 7 with a 7:45pm kick-off.

Damien Duff’s side will face off against FAI Cup winners – managed by Kevin Doherty – in the season curtain-raiser.

It will be the first time either club has taken part in the game which was started in 2014, with Shels winning their first title since 2006 and Drogheda lifting the Cup for the first time in 19 years.

The opening round of the men’s Premier and First Divisions will be played the following weeks.

The fixtures for those two leagues and the women’s Premier Division will be released on December 17.

Shock Towie fallout revealed as two co-stars snub each other after explosive Christmas special

TWO Towie co-stars appear to have ‘snubbed’ each other after the show’s explosive Christmas special.

The Sun revealed earlier this year that a movie-length festive instalment would be coming in December.

Filming for the festive episode – which airs next month – took place this week.

Although two of the stars appear to have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Viewers know Junaid Ahmed and Dani Imbert share a close friendship.

As of writing, they are no longer following each other on the social media platform.

The pair previously flew out to Turkey last summer on an £8k ‘surgery trip’ ahead of the new series.

A source said at the time: “Junaid and Dani have been speaking about getting veneers for a while and decided now is the perfect time to take the plunge.

“They’ve chosen Comfort Zone Dental, which has treated the likes of Danielle Lloyd, Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge in the past, and are really excited to get in the dentist’s chair.

“They’ll be back in Essex and ready to get stuck into the drama before you know it, with a sparkling set of smiles each.”

Meanwhile, Towie fans accused the show of being “fake” – after spotting a huge mistake in dramatic series finale scenes.

Series 34 wrapped up with Junaid making a heartbreaking confession about his relationship with Joe Blackman.

Viewers watched as Joe started a shock romance with Junaid after splitting from Harry Derbidge.

But it all ended in tears and Junaid was seen making a call to Dani to reveal it was over.

The news soon spread to other Towie stars – namely Elma Pazar, Saffron Lempriere and Amy Childs.

However, eagle-eyed fans soon spotted a problem.

One wrote on Instagram: “You could see all the people getting phone calls wasn’t even on the phone.”

Another said: “It’s nice when your camera rings you and gives you abit of drama.”

The upcoming festive episode also sees a fan favourite make a special cameo appearance.

Original cast member James “Arg” Argent will return – six years on from leaving the show.
