Maxwell says the BBL is 'robbing' fans

Melbourne Stars batter Glenn Maxwell has claimed that the spate of incorrect decisions by BBL umpires calls for a dedicated review system.

He told SEN that the lack of DRS has been a huge talking point this season and players and fans are asking for it to be used not only at the international level.

"Early on I said I wouldn't mind going all out and having all the bells and whistles," he said on SEN Summer Breakfast.

"But I think when you can see a lot of the dismissals that could be overturned just by a quick glance, there's probably some (scope) to use what we have at the moment.

"Let's just have a quick look and see if we can notice anything, I think we're having too many of our star players in the BBL getting rough decisions and that's costing the fans who want to watch the best players.

"If you get a decision that might not be right, it might be robbing them of their money."

Maxwell's teammate Nicholas Pooran, from the West Indies, has been a stand out during this season with Maxwell saying he is in awe of Pooran's skills.

"It's pretty incredible," he said.

"I suppose that I was lucky to share a changeroom with him in the IPL, even in training some of the stuff he can do is so much better than everyone else.

"When we were able to sign him, there was a lot of excitement around our staff knowing all the power he has.

"We knew he'd take the BBL by storm, but we probably didn't think it would be to that extent that early, but gee it's good to watch."
