Glenn Maxwell's<\/a> big hitting not only destroyed the New Zealand bowling in Australia's T20 victory in Wellington<\/a>, it left a seat looking decidedly second-hand.<\/p>\n

Maxwell took 28 runs off a Jimmy Neesham over, with one of the two sixes he hit smashing the back of a plastic seat at Sky Stadium.<\/p>\n

Stadium boss Shane Harmon tweeted that the damaged seat wouldn't go to waste, but would be auctioned off to raise money for the Wellington Homeless Women's Trust.<\/p>\n

Maxwell came to the party after the match, signing the broken seat and throwing in a little extra as well.<\/p>\n

"I'll make a donation, and an apology for breaking a seat," Maxwell said.<\/p>\n

"I hadn't hit too many in the middle so I was happy to just get one over the fence."<\/p>\n

Maxwell's innings of 70 from 31 balls contained eight fours and five sixes, with his last 61 runs coming from just 21 balls.<\/p>\n

Neesham in particular took a hammering, with his four overs costing 60 runs. Maxwell said after the game he was pleased to finally get the upper hand on his former teammate at Kings XI Punjab.<\/p>\n

\"Glenn<\/p>\n

"I enjoyed that. Being good mates, it was nice to get a hold of him," he said.<\/p>\n

"I couldn't lay a bat on him in his first over. To be fair I should hit him. I faced him so many times in the IPL and we trained together. It was good fun."<\/p>\n
