Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell says former cricketer Brad Hodge is Australia’s most underrated player, adding that he “should have played more” Test cricket. The comments are presented as Maxwell’s personal assessment of Hodge’s standing compared with wider recognition.
Both versions of the report focus on the same core point: Maxwell highlights Hodge as underappreciated and suggests Hodge’s Test opportunities were fewer than they might have been. The coverage does not include detailed statistics, specific matches, or responses from Hodge or cricket officials, and it does not describe a broader controversy around the claim. The only difference between the articles is wording, with one version phrasing the remark as “should’ve played more Tests” and the other as “should have played more Test cricket.”
