Glenn Maxwell has retired from international cricket, closing a T20 international career of 130 matches and 2,897 runs at an average of 28.97.
Maxwell, 38, retired from one-day internationals last year and has now left the Australian T20 side as well, along with his state team, Victoria. The announcement came on Tuesday.
The rest of the T20 international ledger reads: a strike rate of 154.42, 51 wickets and 62 catches. His highest score in the format was 145 not out against Sri Lanka in 2016.
Across formats he played seven Tests and 149 one-day internationals, and he appeared at this year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
He is not finished with the game. He will carry on in franchise T20 cricket, including with the Melbourne Stars in the coming Big Bash League season.
Speaking on The Final Word, in remarks reported by ABC News, he said telling his Victorian teammates that his last one-day game would also be his last for the state was "probably harder than I thought it was going to be", and that he "got a little choked up".
"I'm grateful for the time I was able to play for my country," he said.
Asked about the career as a whole, he said he "would have bitten your hand off" had it been offered to him when he first joined Victoria, around 2009.
There is one feature of the record that deserves a closer look than it has so far received. He scored 2,897 runs. He averaged 28.97. The two figures are the same four digits in the same order, with the decimal point moved two places.
This is not a durable arrangement. A single further innings in international cricket, of any length, would move the average and break the correspondence immediately. There is no score he could make that would preserve it and no way to decline the attempt while still batting.
It survives, therefore, only because he has stopped. The alignment is held in place by retirement, which is the one instrument available that freezes both numbers at once, and it has been applied at precisely the moment it was needed.
The rest of the card declines to join in. The strike rate of 154.42 bears no relation to anything, the 51 wickets and 62 catches are simply 51 wickets and 62 catches, and the 130 appearances are a plain count. Only the batting agrees with itself.
The Department of Unnecessary Research has written to ask whether a career may be declared complete on arithmetic grounds, and expects no reply. He has finished on a number that reads the same twice. No governing body recognises it, no record book lists it, and nobody can now take it away.
