+xmaxwell is pretty important for the balance of the team. Our team is already super conservative. Most teams have selected a finish. He's averaged around 30 this world cup at a strike rate of 200 while chipping in a few overs. He has also generated very good chances in the field As much as I'd love him to average 60 like he did last world cup he's done his job its not the selectors living in the past, its those that want to drop maxwell who think you can win the world cup with the sort of team you'd pick in the 1990s. The game has moved on since then and you need a variety of batsmen to succeed. Maxwell gives us that balance Gday gb jaszyjim - Your comments are interesting, as for Maxwell, I hope a miracle does happen & he performs against the quality sides we are going to face. Playing against weaker teams his stats are inflated. If the selectors aren't living in the past, why did it take them so long to select the team they finally did to play against England? I agree we need a batsman of Maxwell's ilk, as he performed in the past, I just don't believe he is it at the moment. Really hope I'm wrong for the sake of us Aussies.
