I have never seen Maxwell play a good innings. Every time I watch him he fails, and whenever he has a good one I miss it.
88 off 39 looks like it would have been bloody good to watch too.
It was, played some truly outrageous shots. One of the most enigmatic players I've ever seen.
Need to invest time into Maxwell. He's got amazing talent but he also throws his wicket away often. He's still young and should be around the team for a long time.
Warner used to be similar, a BigBash type power hitter that was extremely hot or cold. Now he's Australia's test opener.
Give the Big Show time and he will mature and get better in my opinion.

Farren Ray out for 12 - -14 weeks after hamstring surgery
But according to the Eagles web site, "The West Is Ours"
Maybe they could change it to "The West is Everyone Else's."

He's nothing like Warner, at all.
I disagree.
He is a big hitting power player with the ability to tear bowling attacks apart when he's on. He also doesn't yet have the ability to turn it off and play a sensible innings when required.
When Warner burst on to the scene he was similar in that he used to bash away, sometimes out of control and throw away an innings rather than play sensibly. He has done a great job of modifying his game, getting some control and becoming more consistent. That's why he's the test opener and one of Australia's best current batsmen.
Maxwell needs to do the same. If he can develop some patience and more of a defensive side to his game he will be a very valuable asset to the Australian team. He has the ability to smash to all parts of the ground, hit quick scores and unsettle a bowling line-up and captains field positioning with his unorthodox style. Knowing when to go and when to defend/stay is his problem.

Maxwell showed at the WACA he can build an innings responsibly with a slower, more solid start .. its just most of the time he doesn't want to (albeit he usually comes in with a reasonably loose licence to have a crack)
GWS have way too many KPF's. They should just give McCarthy to us.

Maybe a silly question but is the match only on Fox? And if so why aren't they showing the Aussie games on channel 7?

As good an innings as you'll ever see. Bloody outstanding.
Maxwell was crazy with the bat today. Probably the best innings I've seen him hit, and he looked controlled the whole way through for once. Did his bit with the ball too. #1 spinner & #1 batsman for Aus today
