Batting, bowling, fielding.. he's the biggest triple threat player since the great Mark Waugh!To think just a week ago there were some posters suggesting he shouldn't even make the WC squad!

JL's recent comments show he's definitely warmed to Maxwell. He couldn't stand talking about him whenever his name came up a few months ago. I reckon apart from seeing him up close in some great knocks recently they've probably had a few conversations and bonded a bit.
So I reckon he'd be a good smoky for the Ashes now too.

Maxwell is in the one-day team partially for his batting and also partially for his bowling. He doesn't "need runs" as much as other batsmen to justify his place in the team. Regardless of how many runs Khawaja, SMarsh and Warner (and to a lesser extent, Smith and Finch) score, they aren't directly competing with Maxwell for a spot in the team.
Because in the majority of instances a better option has been available (ie. the 2017/18 Ashes conspiracy).
I like Maxwell, but did laugh at this against the students in the warm up he scored 80 odd:

Lucky he was 80 odd and not 0.lol.Still a lot of cricket to be played before the ashes squad is announced but he is on the right track so far.
A great start by Maxi with Lancashire,still say he should be a certainty to be picked in the ashes squad.
He’d have played a lot more Tests if he bowled leggies or left arm.He got a 5 for in County cricket, first time in a FC match he has done it, two failures with the bat though. Needs runs obviously but could be a sneaky number six all-rounder pick if a turner appears during the Ashes.
Averaging more than 25 with the bat might have also helped.He’d have played a lot more Tests if he bowled leggies or left arm.
Symonds?
Best thing for Maxwell is to return home ASAP and have a good rest away from cricket.I think he has been overseas most of the time since February.Play in the early shield games and long innings is a must but I think T20 cricket (if selected) end of October might prevent him and others from playing some shield games.

Needs to be playing in the T20 side as he is probably the key cog in our push to win the the 2020 T20 World Cup on home soil.He shouldn’t be picked for 12 months.
Needs cricket away from the International scene.

Where you last night Luke Parker,gone missing like Australia.I never noticed any of your posts,lol.I think the shorter version of the game is really stuffing Maxwell up (and others).Would love to see him just play the longer version of the game for at least 12 months and not even play 1 day or T20 for Australia.(might not get picked for T20 or 1 day any way)Oh gawd,I never realised we had a T20 World Cup coming up,perhaps make him captain.
