I have never got the hype about Maxwell? Is it because he got called the big show that everyone thinks he is a gun player. The amount of times I have watched him bat wanting to see this show and to be let down just goes on and on. Average player.
Based on who has been playing for Australia at test level could Maxwell have been given more chances? Yes possibly but making selection blunders on others does not mean doing it with Maxwell either.
And what is all this crap about preparing for the Dukes ball in England? They have been using adukes balls forever just as we have used the Kookaburra and for over 100 years there was no fear of this ball. Has this ball become magical all of a sudden?
Good players don’t care what ball is used, they adapt and perform as they should.
Never heard Border, Waugh, Taylor, Boon, the chappels etc etc ever mention this magical ball they may face going into an ashes series.
English conditions are different to here, I played there for many years and you just need to adapt both as a bowler and a batsman. I am still laughing at how we are using Dukes here in the shield thinking this will help our players.
It’s a bloody cricket ball for a God’s sake,not a magic wand.
