Re: One day squad..No Maxwell???? - DJC - 09-12-2018
Maxwell’s response to his non-selection and apparent mis-management over the off season was pure class.
I hope he smashes the runs out and finally cements a place - he deserves it for his attitude alone.

Ponting certainly not pandering to the old boys club, saying it as he sees it...

The people laughing and smiling the most strongly about this are the opposition!
The same people who were laughing and smiling about Smith's ban!
Australian Cricket is mired in politics, it makes the Federal Coalition look relatively stable!

Maxwell isnt popular in some sections of the Aus cricket community and I did hear a rumour that he said he wouldnt be into sledging Virat Kholi and it didnt go down well
with his Aus teammates who see Maxwell as selfish and putting his personal career ahead of the team. Maxwell is mates with Kholi off the field.....
I like Peter Siddle and he is a honest trier but this isnt good for Aus cricket recalling him at his age, this is what England used to do and we are better than that....

We should be better than this but it seems that the same old political biases are in play here. Maxwell clearly deserves his chance on this tour but is clearly out of favour, can't see the squad we are sending coming back with anything other than resounding losses.

I can live with Maxwell's exclusion, but I can't abide the bull crap explanations.
And I don't understand why the Marsh brothers are retained for the exact same reasons Maxwell is excluded.
I'd love to see the photos Shaun has, they must be damning.

I'd be very surprised if the current team went down the path of sledging Kohli. Not only would that undermine the supposed new sportsmanship mantra lead by Paine, but it would actually help Kohli's performances. He thrives on verbal combat to get himself up. The Aussies would be far better suited to completely ignore Kohli, say nothing. If he wants to start anything, then let him & he can deal with the media focus on his behaviour.

This may well be Maxwell's reason for avoiding the confrontation, everyone knew that firing Kohli up was a bad idea last time he toured yet some morons still tried! Well, it's clear that they aren't all brain surgeons!

I'm absolutely gob-smacked that Punter wants Mitch Marsh as VC.
Usually I'm OK with Punter's perspectives, but this one reeks of nepotism!
Re: One day squad..No Maxwell???? - Professer E - 09-18-2018
No sane cricket person would support that decision.
