One day squad..No Maxwell????

[ElwoodBlues1]

I was astounded when he was picked.  I thought that his time in Australian colours was long gone.

Picking Maxwell now would be admitting a mistake ... or perhaps Smith could say that Maxwell has taken his advice onboard and is now "training smarter".

When White got picked over Maxwell everyone knew Maxy was in the sin bin and would continue to be in Coventry......agree about admitting a mistake, aint going to happen
but got no doubt he will be in the WC team along with Nathan Lyon...
Darcy Short should be in the team too....class player IMO and No 3 could be Finch or Warner......Short and Maxwell also bowl spin which seems to be handy taking the pace off the ball.
The new Pommy ODI lineup with Roy, Hales, Butler, Morgan love the quicks and dine out when the fielding restrictions are in.....time to do what they do and bowl Lyon and crew to take the pace off the ball and cause frustration that leads to poor shots. Players like Ali, Rasheed, Plunkett and Woakes look like world beaters thanks to our pathetic selection issues, I might sound biased but England aint that good and we should be doing better on our own dung heaps...
Smith has been drinking his own bathwater of late too....was trapped plumb by Root but carried on like it was a poor decision instead of checking his own technique and figuring out playing around your pads all the time will eventually lead to trouble, had a great summer but needs to concentrate better in this format and think its not going to be as easy as the test series....ditto for Warner.
