Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[spf]

Overall a pretty meaningless series but we did ok given our craptastic batting.  Gave up 20 - 30 too many bowling and  our top order Fing useless again.  Lynn opening,  which Muppet came up with that brainiac decision?  Lasted as long as I expected against Steyn - one ball.  As for Head,  I thought bats had to make runs to get a gig?  What's he ever done?    I get the feeling Maxy is coming in too late in the order, needs to bat one slot higher. A lot of work to do but it could be worse.

Here's one for you; open with him. It worked for Gilchrist, it was the reason he ended up opening with Mark Waugh, they had to change things up after losing the first three games. Steve Waugh had a moment of inspiration, swapped him with Tom Moody with 20 minutes warning, the rest is history. Why couldn't Maxwell open as an unorthodox attacking opener?
