We will have to disagree on Maxwell, if we can justify someone like Warner at the top of the order because he can be a match winner, and the continual repeat efforts put into Marsh because he can be a match winner, it's hard to justify excluding Maxwell because he's at another level not just in batting but in the field.
Everything Warner or Marsh can do Maxwell can do, but there is stuff Maxwell does that they can't do, all we need him to do is feel at home and relax into the game and he will win test matches off his own efforts!
I don't get the criticism about Maxwell throwing his wicket away, fans make a big deal of it because of how it happens, some weirdness. But as an inconsistency it's no different to Warner poking and prodding at pies, or Marsh having a moment and lobbying a dolly to mid-off.
It's a bit like in ODI or T20 when Finch goes out LBW again, it's his gig, fans get frustrated but somehow it's worse than a knick behind or a doddle catch to forward of the wicket. The outrage seems rather arbitrary.
