Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Wow, you are not impressed with Maxwells batting?
I think he looks far more composed than anyone bar Smith.
He is a class above the others and makes Warner look foolish.
I also think Handscombe, for his first tour has done pretty well.

Yes, Maxwell looked at home and deserves first go in the Ashes series. I wouldn't mind going 4 quicks, Starc, Hazelwood, Cummind and Pattinson with Maxwell in the First Test, although Lyon's done a great job. Batting will look alot stronger at home with each position covered. Indian conditions are so foreign to most of our batsmen. Bar the 3rd Test it was a tough low scoring series so not worried so much batting averages in the series. I thought we'd be whitewashed totally, like every other country has been in India, but to make such a tight contest was very encouraging.
