WATCH: Glenn Maxwell's amusing reaction to first-ball wicket with 'very tame' half-tracker
RCB were initially questioned after bringing Maxi on with the new rock. It worked a treat as he dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad first ball.
After a dismal Test series, and a rocky start to the one-day series, Michael Clarke was left stunned after copping a verbal barrage from all who had an opportunity to voice themselves. But, it should be a time that we, as Australians, should get behind our country’s leaders and support them through good times and bad.
From respected cricketing stalwarts to the overly disgruntled general public, Clarke has come under tough scrutiny for his lack of runs this summer. However, with selectors still dubious of Ricky Ponting’s return to the World Cup squad, it is highly likely that Clarke will lead the Australian cricket team to the sub-continent and will strive wholeheartedly to try and retain the coveted title.
Following the fourth one-dayer in Adelaide, Clarke was booed from the ground following another lacklustre performance. As an Australian, it was disappointing to see an Australian crowd completely snub an Australian cricket captain – a title, that has in the past, drawn only the utmost respect from all Australians.
The public were also quick to call for the head of Ricky Ponting following a relatively short form-slump. This dramatic need for change is what is disrupting the overall stability of Australian cricket.
There needs to be a realisation that Australia will not always be a powerhouse and those 20 years of dominance is likely to wane.
And with this realisation that times may someday be dark in the world of Australian cricket, in order to one day again be a power, we need to continue to support Australians – as Australians should.
