“There may be an SOS to Glenn Maxwell, just back from a broken leg, who is due to be named for the one-day series…
With Australia wrapping up the first Test in Brisbane in a fashion as predictable as a Shane Warne rant on Fox Cricket about a…
The comparison with Mitchell marsh’s chances are different I think to Shaun, who is a far superior batsman to any of the aforementioned and if anything, was probably under utilised in odi cricket whilst Maxwell may have been lucky at some points to keep his place.
I tend to disagree with the Maxwell personality ‘issue,’ he seems like a perfectly affable guy to me. I just think some players are a bit unlucky: no more, no less. For me, the point of the piece was simply that some people hung on to him to the point of bitterness. Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time read it. Appreciate it

Not sure evidence – either historical or current – is your ally in this situation but anyway. I’ll keep this up. Worked out great for the Australian team that he wasn’t picked, so brilliant work by the selectors.

Doubtful. His problems with quick bowling have always been evident and well known.
Marsh also had a strong record, including getting dropped after scoring 180 not out – so he can also feel aggrieved from previous selections.
Also 7 FC tons is hardly earning the right. At the end of the day, the right selection was made. That is the most important thing
However, thank you for reading 🙂

Different players. Marsh – who did underperform at test level – is an all rounder and his FC record warrants that. Maxwell is a batsman and part time spinner who you do not need in Aus. That being said, A player more people in the team likes is a perfectly reasonable tie breaker. Perhaps Maxwell needed to be better at being a team player (if personality clashes are a reason for his non selection – which I do not think is true – I just think he is an average red ball player. )

No one can argue that Shaun Marsh – and his performances in that Ashes (match winning ton over a long period which no way maxwell could do etc)- warranted the selectors decision. Also, Maxwell scored his 278 after not being selected in the first test, not before. These are key facts. His record hardly warranted a continued selection. This is also to go with a glut of players and coaches (Lehmann, Smith etc) saying he didn’t train properly etc.
