You seem obsessed with Finch for some reason, despite the discussion being about Maxwell.
You’ve gone wrong, and should seek help. Maybe stay off the computer?
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Go to google, search any of the following;
Glenn Maxwell ODI stats/best innings/ match winner.
Stop being a goose
'Pure class': Maxwell run chase leads Australia to Sri Lankan victory
Surely you’re being facetious? Alternatively I’ve been in a fever dream where things like google, cricinfo and many many other cricket stat pages existed.
Anyway, I gave you one for free, Manchester 2020, 3rd ODI, hitting 6’s for fun despite coming in at 4 or 5 down for nowt.

Lol, solid reply there turbo. The ‘nice pearl jam shirt, how many songs do you know’ of roar comments.

So what you’re saying is, you didn’t follow the match, read the article or really watch any odi cricket at all?
Maxwell has done it plenty of times before. Vs England at old Trafford circa 2020 is one of my favourites.

Huh? Get over myself for what? 280 is par for a batsmen to score?

Doesn’t take long does it. Bat first specialist, except for those times he bats well in the second innings. If he crushes them in the first innings they’re worthless runs, if he does it in the second it’s about time/I was nervous/didn’t need to play them like that/still doesn’t make up for….
Bloke could hit a triple ton and people would criticise him for hogging the strike.

And a puff piece on his new partner just below it. PR machine in overdrive.
Six Points: No.1 pick needs to cut the dirty play out now, and why the Bailey Smith scandal was handled perfectly
Has there been a rule change that awards teams more points for beating certain teams? Reckon any of the Eagles, Dons, Power, Dogs, GWS would take being ‘the worst 5-1 team’ right now.
Stupid comment.
AFL Friday Footy Fix: Giants rule the skies, but Saints' Jacks bring down the beanstalk
Agree with this. Watched plenty of footy in the early 90s, whilst I enjoyed it im often left puzzles to what matches people remember – none of the ones I watched.
Don’t like this rule though, it’s too broad and I can’t see it being anything other than a cause for more abuse at lower levels.

Having played a fair bit of rugby I’d say it’s been relaxed a lot. Still, it’s mostly respectful, although some of the coaching scrum halves do is borderline.
The problem is, the Hawthorn example was respectful, and to the non officiating umpire. No swearing, no getting exasperated. It’s the kind of thing that gets asked plenty of times during a rugby game and is rightfully allowed.
The AFL isn’t prepared for the vitriol the umpire crackdown is going to set off
A player can ask the referee about his decision on the Rugby pitch, respectfully. Going from Mondays game, an AFL player is not allowed to say anything at all – even if the player paid the free took a huge dive.
So, you’re not comparing apples with apples in this case.

Jeff, apologies, I posted a more detailed question but it has vanished into the ether.
The main point was why is it now a problem?
From 9 months ago:
“David Warner, Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell, opted out of the upcoming white ball tours… Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Daniel Sams and Marcus Stoinis also requested not to be considered for the tour”
I don’t remember people caring much back then. As has also been pointed out, the IPL started after the white ball tour, so he did rest.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
You didn’t answer my question though.
Why is it now a problem? Centrally contracted players skip white ball cricket on a regular basis. Why is Pat Cummins doing what he and others have regularly done now so bad? Why are you now expecting fast bowlers to be available for all games across all formats?
As for them being meaningless, as far as I’m concerned they are less important than the test series.
Cummins is these captain, spearhead of the test bowling attack, I want him playing tests at 100%. If that means he doesn’t play ODIs and T20is all the time then so be it.

You certainly don’t spout some of the drivel that others have on here, but for someone who’s post I usually look forward to reading you have seemed to be running a more critical eye over the team and PC recently.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Yeah, zealots do be like that aye. It’s a shame, as there is plenty to like about the current test team.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
I didn’t say you did. In fact I was at pains to mention that I didn’t think you did. Do you disagree that some are? How would you characterise a poster describing him as treasonous?
Centrally contracted Australian players have been unavailable for white ball tours regularly. Centrally contracted Australian Test captains have also been unavailable for white ball tours before.
What I’m asking is, why is it now a massive problem – why is Pat Cummins not playing in a meaningless ODI after playing 3 back to back tests an issue? Mitchell Starc isnt playing either.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Yeah, it does. This comment and your measuring stick (did you mean a yardstick Donny) don’t, but it doesn’t matter, none of your comments are grounded in reality.
Anyway, have a good weekend, big game for Freo coming up.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Ha ha, yeah, righto. He lives rent free your head doesn’t he.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Yeah, pretty much this. Hell hat no fury like a Western state scorned.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
What measuring stick?
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Creeping in? It’s been happening for a while now, and Cummins isn’t the first, and certainly wont be the last.
I doubt he’ll be captain in either of the white format – if he were he’d surely have to be available for most games. As it stands, as Test captain, he’s been available for all games.
There’s a few on this site who are death riding him (not saying you are Jeff) and it’s frankly pretty disgusting. I’d say they should be ashamed of themselves but I’m not sure the have the prerequisite’s.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Shame for him to miss out, but… he has struggled to string games together since being brought into the squad.
He’ll be back no doubt. Too much talent not to be.
'Goodness me:' Major shock as Jhye Richardson axed from Cricket Australia's contract list
Not bad for a bunch of soft, selfish millennials bereft of leadership and missing the greatest coach on the planet.
I digress, great article, glad for Carey, was worried he was on a hiding to nothing. Green continues to impress, and Lyon showed how underrated he often is.
Benaud-Qadir Trophy player ratings
You suspect wrong again El Don. But that’s alright, you can’t help it, you’re deranged.
Anyway, BBQ at your gaff when Freo finishes top 4 and the eagles make the 8? I’ll bring the beers.
AFL NEWS: Dogs careful with Crozier after fainting, Fyfe back out for six, Thomas suffers internal bruising
Listen, maybe you thought this article was a nice way to compliment the Hawks, but some of your descriptions of the players are downright insulting, in particular the 22yo 13 gamer, Blanck. That you and your other scribes have underrated them for the past 2 seasons reflects more on poor analysis than Sam Mitchell being a master coach. Do better.
