Fair based on use of batter instead of batsman.
Bastard. I should sue.
Lawyers of CW (& Jono) unite to help me pls (pro bono, of course).

Keating couldn't give a **** about the Australian cricket team.
The article is a crock of ****. The 50s was the height of the Menzian torpor, in societal, economic and cricketing terms. Cricket nearly died in the 50s. It was horrible. I bet the ****wit who wrote that article laments 100 overs not being bowled in a day, despite the fact that when they were, teams would go to stumps at 4/170.
He's a ****.
But then, so is Maxwell.

Typical reaction from an ex-Young Lib.

Dead set how many blokes schnick off cover driving versus how many runs they score off it, especially early in innings.
Maxwell's reverse sweep is no different to everyone else's normal sweep shot.

And Hayden's sweeps vs India weren't?
Riggins
International Captain
The paddle sweep he used to play, sure. But they're basically all balls pitching outside leg anyway so it's not really the same level of risk. Most of his sweeping though I don't think so. I don't think you can be pre-meditating a sweep and still have so much time to run down the pitch and donk ****s back over their head.

..because he premeditated when he was running down the wicket?
EDIT: there's obv. a difference between premeditation, and committing. Maxwell commits to the reverse sweep, whereas guys have the thought of running down the wicket if the ball is there for it. I think some players, even the Pakistanis in this past series, when sweeping basically commit to it like Maxwell does with the reverse.

If he smashes it for four he is a hero, get out he is a dickhead. You know what you get with him and if you are going to persist with him you have to accept he will have these brainfarts. Who knows he could become a good test bat in time like Warner has.
