This is the Maxwell I always thought could dominate Test cricket with his burning furnace of talent and ambition.

Marsh's shoulder was a blessing.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Mmm that straight hit was a thing of beauty

 

[TheJediBrah]

I thought it was the other way around? He originally got picked because there was a spot opening and they decided to shove him in, then Clarke (I think) got dropped and they shifted him back down.

Yes exactly, he played 2 tests as opener, looked great and when Langer (or Hayden?) became available again they put him down at 6 to keep him in

Yeah but he was batting in the middle order domestically when they picked him to open in the first place. He'd opened domestically originally, but not for a while when he was selected.

 

[Johnners]

Opened in place of Langer after he was hit in the head by Ntini iirc.

you were shitting on him a few weeks ago

 

[Shri]

If he plays this well in India, imagine how good he can be in roads at home.

I have never said a bad thing about Glenn Maxwell, in fact I've been a lone voice I dare say in support of him.

Right, I was sure he was already batting #4 for WA by then.

Lol Maxi cramping up... his longest innings to date?

Creepy Howsie wizard stream strikes again.

 

[Black_Warrior]

But here's the thing though..will he bat on roads with as much concentration and discipline?

 

[anil1405]

Well played Smitteh.

 

[adub]

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but this Steve Smith **** looks like he can really bat a bit

 

[Gnske]

I'm sorry but the rate this guy is scoring hundreds is just ridiculous.

What a player.

 

[Spark]

actual hero

 

[mr_mister]

well played smitteh!

 

[cnerd123]

Sigh

Too good.

Jaddu save us please

Reminder that TPC made his return to test cricket roughly 4 years ago, scored a 92 in that innings, and has scored 19 test centuries since

(TPC had also not made a FC to for roughly 15 months prior to his test recall)
