53no maxy head screwed on right, do we dare to dream he gets to 100?

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Seems we have a selector here......

He'll be back......I guarantee it

I said he would be there at stumps so he will hit his 100 in over 8 tomorrow.

 

[Twizzle]

why does it take so long to change the ball ?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

His first class record seems ok. Is he copping shit cos of the way he gets out in other formats?

 

[Eelectrica]

Credit where credits due, well played Maxwell on your 50. Hopefully it's the first of many because the selectors have made it crystal clear they're not going to play a specialist batsman in at 6.
Better hope Smithy gives him a few overs to bowl lest he be seen as a specialist batsman...

pretty much, he doesn't really have a test record to go by

he's had some of the biggest brain fades I've ever seen

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The sensible show so far.

Excellent partnership so far. Need to be there at stumps though.

Got out for single figures playing a reverse sweep batting three in a test in the UAE if I remember rightly. Sums it up really.

But he's been very good today

Random question?

Is Smith our most important individual player since Border in the 80s?

Yes.

 

[hineyrulz]

Maxy should of been playing the last 30 tests.

shutup

Random question?

I don't think we've been as fragile as we have in recent years since the mid 80's so on that basis I would say yes, in all conditions we are overly reliant on the skipper to the same extent as AB in the dark days

Or really dream and a century in each innings.

If that did happen I would name my next child Glenn, not just Glen as most people would.

 

[hineyrulz]

shutup

 

[Bazal]

Jeez that's a ripper of a shot really....that ball didn't get anywhere near as high as he expected and he adjusted beautifully

 

[Twizzle]

why cant Smith get a shit ball like that

 

[Barkley]

Part timer vs Maxwell. This could be dangerous

 

[Barkley]

Dangerous for Australia that is. Maxwell could throw it away here.

 

[Basil Brush]

Part timer vs Maxwell. This could be dangerous

For who?
