Lehmann said that while it was disappointing that Maxwell had chosen a public forum for his comments on batting below Wade, he was confident the Australian camp could put the problem behind them.
"We're obviously disappointed but we'll work through those issues," Lehmann said. "We're confident they can work together."
Meanwhile Quiney, who has not played a Sheffield Shield match this summer, pulled no punches when asked about Maxwell's comments on Wade and the batting order.
"I think he needs to lip it and just make some runs," Quiney said on
EON Sports radio on Friday. "Victoria are flying at the moment, but he's not setting the world on fire himself. He's actually only batted at six twice so I don't know where this has come from. It's good that he's honest, unfortunately it's probably not the greatest attitude to have, I reckon."

Darren Berry also slammed Maxwell's decision to make such comments in public, telling
SEN radio: "That's 'me, me, me' stuff isn't it? It's a team sport and he's batting at six. Cameron White's batting behind him at seven. Cameron White didn't come out and criticise Matthew Wade [...] you just don't do it."
It has been a fraught year for Maxwell, who has not been part of Australia's ODI XI since June in the West Indies, despite being named the team's
ODI Cricketer of the Year in January. He also asked for a transfer to New South Wales during the off-season but was
blocked by Victoria, who then left him out of their XI for the first Shield match of the summer.
