Maxwells was way worse because he charged the bowler.

 I should've posted this, too. Another way the ACC are paying for themselves to be able to commentate the World Cup: http://www.theaccnz.com/photos/the-men-of-cricketing-manginas/ (yes. It is was it sounds like - and its fantastic).

Just saw the recap of Maxwells innings. Has he ever made a odi hundred? Did he throw away his first good chance with that shot?

I've seen him get out at least 8 times in the 90s. (Maybe one was an 89). He literally tries to hit a 6 every time he gets near 100.

That last six Faulkner hit was crazy.
That one that he hit baseball style from above his eye level that went flat and straight was ridiculous. Looked like he got none of it but it went massive

Beffer posted:

What's Faulkner like in first class cricket? Could he be a test all rounder? He has such a fantastic mental game that it seems to me that he should be able to handle longer matches but I don't see his name mentioned for test selection. (Instead we Maxwell for one game.)

Well gently caress. Cricinfo stats:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/270484.html

First class batting average 32
First class bowling average 24

One very good test although no idea who the opposition were. 45 runs and 6 wickets.

He's 24 and from the home of Boony and Ponting. Why isn't he playing test cricket?
Not sure he's a good enough bat for the top six or seven - no tons in first class cricket yet - and he certainly can't replace any of our quicks. Also that one test was the Oval test in 2013 wasn't it?

Burn Down Canberra posted:

That could be any nation but if you mean south Africa then yeah. They play well in Australia.
I think their lack of bowling depth will be exposed by the good sides. With that said though their batting lineup is outrageous and they only really need one of AB, Amla or du Plessis to light up in the knock out games and they're well on the way
