Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
Warne sees Maxwell clearly padded up to come in, then 'predicts' that Maxwell may come in next...

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Maxwell most productive shots vs spin:

Reverse sweep
On side slog
Slog sweep

Quality batting imo

Almost 40 percent of his runs against spin is from poo poo.

It's really quite terrible. I don't know if anyone can remember him trying to get lily Allen to wave at him a few years ago but this is somehow actually as gross.

For Maxwell, a reverse sweep is the same as a cover drive



edit: Of course just as I post that he reverses one for six

He is just sending the hitters out. Its fair enough. Warner and Smith did the hard work so the belters can just cut loose.
