Is Maxwell rated at all in Australia? In England, all we know of him is that he was playing club cricket here last year and Hampshire picked him up as a bit of a biffer for their T20 campaign. Next think you know, he's claiming a �1m sign up for the IPL and Warne is proclaiming him as the saviour of Aussie cricket. To me, he looks like he may have found his level at club cricket...

Maxwell has a first class batting average of 42 and a FC bowling average of 33.

What are your FC averages?

Don't think Binsy was claiming that he could play first class! Still, if he's doing that well in FC in Aus, Sheffield Shield cricket mustn't be as strong as it used to be

The problem with Shield cricket at the moment Tim is that they put it on hold for the BBL rubbish... It's crazy shield cricket doesn't seem important to CA anymore.

I'm along way from first class! But then I'm not about to earn a baggy green and claim a �1m salary on the back of biffing a few in a T20 game. Oh, and a FC batting average of 42 and bowling average of 33.

Vic Nicholas · « **Reply #188 on:** February 27, 2013, 11:53:56 AM »

Trescothick got an England cap with a FC batting average of circa 35 and Michael Vaughan's FC batting average was even lower...around 29 when he was given a test cap.

42 for a batting allrounder is respectable by comparison.

You backing him to score 5000 test runs then Vic?

No, I am not.

However, there appears to be a lot of jealousy around here.

Much like the "Dave Warner will never make it as a test batsman" brigade.

Davey Warner is doing OK and I suspect that Maxwell will do OK when he gets his chance. His bowling may be ordinary, but his batting is not.

Manormanic · « **Reply #191 on:** February 27, 2013, 12:56:01 PM »

I've always backed Warner to do okay, just don't think he'll ever be anything more than okay!

I actually agree with Vic here, I'm a big David Warner fan. Think he's shown the right attitude to become a successful opener in Test cricket and fair play to him for being able to convert his natural game into the 5 day type. While he will never be a 'traditional' opener, Hayden, Sehwag and Trescothick showed that there is also room for an attacking player at the top of the order. I think he could become an Aussie great.

Vic Nicholas · « **Reply #193 on:** February 27, 2013, 05:43:36 PM »

Steady on Binsy!

I dunno about Warner becoming a great...and he is certainly not in the same league as those blokes you just mentioned.

If he is still averaging 45 plus in 5 years time, then yes, he will be considered to be an excellent test batsman.

On his day he is devastating, but Warner also has a propensity to throw it away once he reaches 50 all to often.

At the moment, he is someone who "goes OK".
