Bailey impressed with Maxwell’s all-round ability – Cricket News Update
Australian T20 skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, he's played a lot of cricket. He's an outstanding
fielder, an outstanding athlete.”
While the final squad for the World T20 is yet to be announced, Bailey has seen enough of Maxwell to suggest that he will be named in the 15-man group. After all, the Aussie captain was a part of a clash where the 23-year-old announced himself at the domestic
front, smashing a record 19 ball fifty to help Victoria to a thrilling one-wicket victory over Bailey-led http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tasmania-c854 during a Ryobi Cup match in February 2011.
A lot has changed since then for the Victorian, who then went onto earn a first-class debut before adding a triple-figure score against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Australia-c844. He has also played in the lucrative IPL and Big Bash leagues, while his latest stint in the English county
had been extremely productive, prompting the selectors to include him ahead of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SPD-Smith-c2555, who has underperformed for the national team in recent times.
His ability will be under the spotlight in the upcoming series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, where a good showing will certainly give the player added momentum ahead of the World T20. His aggressive batting style and the added skill to give the ball a tweak will come
in handy on slow, turning pitches of UAE and Sri Lanka. The skipper is adamant that Maxwell’s usefulness will only strengthen the side.
"When he strikes the ball he's one of the best strikers going around. He can win a game off his own bat. He's really destructive, which we love to see. He's flexible - he can bat close to the top or in the lower order. And he's a handy offspin bowler, and
that was an area where we felt we needed a bit more cover,” added Bailey.
