Maxwell’s form leaves Bailey in selection dilemma – Cricket News Update
As he prepares to lead his side in the forthcoming World T20, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751.
Maxwell replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, the Aussies wanted someone to keep that momentum going and found than man in Maxwell.
His contributions were even more significant, owing to a wobble in the latter stages, given that only one of the remaining batters managed to reach double figures. That power-hitting ability had already helped the tourists take the ODI series, following the youngster’s ice-cool unbeaten knock of 56 at Sharjah.
However, that also leaves Bailey and Coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-Christian-c1308, both of whom have had little impact in the recently concluded series.
With other players also waiting in the wings, Bailey admits that picking the final XI will be a hard task.
"We feel http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Klinger-c76093 gives us a bit of X-factor, and when you do have a start like that he's someone who can come in and keep the momentum going in your direction, a gun in the field and some handy overs tonight and a wicket," Bailey said. "That sort of package is great, and Dave Hussey provides a similar role.
"So it's a tough one, and we're going to have four guys left out each game who can probably feel pretty hard done by. I did like our balance tonight, and it is going to come down to a bit of situation, a bit of conditions, opposition, all those things when we weigh up exactly what that XI's going to be."
The Aussies will play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in their scheduled warm-fixtures on September 15 and 17 respectively.
