Maxwell should be batting before Wade every day of the week. If Wade has promoted himself to 5 to try and crack the Aussie team again then he's a selfish asshole. I can understand Maxwell's frustration TBH.

Even more of a dick move by Lehman, he should have stayed right out of it in the . media and dealt with it behind closed doors. He has slammed one of his own players over something that he just did not need to.
Boofhead indeed -
Don't forget that Boof probably still has a chip on his shoulder about being the highest scoring first class batsman in Oz before getting his call up to the national side. He was ignored for a long time while racking up 100s.
I also recall him being out of the side for quite some time but can't remember if it was due to form or fitness (fatness)
He looks to be applying the treated he received back to others. -
Lehman would have made a ridiculous amount of money in the modern game - fantastic on Indian pitches & a big slogger who could bowl a bit. I bet he looks at Maxwell & thinks "you entitled fecker".
If Maxwell really wants to play tests for Aussie a good starting point would be a year in county cricket scoring a huge number of runs ahead of an Ashes series. But it looks more that he wants to be picked on doing dick in 1st class & scoring a lot of T20 runs on the global circut while pocketing $2m a year

Boofhead indeedReally?
Lehmann said Maxwell was never in the running for the recent Adelaide Test against South Africa because he simply wasn't making enough runs.
"No. Because he hasn't made 100 for the last two years. You need to make 100," Lehmann said.
"Are you going to pick a bloke that hasn't made 100 for two years?"That looks like a coach stating why he didn't pick a player for Test Duty. Direct talk, no hedging. Performance based.
Not involved in the feud, but has to hose it down at training because both Wade and The Big No are IMG the ODI squad right now.
Is there another quote I'm missing?

Given the plethora of whingey, score-settling books released, the openly whining to the press, and the results on the field, this does appear to be the summer of discontent in Aus cricket

Huh funny the different ways you can read things. IMO Maxwell is the one that comes across as a dick in this. Having a whinge in a press conference about your captain and team and blaming them for your non selection in the test side. It matches his personality. All about himself.
Lehman was right to throw water on it by saying he wasn't performing well enough to be picked.

Yes really. You dont say why you didnt pick a player right in the middle of a dispute like this. He went beyond a simple statement n criteria and got involved in a player dispute. Dumb.

Is it also Victoria punishing Maxwell for looking to move to NSW?
Could be - I've only just been reading about the Maxwell-Wade situation to date.
Maxwell was left out of the Victoria side earlier in the season. It seemed to be retaliation for looking at moving states
Being pushed down the batting order might just be a continuation of that crap

If he's asked a direct question about Maxwell's Test chances - particularly as we play Pakistan in a couple of weeks - what else is he supposed to say?
If he's giving "no comment" as an answer it also looks dumb, because we got spanked in two Tests this year. The perception is that selections show a lack of transparency lately.
Three debutants in Adelaide who had domestic form get picked, Maxwell doesn't.
Media ask why, and so Lehman is completely transparent. If Maxwell has a problem with that, he now has an avenue: score runs.
If the Victorian situation is shit, that is nothing to do with Lehmann.
Also doesn't put him in the middle of the player dispute. That's peripheral to the question.

Well your theory works if you completely ignore context

@NTA you owe me a monitor, i just punched a hole in mine.
Just look at that piston wristed gibbon. A fucking white polo (I am a cricketer, look at me) a fucking grey zip-up cotton jacket, fucking chinos, with his legs crossed. The whole picture just screams "i am a massive, massive tool"
