Glenn Maxwell makes shocking remark, says Australia have been outstanding against India in Test series

Glenn Maxwell, in dialog with Sydney Morning Herald, mentioned that the Australian workforce, barring one session in Delhi, have been outstanding against India. 

“I think they’ve showed a lot of fight. Bar that one session I thought they were outstanding. It’s bloody difficult over there – it’s not an easy place to play, it’s so foreign for us. But I feel like, apart from a couple of little moments, we’ve been in the fight, we’ve been matching India at different times and they’ve shown a lot of fight,” mentioned Maxwell.

Well, the comment is as unusual because it comes. The phrase outstanding is definitely not the one Maxwell would have wished to make use of right here as a result of Australia have been every little thing, however outstanding on this tour to date. And if getting a 1-2 run lead for a while throughout a Test is what the workforce calls good work, they definitely have to re-evaluate a number of issues. 

“It’s just sticking it out for a little bit longer and I’m sure that’ll be the message, to keep trying to stay up with India and take a hold of those key moments in the game. At the start of day three [in Delhi] I thought we were well ahead in the game, and to be ahead of India at any stage of a Test match over there is a sign we’re doing the right things, it’s just doing it for a little bit longer,” he mentioned.

Maxwell has been named in the ODI squad for the three video games in India starting March 17. He has not performed worldwide cricket since breaking his leg at a party in a freak accident final November.

“I’ve been in constant touch with the selectors for a while now, and it probably hasn’t happened as fast as I’d like. I probably would’ve liked to be playing a little bit earlier, but the fact I knew the timeline for the one day side and the realistic goal, I was able to manipulate my rehab program to fit that timeline I was racing against,” he mentioned.

“After the World Cup final yr I used to be fairly cooked, and it’s by no means good to have a break of this magnitude, but it surely’s additionally not the worst timing to have just a little little bit of time away from the sport and I did spend most of it in rehab, physio and gymnasium periods, but it surely was a pleasant little refresher. Hopefully this can lengthen just a little little bit of time on the again finish of my profession,” he added.

The final two Tests are set to be performed in Indore and Ahemedabad, beginning March 1 and 9 respectively. As far because the 3-match ODI series is anxious, the schedule is listed under.
