While I think Maxwell should of been in the side before Marsh from the start I disagree with this selection (like most on here would I reckon). Got to play 6 batsman bringing in Khawaja. The 5th bowling option is irrelevant but would be great to see Maxi show some balls and go after the Indian bowlers, something that Marsh is just to scared and too shit to do.
Don't really like how Cummins is going to come straight in instead of considering playing Bird but we need his extra pace as he should be nearly as effective as Starc and it looks like he's in some good form. It's probably ideal for Cummins to play in India as teams as less reliant on their quicks as the spinners are obviously the main bowlers in those conditions. Although I would not be at all surprised to see him get injured lol.
Bird and Maxwell should come in my opinion. I would rather have Bird plugging away with unerring accuracy than Cummins spraying the ball and giving up a boundary every over. I don't expect Maxwell to bowl much, but he's clearly better in the field and will not be a sitting duck when he bats.
Bird will be useless there! he shouldnt have gone. you might aswell use the pace of Cummins. it doesnt matter where you play that sort of pace is not going to be easy. Uzzie should play. but at least with maxy you know he will attack which could work in his favour, go hard and it will take out the blokes around the bat.
