Maxwell unaware of place in World Cup つつく/ペックing order

MELBOURNE, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Glenn Maxwell 問題/発行するd a timely 思い出の品 of his 価値(がある) with a 決定的な half-century in Australia's first Twenty20 against India but believes he has more work to do to 安全な・保証する a ticket to the 50-over World Cup.

On a difficult pitch in Visakhapatnam, Maxwell (機の)カム to the crease with Australia 攻撃を受けやすい at five for two in their chase of India's 126 and his 43-ball 56 錨,総合司会者d an 84-run third wicket stand that 安定したd Australia.

But 存在 Maxwell, Australia's infuriating genius, there was a いっそう少なく laudable sub-陰謀(を企てる) at play as he threw away his wicket by heaving at a wide legbreak from Yuzvendra Chahal that went to the long-off fielder.

The 解雇/(訴訟の)却下 誘発する/引き起こすd a 崩壊(する) as Australia lost four wickets for 24 runs and had to rely on the 冷静な/正味の 長,率いるs of tailenders Pat Cummins and Jhye Richardson to 粉砕する 14 runs in the final over and squeeze the three-wicket 勝利,勝つ.

Instead of soaking up a 重要な 役割 in what should have been an 平易な victory, Maxwell was left sweating to the final ball.

"We probably should have lost and if it wasn't for Pat Cummins and Jhye Richardson pulling something out of the hat," the relieved 30-year-old said.

The glass-half 十分な 旅団 will 焦点(を合わせる) on Maxwell's studious innings that pulled Australia out of the 解雇する/砲火/射撃, but the half-empty types will carp that he should have gone on with it and remains too risky a player to rely on at the World Cup in England and むちの跡s.

Maxwell, himself, remains unaware of his standing in Aaron Finch's one-day squad, for all his past heroics in Australia's 2015 World Cup 勝利 on home 国/地域, when he was the team's third-highest run scorer behind Steve Smith and David Warner.

"I have no idea if I'm going to be in that World Cup squad or what number I'm going to bat, so I suppose it just comes 負かす/撃墜する to 適切な時期 - if I can keep making most of 適切な時期s like tonight," he said.

"It would have been nice to finish it off, but I chose th at Chahal (over) as my time to go tonight and I still 支援する that as the 権利 決定/判定勝ち(する).

"If I can turn those sorts of innings into not-out, 75-ish, and be 一貫した that way, I think I can probably go a long way in pencilling my 指名する for the World Cup and hopefully continue that 職業 for the 残り/休憩(する) of this year."
