Do you think Maxwell has a chance at a successful test career?

Yeah a bit too much with the all rounders thing going there unless Maxwell and MMarsh both develop into guys who demand a top six batting spot with 45+ Test averages.
Guys like Pattinson and Cummins will also be demanding spots in the attack which leaves Forkers struggling for a gig if Marsh is already there (even though I'm a fan of the Forkers).

Is this using the same approach as you did to Clarke + Voges?

Because why the hell not?

Sorted. But is Andy McDonald still having a run or not?

Maxwell and Marsh could easily both be 45+ averaging, they are not that far off and still young
The jury is still out on Faulkner's ability to be a third seamer, mostly because he's hardly had a chance to play any red ball cricket for like 2-3 years, but he wouldn't be far off at worst. He's still a **** load better than Cummins at the moment who is in the Test squad so make of that what you will.
If Pattinson can stay on the park he will be dynamite

If Voges is still playing and Maxwell and Steve Smith are also in the top six you'd probably have the best spin bowler in the world

Do you really think that if both were fit and had had match practice, that over time Faulkner would be a better test bowler than Cummins?

Impossible to answer that question in any meaningful way. And attempting to do so would be pointless and stupid.
I'd like to think Cummins has more raw potential, but that's such an abstract concept realistically speaking.

It's not abstract at all. You've seen Cummins and Faulkner bowl at full tilt haven't you?

Faulkner is a more experienced and more reliable bowler, in all forms. But I'm sure most people would agree that Cummins has more raw "potential" and striking ability. Maybe given an injury-free period and more experience Cummins could become a genuinely international class bowler, but it looks a long way off right now.

I like this Captain Planet approach to building a team. Don't pick a specialist spinner, but only pick batsmen who can also bowl spin, then when they merge together to become a lethal option on a turning pitch you only have to pick three bowlers.
On topic, anyone know what Maxwell is going to do now since he's been ditched by Yorkshire for disciplinary reasons or whatever? Is he still joining Australia A for the rest of the India tour?
