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.

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 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?
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"

@mariner4life can only cross your legs like that if you have nothing between them!
