Spin is expected to play a far bigger role in England so Maxwell can see himself playing a bigger role at the World Cup.
MELBOURNE: The bowling side of Glenn Maxwell’s status as an all-rounder is often forgotten amid the fireworks of his power hitting but the mercurial Australian hopes his offspin can tie a few batsmen in knots at the World Cup.
At England’s compact cricket grounds, that will mean avoiding getting “hit for six most of the time,” Maxwell said at training in Southampton.“As long as I’m doing that, if they hit some good shots off my bowling I’m not too fazed. He gave up the chance of a rich Indian Premier League deal to warm up for the World Cup with England county side Lancashire.
“You need that as a part-time bowler, to have that consistency of time at the crease and get a few of the cobwebs out, I suppose.”
