He could score a triple but still spout off at the selectors.
Hello McFly hello
I love the way you make it seem like heās the idiot.
You canāt say optics didnāt play a large part in his career trajectory.
Selectors who took us from the number one Test team in the world to number five, by playing favourites for lesser players, is what had a large part in his career trajectory.
Luckily Maxwell has only had nice things to say and everythingās working out swell for him.
From the outside looking in he just didnāt seem to shut up or get it. Unless he did get it and realised where he sat and acted pssed off as a result.
Six Tests, 11 innings, spread over four years, with two fifties and a double ton.
I donāt care if he threatened to burn the clubhouse down.
His last Test he scored 67 and 27.
And heās the idiot.
Ha. Those selectors sure showed him.
Edit: In their last six (12) innings the Marsh bros have scored 71, total.

Or, to put it another way, the Marsh bros have scored 71 runs from their last 12 innings.
Hodge made 503 from his eleven, before being dropped, never to return.
Australian cricket was going ok but definitely on the slide. Even if youāre shat off with the establishment, shut up and make the runs even if thereās only the tiniest chance itāll cement your spot.
Youāve got the rest of your life to sledge the establishment.

Nope.
Make the runs.
The establishment can shut up and pick the best team.
Again, Hodge is not the idiot here.
The selectors are the idiots.
Itās funny how ingrained āauthorities must know bestā is.

I know Iām being somewhat of a pill.
I apologise.
But I just discovered the most amazing thing.
How many fifties do you reckon Greg Matthews hit in his last seven Test Innings?
Six ?

Iām not necessarily disagreeing with you totally. Selectors are fkwits. Iām just saying if thatās the case donāt make it harder on yourself because itāll justify their decision to overlook you.
Stumpy fat looking little bugger anyway. Wouldnāt get the chicks in.
Greg Matthews was painfully consistent when he got the chance.
Itās just that everyone thought he was a ā ā ā ā ā ā .

Wasnāt just the selectors though. Several high profile Aussie guns refused to have Hodge in their side. Some of the players still arenāt too complimenting of him
Thatās what I heard also. And he just comes across as that spoiled kid in the regional underage teams that got it his way cause dad was the coach or at least in cahoots with him.
Awesome talent but. Like an ugly white less talented version of Tendulkar
No.
Itās the absolute opposite.
Thereās plenty of in-crowd, āmy dad was a selectorā, types who keep getting kissed on the ā ā ā ā .
Itās them and their ongoing, ahem, opportunities that sent blokes like Hodge mental, and will end up killing Maxwellās career and probably Renshaw too.
Hodge literally had to break records in Shield to get a look in. That gave him the chip on his shoulder.
Iām saying he comes across that way and it killed his career.
The impression.
Iām agreeing with you. Iām agreeing with everyone.
Cmon cmon.
Yeah, because the narrative is run by people from the in crowd
Renshaw will get picked, I am sure of it.
Of course if he doesnāt I predict all hell will break loose in the media, even they are starting to get rather edgy about the selection policies currently being displayed.
