Melbourne, April 18 (CRICKETNMORE): Flamboyant all-rounder Glenn Maxwell on Tuesday hoped for a repeat of his performance at the Ranchi Test against India, if he gets a game in the Ashes series against England later this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maxwell, who is currently leading the Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League (IPL), scored his maiden Test century at Ranchi before following it up with a top-score of 45 in Australia's second innings of the fourth Test in Dharamsala.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Maxwell, however seemed clueless on the composition of the Australia squad for the Ashes, starting with the first Test at the Gabba this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Victorian acknowledged that given Australia's tendency to opt for a seam-bowling allrounder in the top six for Tests on home soil, his spot is far from secure. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'd love to say that I'd be a good chance, but I have absolutely no idea," Maxwell was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I don't know which way they're thinking. We've seen in the past that they like to have a medium-pace all-rounder at No.6 and if they were to go that way in the first Test, I think that'd be fine."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"But if I was to get an opportunity to play a Test at home, I'd love to take it the same way I did in Ranchi and make the most of it. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
"But I'm not trying to get my hopes up too much. If it happens, it happens," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The dashing right-hander further said he would not take undue pressure on himself to get back to the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'll still train and work as hard as I can to play, but I'm probably not putting as much pressure on myself as I probably did in previous years," he said.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2017\/04\/glenn-maxwell-australia.jpg", "alt_img": "Glenn Maxwell wants to repeat Ranchi show in Ashes", "alt_title": "Glenn Maxwell wants to repeat Ranchi show in Ashes", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Glenn Maxwell wants to repeat Ranchi show in Ashes", "seo_desc": "Flamboyant all-rounder Glenn Maxwell on Tuesday hoped for a repeat of his performance at the Ranchi Test against India", "seo_keywords": "Glenn Maxwell, Ashes Series", "tag": "", "tagging": "", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "0", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "glenn-maxwell-wants-to-repeat-ranchi-show-in-ashes", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "1724", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "0", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2017-04-18 19:30:00", "updated": "2017-04-18 19:30:00", "img_from": "", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": null, "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2017-04-18 19:30:00", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2017-04-18 19:30:00", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/glenn-maxwell-wants-to-repeat-ranchi-show-in-ashes-25925" }
