For him? That man’s IPL career has been nothing but underwhelming and the epitome of not providing returns on an investment consistently. A West Indian player would never get away with that

Yeah. That was 2016. When he and Ab de villears made a you know what load of runs. How they didn’t win that IPL final still baffles me

Boy serious eh. That’s why they’ve never won anything. There was one time Punjab had sarwan, bharath and Chanderpaul on teir roster and they barely played together which was strange. That was 2010. In 2009, both Tiger and sarwan had excellent WT20s, and bharath had just scored a hundred on debut at Brisbane against the second best attack in the world( not to mention his Champions League performance with Trinidad)

I mean Preity fine and all( she could eat a little more though) but she really need to fire whoever picks her teams. Rabada has been decent for them and so has Arshdeep as well but that side is mediocrity personified otherwise. And it’s year after year. I think Punjab made an IPL final once, more than a decade ago, they made 190 something, and KKR gunned it down with 3 balls to spare. kallis I believe made a half century for KKR. Preity was cussing afterwards lol

But on a reals. That upsets me. IPL franchises pump out serious money for Maxwell, he rewards them with one good season, and complete BS until he’s picked up by another franchise

If Maxwell has a good season, it probably means his team is having a bad season. As he usually bats at 5 or 6, for him to make a notable contribution would generally involve him coming to the wicket with a decent number of overs to spare, i.e., the top order failing. If the top order and Maxwell are both failing, then it's the top order that should carry most of the blame, because there are more of them.

Do you consider the number of runs a middle order batsman makes in T20 cricket to be an accurate proxy for his level of commitment?

Captaincy not very good either. He has no protection on the shorter side of the ground which is Butler’s offside, and the catchers on the leg side are too far apart
