Very much in the Border/Waugh class of captains knocks and well supported by Maxwell at a crucial time, 150 partnership is huge right now we might have been bowled out by now with Marsh at 6. Also consider we have a few restively young babies in Renshaw & Handscomb both very good players but extra pressure on him to perform.
Smith should stay at 3 bring Khawaja to 4. Maxwell earned his place at 6 maybe he needed to mature in the longer form like Andrew Symonds needed to.
First Australian captain ever to score 2 centuries in a series in India and 3rd overall.
