IF selectors were yet to make up their minds on Glenn Maxwell for the Test side, the Big Show did it for them with a brilliant backs-to-the-wall innings for Australia in the fourth one-dayer against England. 
Maxwell's World Cup blitz wasn't enough to get him into the Ashes squad, but it's expected his unique skill set will be hard to ignore for the two Tests in Bangladesh.
Renowned for his ability to come in and destroy an attack at a moment's notice, Maxwell last night showed off his rear-guard qualities after coming to the crease with Australia in -crisis batting first at 3-30 in just the ninth over.
Maxwell was dropped twice on six and 35 on his way to 85 off 64 balls, but selectors would have for the most part liked what they saw as they prepare to sit down on teleconference and pick Australia's new-look Test XI.
The 137-run stand shared between Maxwell and George Bailey (75 off 110) was as good as it gets in one-day cricket.
They blended patience with brutal strokeplay to rescue Australia from the lowest 10-over score of the series to be in a position of power.
However, losing Mitchell Marsh, Bailey and debutant Marcus Stoinis inside 10 balls left Australia in major trouble again at 7-215 after 42 overs and needing something special from keeper Matt Wade if they were to close out the ODI -series at Headingley.
Wade (50 not out) and John Hastings (34 not out) duly delivered as Australia reached a very respectable 7-299 from their 50 overs.
In his three Tests to date, Maxwell has done nothing to disprove the theory that he's a limited-overs specialist.But a first-class record of 40.42 would suggest the 26-year-old is more than capable of translating his talents to the longer form.
