What are you talking about? You're the one who brought up his bowling and compared him to Stonis. Stoinis will always play ahead of Maxwell as an all rounder because of his bowling, which is superior. Maxwell is in the side mainly to bat with his bowling as a 6th option if needed. Maxwell is a better bat, and brilliant when on but is so good damn unreliable. So unreliable in fact that their ODI batting averages are Stoinis 35, Maxwell 32.44. Stoinis's bowling is better too. Any more to say?
Well for example;
Can't keep playing blokes who aren't making runs. Wade, on the A Tour, was making good runs and striking at over 180, albeit not against the same opposition. He's been flying for 12 months and is just as likely to win you a match as Maxwell right now. Would be perfect match for the McCullums and Butlers right now.
Compared to Maxwell that would be Stoinis, yet you want us to drop the better batsmen for someone who is also a less durable / reliable bowler and at best an average fielder.
You are not being self consistent Laj!
If Stoinis breaks down after an over or two, Maxwell is exactly the type of player we need in the side!
