Glenn Maxwell is tired of people harking back to his explosive power hitting in limited overs cricket and says he wants to be recognised for his more measured form as he fights to secure Australia's number six batting spot for the Ashes series. The 29-year-old off-spinning all-rounder scored two half centuries in Victoria's recent Sheffield Shield match against South Australia and while he was annoyed at failing to convert them to centuries he was happy with his approach. "I think (selectors) made it pretty clear that they wanted the top six batters in the country and I want to put my hand up and be one of them," Maxwell told reporters in Melbourne.
