Maxwell said he is mentally prepared for the allrounder's role in Test XI.

"Definitely, I think I have had more than enough practice over the last week. I've been practicing for more than an hour everyday in humid conditions, facing upwards of 200 balls. I feel I have been batting really well. This is my fifth time in India so I feel I am very well prepared." Maxwell is not bothered about being branded as the x-factor despite moderate success in T20 and ODI formats. "I don't really read the media too much, so a lot of people asking about it, but I don't know what they are talking about. "It doesn't bother me too much. I see my job as... To do a job for Australia, and not to make massive hundreds and get massive hauls of wickets, but to take a wicket here or there and make an amazing stop in the field or get a good half-century when Australia needs it. "My job as an allrounder in this side is to fill the hole and do the job Australia needs me to do." Maxwell is confident of playing the Indian spinners on turning pitches. "(I am) very confident. I've faced a lot of good spinners over the last year. I faced (Saeed) Ajmal and (Shahid) Afridi and (Mohammad) Hafeez in Dubai and I felt I played them well. I've played against Ashwin in Australia and he spun the ball a lot there and I am looking forward to playing him again. "Also, playing the IPL last year, I was exposed to a number of good Indian spinners. I have had enough opportunities to play in Indian conditions so I think I have enough experience here for a guy who is only 24." More
