Maxwell ready to take up frontline spinner's role during clash against India

Sydney, Mar 22 (IBNS): Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell feels that he can play the role of a frontline spinner for his side during the semi-final clash of the World Cup against defending champions India this week.

 "I've taken a couple of wickets this tournament which has been nice, and I feel like I've been doing the job that Michael Clarke has been asking of me whenever I've come to the crease," Maxwell was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald.

"I had a chat to [Australian spin bowling coach] John Davison last night and he said my shape was looking really good. It's starting to become a bit more of a frontline spinner's action as well and not so much just a run-stopping option but it's actually becoming semi-threatening, compared to just going and putting the ball on a tee," he said.

Australia and India will face each other in the semi-finals clash of the World Cup on Mar 26.
