Australian power-hitter Glenn Maxwell reflected on the 'homeworkgate' saga during Australia's 2013 series of India. Maxwell endured an unpleasant introduction to Test cricket, when four Aussie players were suspended for failing to submit a written feedback to then coach Mickey Arthur and later suffered a 0-4 whitewash in India.
