Maddinson looked very good for the Sixers. He has tremendous talent, if he can harness it. |

Well, the (twofold) claim in the media was that his confidence was wrecked by Smithy's premature Test selection punt. |

What selection punt, K ?
As far as I know, Smith isn't a National selector. _________________ Donny.

Don't shoot the messenger, Donny!! The media claim was Smith pushed really hard for him to be selected. (Hence a twofold claim: The same media claimed being out of his depth at that point at Test level harmed Maddinson's game.)
I'd have to search to try to find which cricket journalist(s) or ex-player commentator(s) made this claim. (If it's the latter, I doubt a search now would be successful.)
I do see the following report from Peter Lalor at the time, which doesn't say anything about the specifics of Maddinson's selection but gives an impression of selection chaos and gambling:

Victoria hasn’t quite removed the chip from its shoulder, but is celebrating the fact that Handscomb has been rewarded for his double century against NSW at the SCG with a call-up.
People in the southern state complain bitterly that the NSW mob get a baggy green when they get their state cap, so the selection of the talented 25-year-old should do something to alleviate that jaundiced jealousy.
Chairman of selectors Rod Marsh resigned last week and his replacement Trevor Hohns is pleading for calm. “Patience will be required but we are obviously hopeful that these players can gel together and ultimately stop the downward losing momentum,” he said yesterday.
“We need everyone to get behind these blokes, to encourage and help them in what is going to be a very testing time for them.”
Hohns signalled that the selection panel had picked the new team in consultation with captain Steve Smith.
“The captain has been thoroughly canvassed and informed of our intentions re the selection of this team,” he said.

I have a low opinion of Hohns because of his public trashing of Cameron White.
