Mitchell Marsh will be a late arrival to Adelaide and is likely to play as a specialist batter in the day-night Test, after pulling up with more soreness than expected. Marsh, who has been dealing with an ankle problem, will not join Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Travis Head, and Alex Carey in the Adelaide Oval nets on Monday. Marsh, one of Australia’s best batters over the past couple of years, has struggled with his pace during the Perth Test but has still managed to score 47 runs from 67 balls.

But he has also been Australia’s best performing batter over the past couple of years, churning out 803 runs at 44.61 in 11 Tests afterAdelaide-based seamer Brendan Doggett was the only bowler on show at the optional session, with captain Pat Cummins and other members of the bowling group arriving in South Australia later on Monday afternoon.
“So a pretty easy one as such to move on and get over it and start talking about what’s coming, it’s probably the closer losses that hit you by a bit of surprise that take you a few days. But with the way that Test match was playing out, we were pretty much outplayed for most of that Test. “That can be put to bed,” Head said. “I think that is the one thing with ‘body language’ and ‘divides’ and all the stuff that comes out when there is a loss, this team has been together three to four years and when we were winning it was not that much dissimilar.
