Cricket: Australian great Brett Lee has urged the selectors to select either Sam Konstas or Mitch Marsh to replace David Warner as the Test opener.
Time for Aussies to unleash Bison-ball? | 03:13Stifled by a fear of failure, Mitchell Marsh spent the first half of his Test career weighed down by relentless pressure to perform.
He struggled to shake off low scores, carrying that burden into his next innings. Supporters became frustrated as well, with the MCG crowd booing him during the 2018 Boxing Day Test, which he described as the lowest point of his career. “The truthful answer is I’m human, and anytime I walk out to bat, I’m s****ing myself like any other bloke,” Marsh told Fox Cricket.
“It doesn’t guarantee me success, but it certainly allows me to enjoy the game a bit more, no matter what situation I find myself in. I feel as if I’ve got tools now to hopefully get me through.”Source: Getty Images “I think one of the key things for me as a leader is just to continue to learn and grow and help the team become better. We’ve got two years until the next World Cup, and form permitting, hopefully I’m there and hopefully we see a lot of growth throughout our team.”
“But Mitchell has learned . He is a very good one-day player, but now he’s starting to become a very good red-ball cricketer as well.”Marsh became a father for the first time earlier this week, with wife Greta giving birth to a daughter they have yet to name. Marsh has only bowled four overs in professional cricket since May, but he will be required to lighten the workloads of Australia’s pace cartel across the gruelling five-Test campaign.
“Especially in their conditions at home, they’re nearly impossible to beat, not many people do it throughout their careers. However, he’s struggled against India’s world-class spinners, particularly the experienced duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. In Tests, Marsh has mustered 31 runs at 6.20 against Ashwin and Jadeja, albeit numbers that include the low-scoring 2017 tour of India.
