Marsh in Perth
However, after being the only batter other than Head to make a score of any substance in Perth which consist of 47 runs from 67 balls, Marsh’s place in the side may not depend on his capacity to deliver the pink ball under lights from Friday. Marsh has struggled with an ankle problem for some time, missing part of the 2022-23 summer for surgery, and his pace dropped alarmingly during the Perth Test as he was required to back up for multiple spells. He bowled a total of 17 overs and took 3 wickets.
