With paceman Peter Siddle hampered by an ankle injury, Marsh stepped up to take 4-61 to help close out victory in the second test against West Indies on Tuesday on a Melbourne Cricket Ground pitch offer- ing little for bowlers. High-fives from team mates were no doubt plentiful in the dressing room, with Marsh having played a big part in preventing them all from having to come back on a fifth day to take care of the West Indies tail. His fast bowling colleagues and selectors will also have been impressed with the 24-year-old’s pace. The speed gun clocked some of his deliveries at over 140 kph. Australia coach Darren Lehmann remarked that Marsh could shape as a de facto third seamer for the third and final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground if selectors picked two spinners. “It’s quite flattering NELSON: Tillakaratne Dilshan (R) of Sri Lanka plays a shot in front of New Zealand wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi during the to hear that, but the biggest thing for me is just play- 3rd One Day International cricket match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at Saxton Oval in Nelson yesterday. — AFP ing my role,” Marsh told reporters in Melbourne. “Over the last 18 months I’ve worked really hard with (bowling coach) Craig McDermott to try and get Fiery net spell sees S Lanka a few extra K’s (kph) on my bowling and certainly over the last few months I’ve felt like I’m just getting turn tables on New Zealand a bit faster and faster in every game that I play.
