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.

    TON-UP Watling Leaves New Zealand ON

    Sports FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2013 Hotspot dumped for return Ashes series — report SYDNEY: The controversial Hotspot technology will not be available to umpires to review decisions in the upcom- ing Ashes series between Australia and England, its inven- tor Warren Brennan told local media. Hotspot, which uses infrared cameras to determine whether the ball has struck the batsman, bat or pad, was the subject of much contro- versy in the Ashes in England series earlier this year, which the hosts won 3-0. With a second series in Australia getting underway in Brisbane on Nov. 21, Brennan told the Sydney Morning Herald that the technology had been dumped by host broadcaster Channel Nine for cost reasons. “It’s their decision and that’s what’s been communicat- ed to us. As far as I’m concerned, it is final,” Brennan, a for- mer employee of Channel Nine, told the paper. “We’re just moving on with things. Channel Nine have got a new deal with Cricket Australia which I know has cost them a lot more money. I gather there had to be some restructuring of costs.” Channel Nine said it was not in a position to comment on the matter at this stage. “The Nine Network are still finalising arrangements with our various stakeholders for the coming season,” a spokeswoman said via e-mail. “Comprehensive details of our upcoming Ashes cover- age will be available shortly.” Although by no means at the centre of every controversial umpiring decision during the first series in July and August, there were several occa- sions when Hotspot failed to pick up edges.
