With scores like 96, 31, 52 and 121 over the last one month in India, Mitchell Marsh has done rather well as an opener. After injured Travis Head joined the Australian team, there has been speculation if the partnership with David Warner, which raised a record 259 in the last match against Pakistan, would be split.
On the eve of the World Cup match against the Netherlands, Marsh said he would be happy to go back to No. 3. “I mentioned to David Warner, maybe he can bat three, but I got a firm no from him – that is being sarcastic,” Marsh said.
“I have obviously batted there a lot over the last couple of years, so I feel really comfortable at three. If and when Head comes back in, I think that’s the best position for me to play for this team.”
