Marsh has lowest average for No.6 in our history
HOWZAT with Michael Bourke
AUSSIE all-rounder Mitch Marsh would have been dropped and left to mellow on the sideline, had injury not led to his departure home after the Second Test loss against India.
Marsh now holds the lowest Test batting average (19.7) in history of a number six batsman that has played 20 or more Test Matches.
It seems that the Aussie selectors have gone from bad to worse with Marsh's replacement player Marcus Stoinis. Stoinis has averaged just 15.63 with the bat this season in Sheffield shield cricket. I get the feeling that the Aussie selectors will opt for Ashton Agar for the Third Test. Aussie coach Darren Lehmann has stated that Stoinis now has belief and it's up to him to keep kicking goals.
Maybe Stoinis has been picked for the wrong sport with that comment or the potential card used has come from a fortune teller.
