Shaun Marsh aims at becoming more consistent
Brisbane: After working throughout the off-season with former Test great Justin Langer, Australian batsman Shaun Marsh is confident he will rectify his early-innings blues and become a more consistent international player.
After getting recalled to the Australian team, he is preparing to play with his brother Mitchel
l against India in the second Test of a four-match series, starting Wednesday and is desperate to make a big score.
“I think the key for me is being really sharp early doors,” Marsh was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
“Over the last 12 or 18 months, that’s been an area that I’ve really needed to improve in. Over the winter with that break from my injury, it’s an area I worked really hard on with Justin Langer (coach) and my batting coaches back home. Hopefully if I keep doing that, I’ll be all right.”
Marsh has failed to reach in eight of his 15 Test innings, including six ducks, but has shown a lot of promise in his two centuries and a half-century.
He has played nine Tests so far, managing 493 runs at an average of 32.86 with a best of 148.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
