Hometown heroics from Marsh!
Marsh played a gritty 90-run knock in the 1st innings of PAK vs AUS 1st Test, helping the home side post a huge score. His sublime form continued in the 2nd innings as he remained not out on 63 when Australia declared the second innings.
“My first Test match at this stadium, first at Perth in six years, so it’s a nice feeling. When I went out, the lead was big and so the pressure was off, but this was a tricky wicket, so I had to gauge the conditions before playing my shots. Batting is my priority, we’ve got such an amazing bowling attack, so happy to contribute with the ball and it’s a great feeling to take Babar out”, Marsh said at the post-match presentation.

Riding high on a win in the 1st Test, Australia have named the same squad for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan. The hosts made just one change to their squad, releasing pacer Lance Morris who will take part in the BBL. AUS will now have a 13-member squad for the 2nd Test instead of 14.
