Mitchell Marsh Admits ”Nerves” At Gully, Hails Team’s Bowling On Day 3

Published by Webster

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh on Monday conceded that fielding at gully makes him the “most nervous”, particularly because of Cameron Green’s excellent reputation in that position. Green is not playing in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy owing to a spine injury, but Marsh has stepped intox that role with some degree of comfort, underlined by his flying catch to dismiss India batter Shubman Gill on day three of the Third Test here. “Yeah, I think since I’ve come back into the Test team, fielding at gully is probably when I feel the most nervous because Green is likely to go down as one of the best ever. If you drop one there, you’re always compared to him,” Marsh said during the post-day press conference. Marsh’s brilliant catch off left-arm quick Mitchell Starc led to Gill’s dismissal for one as India ended Day 3 on a precarious 51 for four. “Any time I can do something like that — I probably didn’t even need to dive, to be fair — but I thought it had …

Chasing 534 in the second innings, Australia slumped to 238 all out to lose the game by 295 runs.
