Marsh looked shocking tonight. Poor average in first class. Adelaide should be his final test.. I hope he does well but I doubt it.
This is all the more reason to not judge him too much on his test performances at the moment. Otherwise, it would have been like judging Hussey on his test capabilities based on his run of low scores a month or so ago, or Hilfy, on how he went last summer, when he was out of form, or Siddle, when he wasn't getting wickets, etc.
As for his first class average, didn't someone say earlier in the thread that in his last two Sheffield Shield seasons he averaged over 50? Surely that is far more relevant to anything than his overall record. I personally don't care what he did 3+ years ago.
If we were only going by overall records, Cowan wouldn't be considered any good, either, as he only has a first class average of 40, from 100+ innings. Only one or so more than Marsh.
