I think people overestimate the 'fascination' with SMarsh. He's been a spare parts replacement player for most of those eight years, just comes in to plug a gap. It's a fair representation of his generally frustrating talent.Is that the same Handscomb who was dropped from the test side averaging 45+?
2018/19 3 matches, 443 @ 88.6 (Handscomb 361 @ 45.1)
2017/18 4 matches, 304 @ 38 (Handscomb 271 @ 38.7)
2016/17 1 match, 183 @ 91.5 (Handscomb 410 @ 68.3)
2015/16, 6 matches, 516 @ 46.9 (Handscomb 784 @ 43.5)
I'm not Handscomb's #1 fan but the fascination with Marsh (who will be 36 next year) has become weird. He's not some guy that is getting a run now because the cupboard is bare, he's been getting a run for 8 years.

An extremely inconsistent batsman that has for the most part just been a fill in for most of his Test career and averages 35 with 6 centuries, it is what is.
We've got ****in Aaron Finch opening the batting for the country and we've got people obsessed, um sorry 'fascinated' by this bloke for some reason.
And finally back in the ODI team where he belongs.
If we take him to the World Cup as a top 3 batsman he'll do well.
We'll probably take him, bat him at 6, drop him when he doesn't strike at over a run a ball then recall him for the tests.
Love watching S Marsh bat at full flight.
Don't understand the hatred for him.
He is no S Waugh or Ponting but has played some ripping innings during a period when Australian batting depth has been weak.
Think he lacked a bit of professionalism when he was younger and got unlucky with injuries later in his career.
He has had a solid career, hope he can maintain ODI form and go out with ODI world cup.
Never said I didn't like him, I just don't want him anywhere near the test team. He's far too inconsistent to be considered a test regular, or even a test cricketer.We get it mate, you don't like Shaun Marsh. Time to move on with your life.

Has he ever been a Test regular? He's spent his whole career as a spare parts player.Never said I didn't like him, I just don't want him anywhere near the test team. He's far too inconsistent to be considered a test regular, or even a test cricketer.

Yeah, filling in for two players that couldn't play. You might have heard of them? If Smith and Warner were available, he wouldn't have played, but his Shield form made him the clear choice.How about this summer where he failed over and over again but was an automatic pick.....
That was after averaging about 2 in the UAE!

When the spots were up for grabs, no one else stood up. Don't blame Marsh for outperforming the rest ahead of the series. If he hadn't made big runs, I don't think he would have been picked for India, but he did and he was. Christ, people complain about selection criteria, then again when someone does exactly what he's supposed to do.So now Shield form is a criteria...tell that to others who are in Shield cricket that haven't been picked off this season's performances. His UAE tour should have been his last. I'm almost glad e were flogged so we made the call but it shouldn't have taken India to expose Marsh yet again to make the call. Could have easily picked Patterson for one.
