Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3689969, member: 8423"] Agreed but the pitches in Australia seem to be bowler friendly at present, even Nathan Lyon has hardly been used. He's more than capable anyway of holding down an end for long periods, so he can also cover Marsh. But even if you really do want to go with the pace bowling all rounder, Webster's record leaves Marsh's for dead as a batsman and that is the number 6's primary role. Marsh has been given about 40 more tests than most to prove his worth and he just hasn't plus he's getting on now. The selectors won't drop him because they won't drop anyone but if he doesn't make a score in the remaining innings this summer, the pressure on him will and should be immense. If he does make a score, he will go back to mediocrity again immediately and still not be under any pressure for his spot whatsoever. Remember, Brad Hodge, an infinitely better batsman, got dropped after making a double ton. [/QUOTE]
