Shaun Marsh may face omission for second Test against South Africa – Cricket News Update
Australian top order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, scheduled for November 17, 2011, at the Wanderers Stadium, in Johannesburg.
Marsh, who is currently part of Australia’s wicket-marred Playing XI on the proceeding series opening outing against the Proteas, is suffering a severe back stiffness and has been learnt to be under constant supervision of the team’s physio, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Kountouris-c43123,
who has revealed that the Aussie batsman’s participation on the upcoming Test game is still not confirmed.
“You usually have to wait the first couple of days once the original spasm and the acuteness of the injury settles down,” said Kountouris.
“Once that settles down I'll have a better idea of whether he's more likely to get better in the short term or the longer term. He’s had this 12 months ago and got better reasonably quickly but every occasion is different. We’ve got plenty of days until
the next game so we’ll just have to wait and see. We’ll probably have a better idea once we get to Johannesburg,” added the physio.
Marsh remained to be the only causative batsman during Australia’s first innings outing, against the South African hosts, after Skipper Michael Clarke’s imposing ton which steered the wicket-stricken side to bat 284 runs – including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362’s second highest
score on the line-up worth 44 runs.
As for Australia’s second innings run, in stunning bowling display by the Proteas bowling arsenal, the tourists suffered a near record breaking low score crumble when the side lost 8 swift wickets at a minor tally of 21 runs, with Marsh stepping out to bat
on a surprising lower order position, replacing the dismissed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945 on the Cape Town turf.
Unfortunately for the batsman, the player was forced into making an early departure following a duck out dismissal off Vernon Philander’s delivery.
The Kangaroos were finally put out of their misery after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822 made the final exit off the crease, leaving the roster to pile up 47 runs, posting a 236 runs chase for the South Africans.
