Shaun Marsh has been in and out of the Australian national cricket team ever since he made his debut against Sri Lanka in 2011, where he scored a century. Although the stylish left-hander has been much more successful in ODIs, he also had his moments in the longest format of the game.

After a blistering 182-run against West Indies at Hobart back in 2015, it seemed obvious that he would find a place in the following match. But much to his dismay, Marsh was dropped by the selectors to pave the way for Usman Khawaja and Joe Burns.

Having played a total of 38 Test matches, Marsh has scored 2265 runs at an average of 34.32, scoring 6 centuries. The 182 against West Indies is still his highest score. The Aussie was a part of the Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground earlier this year.
