Ashes 2017/18, 2nd Test: 5 things we learnt from the second day's play

#3 Marsh grabs his opportunity

Marsh thwarted the England bowling attack to score a stellar hundred

Shaun Marsh is a strange batsman. When he is flowing, the runs just keep coming and at other times, he struggles to get a single run. At Adelaide, though, the former was on display as he got stuck into the England bowlers. He milked them for runs whilst looking composed and resolute.

Brought up on the bouncy WACA pitch, Marsh is an adept player of the hook and pull shot and England's ploy of bowling short backfired. In the company of Pat Cummins, Marsh flourished and left England hapless with some pristine stroke-making.
