The former Australian opener, Justin Langer, has showered immense admiration on the talented top-order batsman, Shaun Marsh, hoping him to be a legend in the future, provided he sustains the momentum he possesses at the moment.
Langer reveals that Marsh had to wait for a long time to make inroads in Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 as the youngster was a bit confused; however, he managed to mould himself from a party boy to a professional one, concentrating on his game round the clock.
The ex-batsman argued that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362’s diligence is paying him off in these days as he is lashing outstanding innings everywhere in the world.
Talking to the media today, Langer said, “He’s waited a long time. A lot of that wait was his own fault. Kids have to decide whether they want to be professionals or party boys. I remember when I came in at 22, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 and [later]
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978. At some point, the penny drops: ‘I want to be a professional now.”"
According to Langer, Marsh has succeeded in achieving two of the three major features of batsmanship i.e., watching the ball before hitting and staying positive all the time. He wants the youngster to learn the third one that is ‘batting with a relaxed mind’.
He told, “Sometimes he was too open, sometimes he was too wide, which wasn’t allowing him to get out and drive the ball. He’s adjusted that. Now he can drive the ball so well.”
Marsh, who staged his Test debut in September this year, is currently demonstrating his guts in the Aussies’ bilateral series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. In the just-concluded tour match, the one-down batter scored 57 in the first and 73 not out in the second
innings, powering his side to win by 7 wickets. Now, he is padded up to play two upcoming Test fixtures of this tour, starting from November 9.
The 28-year-old, who is the son of the renowned umpire, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Robert-Marsh-c58893, has played 2 just two Tests so far. However, he has 36 ODIs and 7 T20Is to his name. Sos’ batting consistency has provoked the skipper, Michael Clarke, to reshuffle the entire batting line-up,
putting Marsh at No.3 by moving some seniors down the order.
