http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 to a new level and is aiming to lead the team to their first Test win since Muttiah Muralitharan’s departure from the format.
Speaking to reporters, Marsh said that his prime focus for now will be to mark a Test win for Sri Lanka against Pakistan, as the two teams head out to lock horns in their October-November series, scheduled to be played in the UAE.
Marsh, who is a former Australian opening batsman, agreed to the fact that the Sri Lankans are on the same lines as the Aussies, since both the teams are currently in a transition stage. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 recently went through a thorough overhaul across all ranks
of its fraternity, while the Lankans have not been triumphant under the Test format, especially since the nation’s spin guru, Muralitharan, bid farewell to the sport.
However, Marsh’s vision for his team does not only restrict to a Test win, but the Aussie also revealed that he would want to extend his current 2-year contract as the team’s head Coach till the 2015 World Cup, so that he may aid the side to secure another
Championship title since 1996.
Last week, soon after officially taking over his role as Sri Lanka’s head Coach, Marsh said that, “If Sri Lanka Cricket wants me to extend my contract till the 2014 World Cup its open from my end for discussions.”
“At the moment it's a two-year contract and we haven't talked about the finish yet. Hopefully the World Cup is something that I love to be through having won two (as a player and as a coach), but my immediate focus is preparing the team for the next test
match which is against Pakistan next month,” he added.
