Australian opening batsman, Shane Watson is not surprised with the meteoric rise of left-hander Shaun Marsh and has praised the quality possessed by the new Kangaroo no.3.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 on debut, where the 27-year-old scored 141, stroking the ball to all around the park.
This asserted his footing in the Test team and since then he has been preferred to veteran, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, who admired the
left-hander for his temperament and hunger to succeed at the Test level.
With a good first series against the Lankan’s, he has now travelled with the team to face the Proteas and his teammate, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 isn’t surprised by the rise of the player.
"I haven't been surprised at all," Watson said of Marsh. "I've seen him since he was a young guy, really, but especially the last three or four years I've seen him play at certain stages and seen the quality of player that he is.”
Like Watto, the left-hander injured himself in the T20s, which ruled him out of the first two games of the 50-over format. He however, returned for the third and deciding ODI, scoring 30.
He proved his mettle in the practice match against the South African A side, where he notched up commendable half-centuries in either innings to help the side win the game by 7 wickets. Watson praised the left-hander for his knock and believes that he has
a big role to play for the Australian cricket.
"It's great that he's in a place where he feels really comfortable within our team. To see the way he batted [in Potchefstroom], continuing on his form, he's a very impressive player with both his defence and his attacking game. I'm sure he's definitely
going to play a big role in our success throughout this tour,” added the flamboyant all-rounder.   
The Aussies will lock horns with the Proteas in two Test matches, with the first being played at Cape Town followed by a clash at Johannesburg.
