Shaun Marsh crushes the Victorian bowlers in an easily earned victoryWestern Australia (WA) dominated the game today against Victoria in the Big Bash Twenty20 tournament. The match was played at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Western-Australia-c865 Cricket Association Ground (WACA) in Perth.http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victoria-c859 needed some early breakthroughs after they had given a 146-run target to the home team and the start wasn’t that good for WA as the team lost two quick wickets in the first five overs.The first wicket to was fall for WA was Chris Gayle. The flamboyant West Indian batsman failed to make an impression in the match and was out after just facing three balls. His catch was held by his country-man Dwayne Bravo off the bowling of Dirk Nannes.Bravo was responsible for the second wicket as he got http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Voges-c925 out after he had made a run-a-ball 8. Voges was caught at deep square-leg by John Pattinson.Early wickets would have given hope to the Victorian players but the rampage from Shaun Marsh was too much for the visitors. Marsh was unstoppable and he played a magnificent innings of 93 runs off just 59 balls.His unbeaten innings included nine 4s and three massive 6s. The youngster was earlier named in Australia’s squad after star Australian batsman Michael Hussey had to undergo a surgery.His confident performance will be inspiring for the selectors and he may be selected for the World Cup as well, if he is able to live-up to the expectations of the selectors in the match against England.Marsh was well supported by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Luke-Pomersbach-c1856 as he was involved in a 99-run partnership with him. Pomersbach was dismissed after scoring 35.WA chased the target in 17.1 overs and the Victorian bowlers were below par in the match. Bravo was the most impressive bowler as he took one wicket and gave away just 11 runs in his two over spell. Surprisingly Bravo wasn’t utilized completely and he saw his team-mates being peppered by Marsh.An outstanding innings earned Marsh the player-of-the-match award and he will be looking forward to represent his national team against England for the remaining ODI series.The Australian team is already 1-up in the series after they crushed England in the first match played at Melbourne cricket Ground (MCG).
