his successor http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 for a 70-run 7th-wicket contribution, which got the team total up to 322.

Day 2 saw Marsh bringing his individual total up to 73, in addition to teaming up with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Beer-c1949 (4*)
and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jake-Haberfield-c1629 (15-0-91-2) had both made valiant attempts to keep Western Australia down to a low total
– however, their efforts eventually went in vain.
The Redbacks then stepped up to the crease for their first innings – opener Sam Raphael (12) was not able to contribute much (dismissed by Johnson in the 7th over), but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Klinger-c76093 (37) joined forces for a solid 119-run
stand for the second wicket.
