Ashes 2017-18: Combined XI of the series
There were also some positives for England though Australia has dominated this side.
3. Shaun Marsh
This Ashes series proved to be the reviving one for Shaun Marsh as even he believed that this was his last chance at the redemption. He was under immense pressure walking out to bat at the Gabba but got runs there and eased himself in the middle. As the series progressed, he grew in confidence with a timely hundred in the day-night encounter in Adelaide. The century also saved Australia in the first innings and helped them posted a formidable total to dump England.
The left-hander had a splendid series and emerged as the second highest run-getter only behind the skipper Steve Smith. He amassed 445 runs in seven innings at an average of 74.16 with two centuries and a couple of half-centuries as well. The highest score of 156 came in Sydney where he looked all but comfortable in the middle not worrying about his place in the side in the near future.
