In the ongoing Test between Australia and West Indies at Hobart, the Aussie openers gave them a solid start, but there was a situation when they were 3 down for 121 and this is what brought Adam Voges and Shaun Marsh at the crease together. The duo not only stabilized the innings, but counterattacked the Windies bowling perfectly to make sure they don’t have to come out once again and bat. Voges and Marsh while channelizing their efforts together also got to their hundreds and converted them into bigger ones staying unbeaten at the end of day 1 on 174 and 139 respectively. Australia were already 438/3 and in a position of authority. The second day brought with it more runs and in little time the partnership was worth 350 runs. Voges soon got to his double hundred and looked good for more while Marsh also scored fluently.  But after batting for 449 runs together for the 4th wicket, the partnership was finally broken when Marsh got out for 182 as Voges stood at the other end unbeaten on 249. Australia let him get to his 250 and declared soon on the team score of 583 while he was still going strong on 269.
