Twitter wants under-performing Shaun Marsh to be dropped from the Test team

Australia, especially their batsmen, have their struggled immensely in the ongoing Test series against India. The fourth Test in Sydney has literally left their fans fuming as the visitors have dominated them completely from the word go. After conceding 622 runs in the first innings, the onus was on the batsmen to show some grit but after a good start, the middle-order was blown away once again. The experienced Shaun Marsh failed to contribute for the umpteenth time and was snaffled by Ravindra Jadeja.

The first innings saw the left-hander mustering only eight runs and was undone by a superb delivery by Jadeja as Ajinkya Rahane took a simple catch at slip. After sitting pretty at 128/1, they were reduced to 144/3 when Marsh got out and this was not the first time that the hosts had given away a decent start. The same had happened in Perth when a century partnership was blown away by the lacklustre middle-order.

Marsh, more often than not, was in the thick of the things and as a senior was expected to step up in this series. However, he has failed miserably and has been rolled over by Jasprit Bumrah mostly with his exceptional variations .

Mediocre series for Marsh

While his brother Mitchell Marsh has been dropped after only a solitary appearance in the series, Shaun Marsh might also be in line to be axed after the ongoing Test match. Batting at four, he has mustered only 183 runs in the seven innings wit a solitary half-century to his name. These efforts are certainly not enough when it comes to beating the World number 1 Test team.

With India’s bowlers breathing fire, Shaun should’ve been the rock for Australia. But it panned out exactly in the opposite way and the selectors might remove him from the team now. Twitterati is also demanding the same as they are done with him and have lashed out at the batsman for under-performing consistently.
