Since his early days, Mitchell Marsh was expected to reach bigger heights in the game and was expected to be the next big thing. However, the all-rounder has failed to live up to the billing so far. But, it has nothing to do with his cricketing ability.
The potential is there for everyone to see but the injuries have derailed Mitchell Marsh’s career. The all-rounder is one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball and he also has got a golden arm to break partnerships whenever Australia need him.
Mitchell Marsh has played a total of 79 ODI matches so far. He has scored a total of 2231 runs at an average of 34.32 and a brilliant strike rate of 94.21. With the ball, he has bagged 54 wickets with an average of 35.42 and an economy rate of 5.43.
Since his comeback from the injury, Mitchell Marsh has been batting well but he has not been bowling. However, the all-rounder rolled his arm over in the warm-up matches ahead of the mega event and one could expect to see him bowling during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
Furthermore, Mitchell Marsh has also found his feet at the top of the Aussie batting order. The 31-year-old is powerful and can use his long reach to play big shots at will. He is the perfect candidate to fully maximize the fielding restrictions in the powerplay.
Alongside his batting, Australia will hope he can contribute with the ball as well. His form in both aspects of the game will be vital for Kangaroos to do well in the multinational event.
