Marsh and Paine have been very good.
Paine in particular surprised me with his glove work, and his batting gave our first innings a lot of impetus.
Selecting cricket sides is not about looking at stats, if it was you wouldn't have selectors.
I am not a M Marsh fan at all but they obviously have their reasons.
I would suggest his 130km + bowling is a big part of it.
Jeepers, all is required is for a batsman to be able to do what Andrew Symonds used to do with the ball & they'd be a shoe in.
Mitch Marsh.....that's just an injury insurance policy, nothing more, and replace one walking wicket (Handscombe) with another.
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.
