Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

Re: Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

Probably a bit early, but Marshy is looking pretty good at the moment. If he can keep up his good form in the one-dayers, it won't be long before he is walking out with Ohil Jaques to open the batting in his first test match.
 
Re: Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

As made the move to an opening batman and it has paid off quickly for the young left hander. Would say he is a different batsman to his father, quicker scoring rate and hits it harder, but the signs are there for him to be a quality ODI player. Lets see if he gets a chance at the longer version of the game and then judge him against his dad
 
Re: Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

Well I'm surprised.

I thought 'dad' Marsh's figures would read a lot better than this......

Stat Tests ODIs
Matches 50 117
Runs scored 2854 4357
Batting average 33.18 39.97
100s/50s 4/15 9/22
Top score 138 126*

Geoff Marsh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

50 test matches would only take 4 years these days :rolleyes: and Shaun could surely keep a better average than 33.18. Well actually- he'd have to- otherwise I'm sure he'd get dropped! ;)
 
Re: Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

Geoff also had a ODI strike rate of 55, though in those days it was heaps harder to score. Test average of just 33 was quite suprisng, would have guessed something like 40...
 
Re: Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

shaun is a legend i dont remeber the last time i saw he fail to make runs
but to early to say if he is better than his father
great player though

Word is the youngest Marsh is the best, he may break into the W.A. side this year.
 
Re: Shaun Marsh to be better then his Dad?

Geoff Marsh was an ordinary batsman and as boring as hell to watch. His slow batting cost us any chance of winning the 92 World Cup.
