Is Mitchell Marsh is fit to play Adelaide Test?

Premier Australia spinner Nathan Lyon is confident that all-rounder Mitchell Marsh will bowl in the second Test against India, but added that he would jump at the opportunity to bowl some additional overs if the all-rounder misses out.

 

Marsh's fitness has been a major concern for the hosts in the lead up to the pink ball Test, starting Friday. The 33-year-old had felt discomfort after bowling 19.3 overs in the opening Test, which Australia lost by 295 runs at Perth.

 

Australia have also drafted uncapped all-rounder Beau Webster to their squad as a cover but it seems Marsh will retain his spot in the playing XI.

 

"I honestly think we'll see Mitch Marsh bowl," Lyon told reporters on Wednesday.

 

"I'm not concerned about Bison's fitness if I'm being honest. He's been brilliant for us since he's come back in. He came back in that game in Leeds during the Ashes and has really dominated, so got full confidence in Bison. Happy to bowl his overs."

Rohit Sharma press conference LIVE UPDATES: Rahul on opening the innings for India

Rahul doesn't deny that self doubts could creep in time and again but he has tried to preach Jaiswal what he practices.

 

"I am not saying I don't have all these thoughts, I do. But having been there, I know what I need to do to get past those doubts and thoughts you have in your head. And so whatever I told Jaiswal was what I have myself practiced," he said.

 

Rahul felt that once he had played around 40 balls, Jaiswal seemed more and more confident about his game.

 

"Once he got past those first 30-40 balls, he started feeling more confident, he was seeing the ball really well and batted beautifully," he said.
