The Quote from Cricinfo

"I've probably got out at crucial periods in both games and it's been very disappointing that I haven't gone on," Marsh said in the Mercury. "I've left the team in a bit of a tricky position so hopefully in the next few games I can really bat through the innings and do my job properly." Marsh said he would aim to maintain his concentration during the middle overs - he's been dismissed in the 38th and 33rd over - and focus on playing straighter, instead of looking to force the ball on the leg side.

 

Although his playing role in cricket as Lower middle order batsman but he is playing as a top order from his international cricket. He plays domestic cricket along Western Australia but in the inaugural Indian Premier League he played on the side of Kings XI Punjab.
