like tim paine and shaun marsh, mitch marsh is another good selection. just wait and see.
Look, who knows either way? I'm being facetious in general. But when you combine his output and the fact that cricket and sport in general is very much a boys club its not a completely obscure conclusion.
No seam bowling all-rounder is worth picking if it weakens the batting and Smith won't bowl him. And Smith won't bowl him unless someone goes down. It's such a dumb pattern this one.

- Marsh in Sayers out Bird stayes MOM against NSW today
Australia squad for third Test: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Cameron Bancroft, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird
He won’t be bowled.
He hasn't been bowling... His only just started back bowling at shield level.. it's a joke as the selectors have a man love crush for Mitch Marsh. Yes I understand we're playing at Perth and it's a placement pitch, but seriously what does Maxwell have to do to get selected.
Let's see when it comes to the Sydney test to see if they pick a spinning all rounder like Maxwell.

Surprised as he has only had two Shield matches back bowling since his shoulder surgery and was on limited overs in the first match. But the selectors love the Marsh brothers so in a way not surprised 
Bowl at 135km/h
But how many chances does the bloke get.... Maxwell didn't do much wrong to get dropped

Good to see him making runs in the shield, but the issues with his batting technique won't be fixed in a few months.
I like Wildermuth more than Marsh as a long form batsman, but he's got a way to go before he should be considered.
Apparently he hadn't bowled for 6 months before the QLD game, so he's only bowled 3 or 4 spells really. That's fine... if you're warming up for the big bash.Surprised as he has only had two Shield matches back bowling since his shoulder surgery and was on limited overs in the first match.

Marsh's season.
Maxwell's season.
Maxwell is batting as well as I've ever seen him bat. Can't believe he's not in the side. Smith never uses the 5th bowler anyway. I'm pretty sure 5-10 overs of Maxwell's spin would be just as threatening as 5-10 overs of Marsh on a lifeless track. Andrew McDonald would be filthy he wasn't born 10 years later. He'd be picked at 6 every match in the current climate.

before 1st test ,Selectors admitted they talk a lot to to Mr Langer.
goes like this (how's all your WA players going, ans ALL in career best form ) instant call up
what else would your coach say

Not in Perth. Maxwell would struggle to get you or me out. Marsh would be much more likely to get a wicket or two.

Unless they are dropping Handscomb, they are not bringing Maxwell back for a test in Perth!

All good and all but Marsh is in for his bowling and if they were to decide to stay with six batsmen (which would be the correct thing) they'd just give Handscomb another chance.

I'm on the Wildermuth wagon too. On one hand I think we can't risk a number 6 like him with Paine at 7, on the other hand we have an exceptionally strong 8 and 9 and chances are he'll do just as well as Handscomb with the bat anyway.

I wonder what Mitch Marsh would look like if he had have been dropped when he first should’ve (in 2015, about 10 tests in) and gone back to shield cricket to work on his deficiencies for a prolonged period of time before they brought him back into the side. He probably would’ve been a decent test all rounder by now. They seem to want to rush him back as soon as he has one good knock in shield cricket and hope that he has magically become a test level batsman. I hope he succeeds this time around but I can’t see it happening right now. Not sure why they can’t leave him at WA for the rest of the summer, let him make a ton of runs and build his confidence before coming back into the team.
He only just started bowling too. Is he even fit enough to bowl more than 5-10 overs in an innings?

Maybe he'll come back in and prove everyone wrong, but in my eyes. 2017/18 and 18/19 should have been knuckle down in the longer form and we'll reassess where his FC cricket is at for the 2019 Ashes. Play the ODI's cause he is good in that and format.
I'm sure he can make it as a test cricketer but I'm also sure constantly throwing him back into the headlights is not the way to do. He's still only 27 when we go Englang next. If he is in the right form and got his issues sorted he can still have a huge career.

The thing is the guy who should be the #1 in line batsmen is Glen Maxwell. Whether he is or not who knows, but I don't see how he can't be. And as dinky as his off spinners can be, he can still send down some overs.

Maxwell's bowling in Perth will be party pies at absolute best though.

I don't think we should be picking our #6 for his bowling at this stage, especially since Maxwell/Marsh will probably only throw down a few overs at best, knowing Steve Smith.
