“There’s a funny way this game evens things out.” Mitchell Marsh discusses Pakistan’s fielding performance.

In the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan at the storied Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh narrowly missed his century with four runs remaining. Notably, the hosts were 16/4 and required a unique solution to get out of a precarious scenario. Then, in order to put Australia back in the lead, Marsh assumed command and formed an important 153-run partnership with Steve Smith.

Mitchell Marsh was batting on 20 when Abdullah Shafique gave up a routine catch to him.

After a breathtaking catch by Agha Salman, the 32-year-old took advantage of the situation and played aggressive cricket, but he was unlucky not to get a well-deserved century. Speaking about his initial simple mistake and his subsequent outstanding catch that led to his ejection, Marsh disclosed that the game has a peculiar way of leveling things out.
