Rising batter Cameron Green<\/a> has shown he's in exceptional touch on the road to the Ashes<\/a> and veteran Shaun Marsh<\/a> has put forward a case for a Test<\/a> recall.<\/p>\n

The pair were brilliant on the opening day of the Marsh Sheffield Shield<\/a> season, notching a century each as Western Australia<\/a> cruised to 4-324 at stumps at Adelaide's Karen Rolton Oval.<\/p>\n

Marsh walked to the crease at 1-23 and carved out 118 runs, including 16 boundaries, from 190 balls against South Australia<\/a>'s attack, driving beautifully through cover and tonking the spinners back over their heads.<\/p>\n

Green joined Marsh in the middle at 2-82 and peeled off 106 runs, including 15 boundaries, from 161 deliveries, playing a series of immaculate drives down the ground and producing some explosive pull shots.<\/p>\n

Green is just about a lock to bat at No.5 or No.6 in Australia's Test side<\/a> this summer, on the back of his series against India<\/a> last summer and recent form in the Sheffield Shield.<\/p>\n

The promising all-rounder finished last season's Sheffield Shield campaign as the top run-scorer, having made 922 runs at an average of 76.83.<\/p>\n

Marsh's century at Karen Rolton Oval also followed a phenomenal 2020-21 Sheffield Shield campaign, in which the 38-Test batter registered 734 runs at 53.93.<\/p>\n

While Marsh has scored six Test tons and looked very comfortable on the international stage, inconsistency has resulted in him being dropped on a host of occasions.<\/p>\n

The elegant right-hander hasn't played a Test since Australia met India at the SCG in January 2019 but, at the age of 38, a recall isn't out of the question.<\/p>\n

Former chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns<\/a> said in May 2020 that Marsh was "probably past representing Australia".<\/p>\n

However, he has since been in excellent touch and Australia have a new chairman of selectors, after George Bailey<\/a> took over from Hohns in August.<\/p>\n
