IND vs AUS 3rd Test | ‘We have got to take six wickets first’: Mitchell Marsh on follow-on

Mitchell Marsh shines in fielding and bowling against India at the Gabba, eyeing victory in the third Test.

The ball seemed to be chasing Mitchell Marsh at the Gabba here on Monday (December 16, 2024), and he was more than happy. Asked about his favourite among the two catches he pouched, the Australian all-rounder said: “Probably the gully one (Shubman Gill). I like fielding there, but yes, even the one earlier (Yashasvi Jaiswal) was just as good.”

Asked about the probability of enforcing the follow-on against India in the third Test, Marsh said: “We have got to take six wickets first, we know that we have got to take 20 wickets to try and win this Test and our conversations will be about how do we do that? Hopefully the weather holds off, and then tomorrow it’s just about coming in, having a crack, and see where we get to.”

Marsh was happy with Virat Kohli’s dismissal: “He is a big wicket and he is one of the greatest players ever, so it’s just about being diligent and trying to execute our plans, and I guess it’s always nice to see the back of one of the game’s greats. We bowled really well. We have some great bowlers and they are always attacking, and looking to take wickets all the time.”
