\"Bittersweet\" day for Marsh at Sophia Gardens

18 Jun 2018 | Cricket
Glamorgan and Australia batsman Shaun Marsh said it was a \"bittersweet\" experience to score a century in the defeat against England in Cardiff on Saturday.

Marsh hit 131 off 116 balls in only his second game back in the Australian one-day squad, as England won by 38 runs.

"I guess it was bittersweet, it was nice to get a few runs but disappointed with the result, we couldn't quite finish it off," said Marsh.

The 34-year-old left-hander was recalled to the Australia squad for the five-match series against England after more than a year out. He made the most of his recall, striking ten fours and three big sixes in his knock.

"A disappointing result for us, we felt like we were in the game right until the end but unfortunately we weren't good enough," added Marsh.

"It was a decent total (by England), they played really well and we knew we had to work really hard but we lost wickets at key times again and couldn't really build any really big partnerships at the start.

"We'll have to be better in a few days time, we're falling a bit short at the moment so we'll regroup and hopefully put in an all-round performance at Trent Bridge."

Marsh will return to Wales for the start of Glamorgan’s Vitality Blast campaign with the first home match against Sussex Sharks on Sunday, 8th July. Tickets are just £10 for adults and FREE for children. Buy HERE.
