Shaun Edward Marsh (born 9 July 1983 in Narrogin, Western Australia), is an Australian cricketer who plays for the Western Warriors in Australian domestic cricket and has represented Australia at One Day International and Twenty20 International levels. The left-handed opening batsman is the son of former Test cricketer Geoff Marsh.
Junior career
After representing Western Australia at Under 17 and Under 19 level, Marsh represented Australia at both the 1999–2000 and 2001–02 ICC Under-19 World Cups. In the 1999–2000 tournament, held in Sri Lanka, he was the second highest run scorer for Australia behind Shane Watson, and other notable teammates included played alongside Michael Clarke, Nathan Hauritz and Mitchell Johnson.[1] At the 2001–02 tournament in New Zealand, which Australia won, he scored the fourth most runs for the tournament, with the captain of the Australian side, Cameron White being the leading run scorer.[2]
During this time, Marsh made his first-class cricket debut in 2000–01, against South Australia at the WACA Ground in March 2001. He played as a middle order batsman, and played this final three games of the season, before continuing to represent both the Australian Under 19 side and the Australian Cricket Academy throughout 2001 in the lead-up to the World Cup in New Zealand in January to February 2002.
International career
His excellent form during the 2007–08 season lead to Marsh being given a Cricket Australia Contract and being called up to the Australian Cricket tour of the West Indies.[15]
He made his debut for Australia in June 2008 in a Twenty20 game against the West Indies alongside fellow West Australian debutant, Luke Ronchi. Opening the batting with Ronchi, they compiled an opening partnership of 57 runs from the first 6 overs, with Marsh being dismissed soon after for 29 runs from 22 balls, including 2 sixes and a four.[16] He made a memorable One Day International debut a few days later, top scoring for the match with 81 runs from 97 balls and winning the man of the match award.[17] With the recent retirements of two of Australia's longest-serving ODI opening batsmen in Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, Marsh has been able to claim one of the opening batsmen positions for the 2008–09 season.[18] In the South African tour of Australia, Marsh performed well in the opening two ODI matches, top-scoring in both matches and winning the man of the match award in the second game. He has scored more than 50 in five of his 10 matches,[19] and scored his first century in the 5th ODI against India at Hyderabad on 5 November 2009.
Marsh was included in the Test cricket squad for Australia's tour of India in 2008, but was not selected for a match.[20]
On 21 January 2011, in an ODI match against England at Hobart, Marsh scored his second ODI century (110) in a record ninth wicket partnership with Doug Bollinger. Australia went on to win the match by 46 runs, and Marsh was named player of the match.[21][22]
On 26 July 2011, Marsh was selected for the Australian Test Squad for the tour to Sri Lanka.[23

In October 2002, Marsh was named to play for Western Australia against the touring English XI in a two day practice match (not classified as first-class) prior to the 2002–03 Ashes. Marsh top scored for the match with 92 runs against an English bowling attack consisting of Matthew Hoggard, Stephen Harmison, Andy Caddick and Ashley Giles.[3] He was not selected for the three-day match held soon after, but was selected to make his List A debut for the Warriors in an ING Cup match against South Australian Redbacks in November 2002.[4] Marsh would play in nine ING Cup games and three Pura Cup during the 2002–03 season and he made his maiden first-class hundred against a NSW side featuring Steve and Mark Waugh in 2003.[5]
Over the next few years he cemented his position in the Warriors middle order, averaging over 35 in first class cricket in 2004–05 and 2005–06.[6] He was named in the Australia-A side for a mid-year tournament in Cairns in July 2006. After a relatively poor 2006–07 season, he returned to top form in 2007–08 in all forms of the game. In first-class cricket he made his highest career score of 166 not out (as part of a 268 run 4th-wicket partnership with Luke Pomersbach and averaged over 60 runs per completed innings.[6] In the 2007–08 Ford Ranger Cup 50-over competition, Marsh made his debut century and was the Warriors' top run scorer.[7] In Twenty20 cricket he was the competition's leading run scorer, with the highest average and the highest individual score. [8]
Partway through the 2007–08 season, with the retirement of Justin Langer and the move of Chris Rogers to the Victorian Bushrangers, Marsh switched batting positions to become an opening batsman like his father Geoff.[9] At the end of the season, he was named the Lawrie Sawle Medallist for being the best player in the Western Australian state cricket team for the 2007–08 season.
