Marsh was delighted with the kind of efficiency his teammates had been in a position to produce towards Sri Lanka, getting that essential win to maintain their World Cup semi-final hopes alive.

“It was a really good day for us. We came into the game with a little bit of pressure after the slow start, but our experienced guys stood up today. We’re away. I wouldn’t say soul-searching but there was plenty of hurt [after the loss to South Africa]. Hopefully, that’s a stepping stone for us in the right direction. Just making up for his [dad’s] strike rate. I felt like I was batting well tonight and I probably got ahead of myself (on the run-out).

“The boys had been calm and the way in which we completed it off was nice. I truly went for one over, however I used to be shut down. We have a heap of choices – three quicks, Zampa, Maxwell, Stoin and myself. He [Cummins] at all times has a relaxed demeanor. The manner he bowled and his bowling adjustments had been improbable. Inglis is a fighter and loves a contest. He performs spin effectively and backs his expertise. First of all, he has energy and hopefully it is the beginning of a protracted profession for him,” Marsh said after the game.
