Australia allrounder Mitchell Marsh has had a memorable 2023 when he repeatedly hit the headlines with his performances.
Marsh has once again in the news this time due to his cheeky antics. On the first day of the ongoing third Test against Pakistan in Sydney, the Aussie was seen asking for a high-five from the on-field umpire.

Marsh’s hilarious gesture, however, went in vain as the umpire did not reciprocate with another high-five.
The funny incident, which took place during the 30th over of Pakistan’s first innings, left Australia skipper Pat Cummins in splits.

Marsh had an impressive outing with the ball having picked up one wicket in his seven overs on the opening day of the Test. He claimed the wicket of Pakistan captain Shan Masood who was dismissed for 35.
His good-length delivery did the trick as Masood ended up getting a thick edgeto be caught by Steve Smith at second slip.
Marsh seemed to have dismissed Masood 10 balls earlier but it was overruled after the Aussie all-rounder was found to have overstepped.
Needless to say, Marsh looked utterly disappointed and had a wry smile on his face following the reprieve.

Marsh was in impressive form during the opening Test of the series against Pakistan at the Perth Stadium. He was adjudged player of the match for his starring twin half-centuries in the match.
He scored 90 in the first innings and followed that with an unbeaten 63 in the second innings with Aussies eventually winning by 360 runs.
Marsh was again instrumental with the bat having played a crucial knock of 96 in the second innings of the 2nd Test in Melbourne. The hosts continued their dominance and took a series clinching 2-0 lead.
The third Test between Australia and Pakistan is currently being played in Sydney. The visitors were bowled out for 313 in the first innings. The reigning World Test Championship winners ended the first day’s play at 6/0.
