IND vs AUS, 3rd Test: Mitchell Marsh happy with Kohli dismissal, hopes for good weather to maintain momentum

The ball seemed to be chasing Mitchell Marsh at the Gabba here on Monday, 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. I like fielding there, but yes, even the one earlier 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.
