Abbott lauds Marsh: He’s quite a level personality, certainly amongst the group

Mitchell Marsh’s incredible start to his Twenty20 captaincy career hasn’t surprised Australian fast bowler Sean Abbott. Marsh crunched an unbeaten 76 off 39 balls, which included six sixes, to steer Australia to an emphatic eight-wicket demolition of South Africa with 31 balls to spare at Durban on Friday night.

Sean Abbott said –

“I think the way he’s playing on the park is just the way he’s been playing for such a long time now. To Mitch’s credit he’s quite a level personality, certainly amongst the group.

Abbott added – “He hasn’t changed at all since stepping into the captaincy, albeit only two games and having only been on tour for a week. Not surprised at all that he’s doing really well and flourishing in his first two games as captain.

Abbott further added –

“It’s really good to see because he’s such a great person, such a good team man and really cares about people around him. The pitch tonight suited the bowlers.

“It might not have looked like that when we were batting but that just speaks volumes for the way those guys are batting at the moment.”
