“I saw some highlights on Instagram the other day about him hitting 100 off 60 balls.

Marsh looked underdone during the Test series, with a back niggle limiting his bowling capabilities.
Behrendorff praised Marsh for putting his hand up to play for the Scorchers.
“Huge credit to Mitch as well, because he could have easily said, ‘Look, I’m just keen to have a couple weeks off and not play’,” Behrendorff said.

Perth’s past two games have gone down to the wire, and they’ve lost both of them despite being in winning positions.
The Sydney Thunder needed 21 runs off the final seven balls in their game against Perth on Saturday, and they got the job done with a final-delivery boundary.
Then on Tuesday, the Renegades were in all sorts of trouble at 4-10 after five overs before chasing down Perth’s total of 8-147 with two balls to spare.
“I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily concerning, it’s more frustrating to be honest,” Behrendorff said.
“We talk about always taking the positive option, and that’s something that we continue to do, and it just hasn’t quite worked out the last couple of games.
“We’ve been so successful over a long period of time playing this way, so certainly no panic stations.
“Probably seven or eight times out of 10, we’re on the right side of it, and that’s why we always get such a good crowd here.”
The Scorchers face the Sixers in Sydney on Saturday and the Sydney Thunder two days later, before taking on the Adelaide Strikers at home.
