This Australian summer, Mitchell Marsh batting and his family watching from the stands has been a regular occurrence. His father Geoff and older brother Shaun were eagerly awaiting his fourth Test century on Thursday following Australia's comeback to the lead thanks to his match-saving alliance with Steve Smith. However, Mir Hamza's dismissal of Mitchell for 96 dashed the hopes of the Marsh family and many Australian supporters. Batting on 20, Abdullah Shafique dropped a standard catch at the first slip, giving Marsh a life. After that, he never looked back as he worked with the vice captain of Australia to annoy the guests.
