Mitchell Marsh completes family hat-trick of Ashes centuries
Under great pressure, undervalued and ultimately underestimated, recalled all-rounder Mitchell Marsh scored his maiden .
Test century at the WACA on Saturday to accomplish an unusual family pair of Ashes tons. Clubbing 29 fours in a unbeaten knock of 181, the 26-year-old combined along with his captain Steve Smith (229 not out) in a 301-run partnership to provide Australia a 146-run lead over England at stumps on day three of the 3rd test. The home-town hundred was another entry for the Marsh family's burgeoning scrapbook. His older brother Shaun savoured his first Ashes ton at the Adelaide Oval, an unbeaten 126 that made him Man-of-the-Match.
