Marsh's bowling takes a back seat as fellow allrounders step up

Australia's selectors have a headache on their hands after the all-round brilliance of Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis in the opening two ODIs against India.

Marsh has been a key figure in Australia's one-day team for the past few years, but he has struggled for form with the ball in recent times. In the first two ODIs against India, he has conceded 106 runs from 10 overs without taking a wicket.

Maxwell and Stoinis, on the other hand, have been in excellent form with the ball. Maxwell has taken 3-46 from 10 overs, while Stoinis has taken 2-43 from 10 overs. Both players have also been handy with the bat, with Maxwell scoring 59 in the first ODI and Stoinis scoring 78 in the second ODI.

The all-round performances of Maxwell and Stoinis have put pressure on Marsh's place in the team. Marsh is a better batsman than Maxwell and Stoinis, but his bowling is not as good as it used to be.

The selectors will have to decide whether to stick with Marsh and hope that he regains his bowling form, or whether to drop him and give Maxwell or Stoinis a chance to play as a genuine all-rounder.

It is a difficult decision, but the selectors will need to make it soon. The World Cup is less than a year away, and Australia will need their best players on the park if they want to win the tournament.

Conclusion

The all-round brilliance of Maxwell and Stoinis has given Australia's selectors a headache. Marsh is a better batsman than Maxwell and Stoinis, but his bowling is not as good as it used to be. The selectors will have to decide whether to stick with Marsh and hope that he regains his bowling form, or whether to drop him and give Maxwell or Stoinis a chance to play as a genuine all-rounder.
