A fine 110 from recalled batsman Shaun Marsh has lifted Australia to a defendable 230 in Friday's second Commonwealth Bank Series one-day international at Bellerive Oval.
As the Australian top order failed for yet another time this season, the talent of Shaun Marsh seen in the past, came to the fore again. With a very unlikely partner in Bollinger, who had hit only four runs in his ODI career before heading to the crease, mixed genuine unorthodoxy with power off the back foot.
He hit three boundaries in a valuable run-a-ball 30 before falling in the penultimate over when he skied a catch to Ajmal Shazhad off Chris Tremlett.
The two of them took Australia from a struggling 142/8 to close to their final score of 230.
