Australian all-rounder, Mitchell Marsh in a recent interview revealed a funny pub banter in Australia after winning the ODI World Cup 2023. He played a crucial role in Australian team’s road to the final in India. His contributions with both bat and ball were key in keeping the team competitive and ultimately reaching the final.
The Australian team has recently been experiencing remarkable success. Following their triumph in the World Test Championship final in early 2023, the Men in Yellow capped it off by defeating India in the ODI World Cup final in November 2023. After an early tournament loss to India, Australia made an impressive comeback, ultimately defeating India in the final under Pat Cummins’ captaincy.
Star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh disclosed a funny bar incident, that happened to him while in Perth, after the World Cup win. He shared,
“I landed back in Perth at about 9 am. And my wife was at work, so I just walked down to my local pub. I waited for it to open out the front, and then I walked in. I had a couple of pints just by myself.“
Marsh added,
“And then two random blokes came and sat next to me, and they were talking about the team of the tournament for the World Cup. And I’ve turned around and was like, ‘Thought I was stiff boys’. They have completely wigged out. They’re like, ‘What are you doing here?’ I said, ‘I just won a World Cup, what do you think I’m doing?’ And then it got weird, and I left. I walked 500 meters down towards home. Had another two by myself and then went to bed. So I don’t know, parade in the streets, or my weird three hours in the morning. I reckon I’m taking mine.“
Marsh has been a key player for Australia for several years, even stepping in as captain on occasion. The star all-rounder is ready to play another significant role in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia.
With India entering the series fresh from a clean sweep over New Zealand, Australia will look to capitalize and reclaim the trophy.
