Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh silences doubters with century against EnglandGETTY IMAGES Mitchell Marsh celebrates his maiden test century at the Waca. Australia all-rounder Mitch Marsh has silenced the knockers with a maiden test century during the Ashes clash with England at the Waca Ground. But Marsh answered his critics on Saturday with his highest test score, surpassing the 87 he made during his second test in 2014 against Pakistan. Marsh, who went to tea unbeaten on 100, strode out to the crease during the morning session after his older brother Shaun Marsh had departed for 28. Shortly before tea, Smith and Marsh took Australia's score past England's first- innings total of 403.
