I don't get why people are feeling so sorry for Marshall. The guy was nowhere on the radar until this year when he scored big runs in our FC competitions. From being out of the radar, he got right in to the Test team. That's a very big leap. In many countries, a lot of big time run scorers end up missing out. Even in our team, Jahurul has found it tough getting chances even after being 1 of the most consistent batsmen in our domestic competitions for many years. Making the national team is hard work and keeping your spot is even harder. I expect Marshall to be very thankful for this oppurtunity and must be working very hard so that he eventually gets picked. If he keeps on performing well in domestics, A team and in the nets, he'll continue to get chances.
