Australia-New Zealand ODI series: 5 talking points - Aussies whitewash Kiwis at home

#3 Mitchell Marsh's redemption series?

Marsh could make the all-rounder position his own with similar performances

Mitchell Marsh made an impact right through the series, once again putting to rest suspicions about his effectiveness as Australia's lower order hitter and medium pacer.

In the first ODI, he lent a stable supporting role as first change bowler, sending down a vital maiden in the middle overs that frustrated the Kiwis. At the Manuka Oval, Marsh used the willow to make a statement, smacking seven maximums in his way to 76 off 40 balls.

With Watson retired and Faulkner struggling to recapture the form he showed early in his career, Australia's hopes of a seam-bowling all-rounder rests in the hands of Mitchell Marsh and in this series he proved that they are in the right hands.
