Australian batsman Shaun Marsh is focused on playing well in the second innings rather than thinking about his place in the Test side.
The 35-year-old suffered another failure in the series, edging Ravindra Jadeja to first-slip on eight in the first innings of the fourth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Marsh’s average in the series is 26.14, with his highest being the second-innings 60 in the first Test in Adelaide.
“Look, I try not to think about it (the Ashes) too much,” Marsh told Fox Cricket. “Just focus on what I’ve got coming up and hopefully I can get out there when we bat again and put some runs on the board.”
“I try not to read or listen to it (the external noise) too much,” Marsh said. “Obviously there’s a lot of noise there, but I just try and go about my business as normal and just keep working.”
“I’ve been getting myself in but just been getting out,” Marsh said. “At Test cricket level you’ve got to be able to convert your starts into big scores and unfortunately I haven’t done it this series.”
