MR Marsh

The arrival

MR Marsh's first BBL season was 2011-12, with Perth Scorchers.

That first season brought 8 matches, 245 runs and 3 wickets at 7.09 an over.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2019-20, for Perth Scorchers: 382 runs at an average of 34.7, striking at 140.4 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 125.9, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 93 not out. There were three seasons of 300 runs or more in all (2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22).

Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2016-17: 210 runs at a strike rate of 146.8, 18 runs per hundred balls quicker than the BBL as a whole that year.

With the ball, the best season was 2021-22, for Perth Scorchers: 5 wickets at 8.06 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.41.

One club

MR Marsh has spent the whole BBL career with Perth Scorchers, from 2011-12 to 2025-26, although 2012-13, 2014-15, 2022-23 and 2023-24 passed without an appearance.

Bat, ball and method

Across the career, MR Marsh has struck at 131.5. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 125.3, so MR Marsh has scored about 6 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 54% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 140 fours and 89 sixes.

With the ball, 25 wickets in 657 deliveries, at 8.26 runs an over against a league rate of 7.37 for the same seasons: 0.88 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.

Where it stands

On the all-time BBL lists, among 526 players, MR Marsh stands 24th for runs and 15th for sixes. The story is still being written: 2025-26 was another season with Perth Scorchers.
