Australian batsman Shaun Marsh (pictured)  is set to take his place in the Australian side that meets South Africa in the first Test in Perth.

Marsh’s Test career has been a frustrating one for the 33 year old who has never quite cemented his place as one of Australias first choice batsmen.

The Test which begins in Perth on Thursday will be Marsh’s second on his home grown and the prospect of playing alongside brother Mitch in front of his home crowd is one he’s looking forward to.
