PTI North Sound (Antigua), June 20 Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh has expressed confidence in his players to 'stand up in big moments' following criticism for sloppy fielding against Scotland in their last group match of the T20 World Cup, which saw the former champions spilling half a dozen catches. Australia will take on Bangladesh in their Super Eight match here on Friday with the focus being on their fielding after a lacklustre show against Scotland with Marsh himself dropping three catches. Even though Australia won by five wickets, their reputation took a bit of a beating and Marsh put his hand up in admitting the errors.

“It was obviously not our best effort in the field. I think I dropped three of the catches, so I take the brunt of that,” he said during a media interaction. “But the thing we speak about, is that we've got a lot of trust in our group.



We had an off night in the field and this group loves to stand up in big moments and they all start now — so I've got a lot of trust in the group,” Marsh added. Marsh has struggled with a hamstring injury he suffered during the Indian Premier League in April, which forced him to head home for rehabilitation. But the skipper said if the need arises, he will be available for sharing bowling workload.

“I'll be available to bowl. With the line-up that we've got, I don't really necessarily see a need for me to bowl, but it's really important in this format to have options and we're blessed with plenty of those,�.
