The Marsh brothers combined for half-centuries but Western Australia had to rely on a late contribution from Ashley Noffke to take them to 7 for 309 on the first day against South Australia. While Shaun Marsh started with 82 and Mitchell Marsh, the 18-year-old captain of Australia's Under-19 team, chipped in with 55, the side was wobbling at 6 for 238 when the younger sibling was lbw to Cullen Bailey.
Noffke made sure the total was expanded with 59 not out while Aaron Heal (19) was also unbeaten. After Shaun Marsh set Western Australia's platform, Dan Christian changed the tempo for the Redbacks with two wickets in four deliveries. Shaun Marsh went to an edge to slip while the dangerous Luke Ronchi was bowled, leaving the Warriors at an uncomfortable 5 for 175.
Shaun Marsh and Wes Robinson put on 98 following the early loss of Luke Towers, who was bowled by Peter George on 2 in the third over. Robinson moved to an aggressive 54 before he was caught at short cover off Bailey. Shaun Marsh took over, hitting 15 fours in his useful display, and then left his brother in charge. The legspinner Bailey was impressive with 2 for 55 off 25 overs while Christian and Jake Haberfield also gained two wickets.
