Marsh made 52 and 121 at the top of the order in those games, but may bat at three should Travis Head be fit after fracturing his hand six weeks ago. 'Every game from here on in is really important,' said Marsh. 'Some teams have lost a couple, and every World Cup game is high pressure and high stakes.
