The Australian coach said, “It is an ongoing discussion and there are ups and downs in players' careers, so at the moment he is in one of those phases and there is no doubt that he will be criticized externally. But internally we are really confident that, at his best, he is the player we need.” Regarding Mitchell Marsh's fitness, McDonald said, “I don't think his performance in the first Test was unsatisfactory. We have to keep an eye on his fitness.

Our strategy was right but it could not be implemented.” However, the Australian coach has indicated in his statement that there is little possibility of change in the playing eleven of the Australian team in the second test.
