After getting recalled to the Australian team, he is preparing to play with his brother Mitchell against India in the second Test of a four-match series, starting Wednesday and is desperate to make a big score.

"I think the key for me is being really sharp early doors," Marsh was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.

"Over the last 12 or 18 months, that's been an area that I've really needed to improve in. Over the winter with that break from my injury, it's an area I worked really hard on with Justin Langer (coach) and my batting coaches back home. Hopefully if I keep doing that, I'll be all right."

Marsh has failed to reach double figures in eight of his 15 Test innings, including six ducks, but has shown a lot of promise in his two centuries and a half-century.

He has played nine Tests so far, managing 493 runs at an average of 32.86 with a best of 148.
