Waugh, part of Australia's four-man selection panel, said Marsh coming down the order could help him play with more freedom.

"If you bat him (Marsh) at seven it might just free him up a little bit. He won't have that pressure of justifying his spot as a batsman at No.6 so I think he'll free up a bit," Waugh was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Thursday.

"And I think Nevill is good enough to bat at six. His technique is excellent. I don't think a keeper has to bat seven. It's not in the rule book, is it?"
