	Martyn tipped to retain spot - Cricket - Fox Sports
		DAMIEN Martyn is expected to be thrown a lifeline for next week's home Perth Test by a spiced-up WACA Ground pitch tipped to provide greater seam and bounce.
		Martyn faces a nervous 24 hours ahead of tomorrow's announcement of the third Test squad, particularly if all rounder Shane Watson passes a fitness test on his sore hamstring.
		Martyn isn't expected to strengthen his case for selection before the third Test because he was not named for the Lilac Hill match tomorrow or Western Australia's two-day game against England at the weekend.

		To defend was to display weakness - a policy that backfired in 1993-94 when Martyn's airy square-drive at a crucial moment in Sydney triggered a five-run defeat by South Africa and a seven-year hitch to his own promising career.
		Mostly, though, Martyn sticks to the textbook and composes pristine hundreds which, like the feats of the best wicketkeepers, pass almost unnoticed: an observation supported by the curious fact that, despite a Test average in the fifties, he reached the age of 30 without winning a Man-of-the-Match award.
