Three years ago, after four years away from the Test arena, he made a blistering counter-attacking 118 off as many balls on day one of the third Ashes Test.
So it is no surprise that he has quickly made himself at home playing for Leeds Sunrisers, the English version of the Hyderabad franchise he once represented in the Indian Premier League.
Marsh followed a debut 41 last week with 69 from 34 balls on Sunday in his first home appearance.
He backed that up on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) with a 20-ball half-century, going on to make 63 off 26 balls as the Sunrisers thrashed Manchester Super Giants by eight wickets with 12 balls to spare.
No one is pretending the 100-delivery white-ball bash-and-smash is akin to Test cricket, even with a firey attack of 145km/h England pacers Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Sonny Baker.
But Marsh and the orange-clad home fans loved it nonetheless.
"Headingley is one of the best grounds in the world in my eyes, once you're in it's a good place to score," the West Australian said.
Of his own form, and taking on the quicks, he added: "Its been a good start. We've played on some very good wickets. I just try and play good cricket shots."
Marsh's five sixes means he now has a competition-leading 14 and having downed the previously 100 per cent Super Giants his team look contenders.
In a run-fest, the Super Giants, whose Lucknow-based franchise Marsh now plays for in the IPL, and have LSG's Justin Langer as coach, looked to have done enough with 3-181 in their 100 balls.
Jos Buttler made 63 not out off 33 balls and Heinrich Klaasen 53 off 27, adding 105 in 47 balls. Amid the onslaught, Nathan Ellis picked up a creditable 2-32 off 20 balls.
But Sunrisers made short work of the target. Ryan Rickelton (11) went early but Zak Crawley (56no off 34) backed up Marsh and Harry Brook (42no off 17) picked up where the Aussie had left off.
Local hero Brook finished it with a six, the 15th of the innings, as the Sunrisers closed on 2-186 off 88 balls.
"It was a tough chase. Partnerships are really key in a run chase like that and the partnership with Zak was great, he batted beautifully," said Marsh.
Crawley was just as full of praise for Marsh.
"I was trying to get him on strike. I couldn't believe how hard he hit it. I've never seen power like it.
"I said to the ump, I''m not sure I want to back up much here', and he said he was taking a step back.
"I felt they had an above-par score, but when you have Mitch Marsh and Harry Brook in your team ..."
