BGT 2024-25: 'Australia Are At Best When We Play The Long Game', Says Labuschagne

By IANS News November 19, 2024 • 17:42 PM View: 417

Marnus Labuschagne:

Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne is hoping to frustrate Indian bowlers in the middle by spending long hours in the middle to drain out the energy from them in the gruelling five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on Friday.

Labuschagne admitted that Australia is best at playing the 'long game' and emphasised the importance of spending more hours in the middle to empty the visiting pacers' juice by keeping them under pressure for long spells. The Australian batter is trying to replicate what Cheteshwar Pujara did during the 2020-21 tour, and that proved crucial in the end.
