They were and are still considered one of the finest fat bowling duo to have ever played the game of cricket. The 90s was a decade that belonged to the two Ws from Pakistan. Wasim Akram's lethal swing and Waqar Younis' pace and movement terrorised batter all over the world. The duo was a handful on any surface and together they won many matches for Pakistan in the 1990s.
Australia's Marnus Labuschagne shared a video on Twitter where he is seen playing in his home backyard where he recreated a surface akin to spin-driendly pitches in the sub-continent. Labuschange will soon be on the flight to Pakistan, where Australia will be playing a Test series after more than two decades. The video shows a rubber mat with aluminum and metal sheets taped to it that is cut into pieces in order to replicate the cracks that appear on the subcontinent pitches as the game proceeds. "Originally I had bigger sheets on there," Labuschagne told reporters in Brisbane on Monday. Labuschagne also revealed his chat with Steve Smith and the latter's inputs that proved valuable for recreating such a pitch.
Marnus Labuschagne is hoping to take his dominant form on Australian pitches to Pakistan and is leaving no stone unturned as he prepares for the three-Test tour. Labuschagne has been practising batting on his home balcony on a rubber mat laden with pieces of taped aluminium sheeting to try to emulate the variable bounce and turn of Pakistan wickets as Australia readies for its first tour there since 1998. The Australian number three said he had tried something similar before heading to England for a county season in 2019 which culminated in a strong Ashes series later that year.
Virat Kohli is one of the best batters to have ever played the game. He holds multiple records in international cricket and is arguably the most talked about player in the world in recent times. Kohli is adored not only in India but across the world, and a testament to that was seen during the ongoing Pakistan Super League. Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar tweeted a picture of a fan holding a Virat Kohli poster during a PSL match. "I want to see your century in Pakistan," read a message on the poster.
Cricket Australia is open to splitting the head coach's role for its men's team following Justin Langer's exit, CA chairman Lachie Henderson said on Monday, conceding it was taxing for one person to coach across formats. Langer, who guided Australia to their maiden Twenty20 World Cup in November and a 4-0 Ashes triumph against England subsequently, rejected a short-term extension and resigned this month. Andrew McDonald has been appointed on an interim basis ahead of the team's tour of Pakistan next month and is considered a front-runner for a permanent role.
