"Not Going To Give You...": Ricky Ponting's Blunt Advice To Out-Of-Form Marnus Labuschagne

Key top-order performer and former No.1 ranked Test batter Marnus Labuschagne has come under scrutiny following his poor show in the first Test against India. Labuschagne, who has been a critical player for Australia, has seen his Test average dip significantly since his twin half-centuries against Pakistan in January. In the recent Perth Test, he managed scores of just two and three in his two innings. Ricky Ponting, speaking on the latest episode of The ICC Review, highlighted Labuschagne's struggles and the need for him to rebound.

Australian Selectors Reject Call To Include Out-Of-Form Batters In Prime Minister's XI vs India

Australian selectors have decided against sending any out-of form national team batters to play for the Prime Minister's XI against India in Canberra, following the hammering in the Perth Test. Hosts Australia were handed a 295-run bashing by India in the series opener of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this week and following the disappointing performance, the pressure is intensifying on the top order ahead of the second Test against India in Adelaide on December 6. The likes of Marnus Labuschagne (2, 3) and Steve Smith (0, 17) struggled against India and many, including former captain Maichael Clarke, feel the duo, along with reserve batter Josh Inglis, could benefit from the two-day pink-ball warm-up game.

India pacer Mohammed Siraj had an heated exchange with Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne on Day 1 of the 1st Test in Perth on Friday.

Australia Star Wants Team To Pull Off A 'Cheteshwar Pujara' In Test Series vs India

Ahead of the first Test against India at Perth, Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne said that his side would be looking to play the "long game" while batting in order to tire out and pressurise bowlers, something which Indian veteran Cheteshwar Pujara had done in on past two tours. As both sides, placed first and second in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) table, look to secure their title clash chances, their fast bowling attacks on bouncy, fast surfaces would hold the key. Team India is fielding a relatively inexperienced line-up of leading pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, who will be supported by newer stars like Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
