AUS vs IND: Australian PM admires Virat Kohli, long meeting again
Now before the second test, there is intense discussion that some changes can be made in the Australian team. Especially the poor form of Marnus Labuschagne has created a new challenge for the team. In the last 10 Test innings, Labuschagne has been able to cross the figure of 10 only once. Even in the Perth Test, he was out early after scoring 2 and 3 runs.
Johnson advocated ousting Labuschagne
Former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson expressed his opinion that Labuschagne should be kept out of the Adelaide Test and sent back to domestic cricket. He said, “Labuschen’s form has been going bad for a long time. He should be given a chance to play club and shield cricket for some time, where he can work on his batting.”
Ian Healy suggested the inclusion of Bo Webster
Meanwhile, former wicketkeeper Ian Healy has suggested the inclusion of all-rounder Bo Webster in the team. Webster had an impressive performance against India A, where he scored 145 runs and took seven wickets in two unofficial Tests.
Now it will be interesting to see what decision the Australian team management takes for the next test.
