    2nd Test: 'Just Went Back To What I Know', Says Labuschagne On Making 64 In Adelaide

    Adelaide Oval: Before the ongoing day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval, Australia top-order batter Marnus Labuschagne was going through a horrid run of form. The right-handed batter, who once held the top position in men’s Test batters rankings, had amassed just 658 runs in his last 13 Tests at an average of 27.41, with only one century and five fifties to show.

    But on day two’s play, Labuschagne looked more assured and presented his vintage self by hitting a 126-ball 64 and supporting Travis Head’s 140 as Australia made 337 in their first innings and take a 152-run lead over India. Labuschagne said him making 64 was made possible by him going to what he knew about his game and yielded him good results in the past.

    "I obviously got a lot of messages from different people, a lot of support, and a lot of people with different advice. I sort of sat back and I just thought, how have I got to this position? How have I got to playing for Australia? What are the things that I've done? What are the foundations of that? It got back to going away from the game isn't going to make me a better player, never has and I'm not sure it will.
