Australia’s new ‘run-machine’ Marnus Labuschagne has once again exhibited his sublime form. On the first day of the third Test against New Zealand at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Labuschagne scored a magnificent𒈔 hundred. The first ton of 2020 came from his bat.
During the 72nd over of Australia’s first innings, Colin de Grandhomme bowled a delivery that drifted to🌼wards the leg, and Labuschagne just tickled the ball, sending it to the boundary. As soon as he completed his ton, the entire SCG crowd exhilarated in joy. The right-h🌊ander took his helmet off, and Steve Smith embraced him with a hug.
I declare this the Summer of Marnus! ☀ |
