Mohammed Siraj failed to hold his emotions during an incident on Day 1 of the ongoing Test match between India and Australia at Adelaide Oval. It took place while the right-arm pacer was bowling the 25th over of the Australian innings. Just before the penultimate ball of the over could be bowled, Marnus Labuschagne pulled out of his stance after a distraction in front of the sight screen. A fan was going across the sight screen with a beer snake in his hand. Distracted by it, Labuschagne got away from his stance right before Siraj, who was already on his run-up, could bowl the delivery.

Unaware of what happened behind him near the sight screen, Siraj fumed at Labuschagne for pulling away at the last moment. An angry Siraj even threw the ball towards the stumps while concluding his run-up.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 1 Highlights: Mitchell Starc shone with a sensational six-wicket spell as Australia dominated the opening day of the Adelaide Test vs India.

Starc returned figures of 6 for 48 as the hosts bundled out India for 180 runs after the visitors opted to bat first. Nitish Reddy was the top-scorer for India with a knock of 42. In reply, the Indian bowlers failed to be as effective as their counterparts and a confident Australia reached 86 for 1 at the end of play on Friday. The lone Australian wicket came in the form of Usman Khawaja that was claimed by Jasprit Bumrah. Nathan McSweeney (38 not out) and Marnus Labuschagne (20 not out) were the batters at the crease when the umpires called for stumps.

“Haven’t Seen That Same Virat Kohli Since…”: Marnus Labuschagne Recalls His First Memory Of India Stalwart

admin — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 17:02:01 +0000

Australia’s dependable batter, Marnus Labuschagne, recalled his first memory of Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli ahead of the much-anticipated Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). The outcome of the World Test Championship final, set to be held next year in London, may hinge on the five upcoming Tests between the two top teams of the current cycle. Labuschagne, known for his ability to score runs, especially against India, reminisced about the first time he saw Kohli don India’s Test colours in the 2018 series. Reflecting on his encounters with Kohli, Labuschagne noted that Kohli was “quite intense” in his on-field demeanour, expressing a level of intensity he hasn’t observed since that series.

“My first memory of Virat was probably, from a playing perspective, the 2018 series. He was captain at that time, I think, and he was quite intense. When I watched the series, it was a very intense series. I probably haven’t seen that same Virat since then, you know, the start of that series. For a long time, he’s just been a quality act, but my first memory would be that,” Labuschagne told Star Sports.

In the upcoming series, Labuschagne will be eager to add to his impressive tally against India in Test cricket.

In 10 matches, the 30-year-old has scored 775 runs, averaging 45.58, including three fifties and a solitary hundred.

With both teams on a challenging path to the WTC final, the first ball of the BGT series will be bowled in Perth on November 22.

Following a historic series whitewash by New Zealand on home soil, India must secure four Test wins and ensure only one ends in a draw or defeat.

Meanwhile, Australia must avoid a series loss to keep their hopes of defending the title alive.

KL Rahul’s Lucky Stumping Gets Better Of Marnus Labuschagne In India vs Australia First ODI. Watch

admin — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 02:55:47 +0000

KL Rahul effected a lucky stumping during India’s first ODI match against Australia at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali to get the better of Marnus Labuschagne. The right-handed batter attempted a reverse sweep during the game on Friday but failed to execute it properly. The ball hit wicketkeeper Rahul’s pad and then ricocheted onto the stumps, catching Labuschagne short of his crease. It was also the first wicket in ODI cricket for Ravichandran Ashwin since January 19, 2022.

Watch the wicket here:

Mohammed Shami displayed his artistry with impressive figures of 5 for 51, reminding all and sundry of his skills while helping India restrict Australia to 276 in the first ODI.

Shami, who doesn’t seem to feature in India’s first XI plans for the World Cup, literally made a statement with his second five-wicket haul in ODIs.

His performance also put tremendous pressure on the weakest link among pacers Shardul Thakur (0/78 in 10 overs), who has been selected in the 15, primarily due to his batting skills.

Shardul would consider himself unlucky that Shreyas Iyer dropped a dolly at mid-off when David Warner had hardly got off the blocks.

In conditions conducive for batting, India skipper Rahul opted to bowl and Shami was literally unplayable in his opening spell, and then came back to remove a set Steve Smith (41 off 60 balls) in a short second stint, to disturb the visiting team’s momentum.

Stockily built wicketkeeper Jos Inglis (45 off 45 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (29 off 21 balls) added 62 runs for the sixth wicket to take Australia past 250-run mark but it was certainly below par as Shami got Stoinis in the nick of time to put the brakes on their scoring.

Warner (52 off 53 balls), Smith and Labuschagne (39 off 49 balls) all got starts but the lack of conversion did hurt the Aussies on a day when the Indian bowling unit was supremely effective without being exceptional.

All eyes were trained on Ravichandran Ashwin (1/47 in 10 overs) and he did find his rhythm in the second spell after looking rusty during the first spell. He went for 36 in his first six overs but Rahul changed his end during the second spell and it read 4-0-11-1.
