Marnus Labuschagne Says Australia Have Fallen Into India’s Trap A Few Times, But Need To Keep Grinding

Written by Vipin Darwade

Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne has said that his team will have to be “very well prepared” for the third Test against India while admitting that in the previous games, they have “fallen into their trap a few times.” India secured an eight-wicket win over Australia in the Boxing Day Test. With no Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ishant Sharma, and Mohammad Shami, and after the humiliation of getting bundled out for 36 at the Adelaide Oval, it was a brilliant turnaround by India to level the series.

The major concern for the hosts has been their inability to score big runs against the Indian bowling attack.

After the two Tests, the highest total that Australia has managed to put on board is 200.

“Ashwin is a great bowler and a great thinker. He always comes in really prepared and they have been really crafty with their field and what they have been trying to do,” Labuschagne said in a virtual press conference.

“Look, we have fallen into their trap a few times but at the end of the day, someone is going to get you out in a game of cricket.
