Labuschagne's form hits record low but Australia hint at future
Marnus Labuschagne's poor form hit a record low but Australia's new guard stood up to put the tourists in a strong position in the decisive Test against South Africa.
Marnus Labuschagne has endured a poor run of form in Test cricket, having failed to score a century in 48 consecutive innings, setting a new record for Australian top order batters. During the third Test in Cape Town, Labuschagne was dismissed for a duck off just five deliveries, marking his 48th century-less innings. Former Australian cricketer Jason Gillespie remarked that it is highly unlikely anyone will face such a lengthy wait to reach a Test century again.
Team management is considering alternative options, with young players Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, Cameron Green, and Josh Inglis stepping up to fill the void left by Labuschagne's absence.
