Labuschagne Confident Of MCG Test Despite Finger Scare
New Delhi, Dec 18 (IANS) Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne contends it’s going to take a whole lot more than a sore finger for him to give up his spot in the Australian team as he declared he would be all good for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan at MCG.
Labuschagne had a challenging outing in Perth with scores of 16 and two but he remains confident about his fitness for the upcoming match despite requiring a scan on a finger that took a hit during his brief second-innings appearance on a challenging surface at Optus Stadium.
