He Really Wants It, He Wants That Motivation, Says Labuschagne On Smith’s Desire To Open The Batting In Tests
Marnus Labuschagne: Australia’s top-order batter Marnus Labuschagne has said his team-mate Steven Smith is eager to be the opener for the side in Tests, citing that he really wants it and is motivated to take up the challenge.
At the end of day’s three play in the Sydney Test against Pakistan, Smith had said to ABC Grandstand that he was keen to be the next Test opener after David Warner’s retirement from the format.
“He averages 58 at five, 61 at four and 67 at three, so it seems like the higher he goes the more he averages. I’ve got no doubt if that’s the way we went, he would do very well. He really wants it, he wants that motivation… waiting to bat is not his forte, he wants to get out there straight away,” said Labuschagne, who made 62 not out, to SEN Radio after Australia beat Pakistan by eight wickets to win the series 3-0.
