Clarke Notes Technical Change In Labuschagne’s Batting, Backs Him To Return To Form For NZ Tests
Labuschagne had a horrid time in Australia’s drawn 1-1 Test series against the West Indies, making just 19 runs in four innings. His average for the Australia Test summer stands at 28.25, after amassing 226 runs overall. Moreover, he has scored just one century and six half-centuries in his last 18 Test matches.
"The only thing I can see technically is that he just looks to be squaring up a little bit with his right shoulder. So mainly the balls that are that back-of-a-length, instead of staying really side on like he does and back-foot defends the ball to cover or to point, or even drops it to his feet, he's just squaring up a little bit. And that's why he's playing a little in front of himself, edging it to a second, third (slip), gully area."
