LONDON - The return of premier batsman Steve Smith in Australia’s easy tour match victory over Derbyshire has made life difficult for selectors ahead of the fourth Ashes test against England, chairman of selectors Trevor Hohns has said.
Labuschagne, who became test cricket’s first concussion replacement when he went in for Smith in the second test, has scored 213 runs at 71 in his three innings. “He’s a prime contender. It’s very hard for me to say just where, but he’s an option everywhere as we have seen.” Right handers Smith and Labuschagne head the Australian averages, while top-order left handers Travis Head , Usman Khawaja and David Warner have all struggled.
Opening batting would also be an issue with Australia’s first wicket partnership averaging just 10.16, with a highest stand of 13.FILE PHOTO: Cricket - Ashes 2019 - Third Test - England v Australia - Headingley, Leeds, Britain - August 24, 2019 Australia's Marnus Labuschagne reacts after losing his wicket Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Boyers
