Australia didn’t show top class in opening Ashes Test: Labushen

London. Australia batsman Marnus Labuschagne said that his fast bowlers did not perform at the top level against England in the opening match of the Ashes series. He said that Australia will have to improve a lot in this department in the upcoming matches. Australia beat England by two wickets in the first Test to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Many players of the team performed impressively but Labushen is expecting improvement from the fast bowlers. “I don’t think we played our B-game,” he told SEN Rodeo. I think some of the players did exceptionally well out of which Usman (Khwaja) did really well.

Nathan Lyon bowled brilliantly. “He said,” You have seen all our fast bowlers bowling for the last four or five years. It certainly wasn’t his best bowling, yet we needed only 280 to chase to win. We can see improvement in this matter in the second match. ”””’ Labushen also admitted that England bowlers had put pressure on his team. He said, “The England batsmen put us under a bit of pressure but at the end of the day it is the result that matters. This Australian team was successful in winning the match even after not playing with full vigor.

The Test was not a good one for the top-ranked batsman in the world either. He scored zero and 13 runs in both the innings of the match. He said, “To be honest, I was very disappointed to get out early in both those innings. I haven’t been out like this for a long time. I played two bad shots at the beginning of my innings. “He said,” It was a good lesson for me. I have to make sure that I make the right changes in my game.
