Marnus Labuschagne hits out against South Africa.But to make the World Cup squad, he needs to change his name to Steve Smith, learn to keep wicket, bowl medium-fast, or hit sixes more often. These are the aces held by the players all set to leap past him ahead of the team’s first game of the tournament in India next month.
“Good first hit out today in the nets, finally my wrist is starting to feel good, it’s been annoying for a while,” Smith posted to Instagram. “Hit them good today, so hopefully some positive signs for what’s coming up.”The freedom Smith demonstrated in his social media post is of the kind Glenn Maxwell will hope to emulate when he, too, returns from time at home.
In many ways, Labuschagne has demonstrated that he is listening to the critiques of the national selectors and team coaches. In Bloemfontein on a pair of slow pitches, he showed he has the gears and intelligence to contribute to victories.
