IND vs AUS: Marnus Lebuscheg's turtle move reminded us of 1984, then this player did something unique

India vs Australia series has its own thrill. The first day of the Perth Test was great. Currently, no team can be called ahead or behind. Meanwhile, while wickets were falling one after the other, Marnus Labuschagne’s batting was becoming the talk of the town in itself. He was neither getting out nor scoring runs. This kind of batting is often seen in Tests, but what Lebusch did was not expected. His batting reminded us of the year 1984, when England batsman Richard Ellis crossed the boundary.

Marnus Labusche didn’t open the account till 22 balls

First of all let’s talk about Marnus Labuschagne who came to bat at number three today after Usman Khawaja’s dismissal. He was expected to work on strengthening his team after recovering from the initial shock. But he was not ready to make a run. He was scoreless in his first 22 balls. He took the first run off the 23rd ball. Interestingly, he played 52 balls and during this time he managed to score only 2 runs. He didn’t have a single four to his name, let alone a six. If we talk about the strike rate, it was 3.85. This strike rate will make you laugh. But even before this, a batsman had performed badly against India.

Richard Ellison did not score a single run after playing 52 balls against India.

It is 1984. At that time, a test match was being played between India and England in Mumbai. In the second innings of the match, England batsman Richard Ellison faced 52 balls and did not score any runs. This is even more surprising than that. It is possible that the people who are reading this news now were not even born during that match, but Marnus Labuschagne’s batting today reminded them too of that match. Now if we talk about the history of Indian Test cricket, Marnus Labuschagne has become the second batsman to score the fewest runs against India even after playing 50 balls. Richard Ellison is still number one and may always remain so.

Marnus put the team in trouble

Marnus Labuschagne is counted among the greatest batsmen of the world. He has also scored a lot of runs for Australia, but today he appeared in a different zone. Only he knows whether he hasn’t been playing properly or not at all, but with only two runs scored despite playing so many balls with him, his team certainly seems to be in trouble at this point. Now it remains to be seen how Marnus bats in the second innings of the Australian team match.
