Webster Backs Labuschagne To Give His Best As An Opener For Australia In WTC Final
The Sydney Morning Herald: Seam-bowling all-rounder Beau Webster has backed Marnus Labuschagne to deliver his best if he's called upon to be the opener for Australia in the upcoming World Test Championship final against South Africa, starting on June 11 at Lords'.
Labuschagne has just one Test century to his name since the end of 2022 and in his ongoing stint with county side Glamorgan, has averaged just nine from three innings so far. Australia also have teenaged opener Sam Konstas in their ranks to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja.
“When he’s at his best, he’s unbelievable. His record speaks for itself. He’s a hundred-maker and a game winner. I’m sure going to the top (of the batting) wouldn’t phase him too much. Whoever gets the nod for that final is going to be raring to go,” Webster was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald.
