Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Laubuschgane wants to play Pujara like long game

Deccan Chronicle  

Perth: Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne wants to play the "long game" to wear down India's pace attack, similar to how veteran Cheteshwar Pujara did in the past two Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. In the 2018-19 series, Pujara faced 1,258 balls across seven innings, scoring three centuries as he wore down an unchanged Australian bowling attack throughout the four-Test series, helping India secure a famous victory Down Under. "Because as you get into the third, fourth, fifth Test, if they're trying to play the same team, and those bowlers are rolling into 100, 150, 200 overs by the third Test, it's going to make a big difference in the series," he added. "I would love nothing more than to be that guy," Labuschagne said during the build-up to Friday's series opener in Perth when asked if he was primed to fill pace all-rounder Caemron Green's bowling boots.
