Why Australia didn't declare on Day 4 at MCG: Marnus Labuschagne reveals reason

India Today  

Australia showcased remarkable resilience on Day 4 of the Boxing Day Test, recovering from a top-order collapse to strengthen their position against India. Marnus Labuschagne, who anchored the innings with a gritty 70, revealed the rationale behind Australia's decision to keep batting rather than declare despite a substantial lead. However, fans and experts debated the approach, suggesting Australia could have declared earlier to give themselves more time to bowl India out, especially since the highest successful chase at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is 332, achieved nearly a century ago. A record chase awaits India Interestingly, even the tail-enders found the batting conditions favourable, with Nathan Lyon enduring nearly 20 overs at the crease. With history against teams chasing targets exceeding 300 at this venue, Australia’s decision reflected a cautious yet calculated approach in securing victory.
