Marnus Labuschagne believes the slowness of the Edgbaston pitch performed an element in him being drawn into twice edging Stuart Broad through the first Ashes Check however whereas he’s some technical changes it is not one thing he’ll dwell on for lengthy.Labuschagne netted extensively at Lord’s over the weekend in preparation for the second Check which begins on Wednesday, on the venue the place his Check profession took off in 2019, with the Sunday session watched by Ricky Ponting, the pair sharing the occasional phrase.
