Marnus Labuschagne<\/a> continued his run-scoring spree in Adelaide on Thursday as the veteran batsman firms for a Test recall in the Ashes opener on November 21.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old belted his fourth century in five matches for Queensland this season as South Australia spent the majority of day two of their Sheffield Shield<\/a> clash chasing leather.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne appears likely to replace Sam Konstas in Australia’s XI in Perth after the Test incumbent again fluffed his lines for NSW on Wednesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 20-year-old was trapped lbw for a duck by Victoria’s Scott Boland in NSW’s first innings of 163 in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne, meanwhile, was cruising at 144 not out from 163 balls at tea on Thursday as Queensland (3-254) looked set to post an imposing first innings lead over South Australia (228).<\/p>\n

Labuschagne came in at No.3 and is captaining Queensland.<\/p>\n

Usman Khawaja, who opened the batting with Konstas in Australia’s last Test in July, made 46 at the top of Queensland’s order.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne gave an interview to The Athletic before his latest ton.<\/p>\n

“I’m very confident,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I’m confident I’m going to score runs consistently and find myself back in that team for the first Test.<\/p>\n

“But leading up to that point is a process and I’m not a selector, but I’m sure that is what they want to be seeing – consistent performances and me playing at my best…<\/p>\n

“People are just bowling there (outside off stump) more compared to when I first started.<\/p>\n

“People bowled a lot straighter and tried to attack me. They looked to get me leg before wicket and set leg-side fields.<\/p>\n

“Teams are bowling more in the channel now. I’ve got to be very patient and let the ball go for a long period of time, or I’ve got to find a way to put the opposition under pressure…<\/p>\n

“I want to be playing the way I want to play. I want to attack and put bowlers under pressure. For the past year and a half, I haven’t been able to do that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marnus Labuschagne continued his run-scoring spree in Adelaide on Thursday as the veteran batsman firms for a Test…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217122,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-217121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
