Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne admitted that his batsman led by Ravichandran Ashwin fell into the trap of Indian bowlers, although he defended the in-form Steve Smith. The third Test of the series will be played in Sydney from 7 January.
The Australian team was dismissed for 191, 195 and 200 runs in 3 out of 4 innings. Ashwin has taken 10 wickets so far, out of which Smith dismissed two and Labushen once.
Labushen said in a virtual press conference, ‘I have never encountered Ashwin before. No statistics can be found that apart from being a great bowler, he is also such a smart bowler.
Labuschagne said, ‘He has an average of more than 60 in Test cricket. He has been playing consistently well since the beginning of his career. He likes to score fast. ‘
