The Australian team is dominating the first Test match which is been played against West Indies in Perth Stadium, Perth. Australia has crossed the 400-run mark on day 2. Day 2 is been great so far for the Australian team as Steven Smith scored his century and his partner Marnus Labuschagne scored a double century.<\/p>\n
This was Marnus Labuschagne\u2019s second double-century in Test cricket. There\u2019s no one stopping Marnus Labuschagne in Test cricket. The middle-order batter\u2019s form in Tests is talked about a lot. Marnus\u2019 Test cricket stats are amazing. Not only him, but the former Australian captain Steven Smith also scored a century in this game.<\/p>\n
Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne played a massive inning for Australia in this first Test. However, this partnership between the two Australian giants was broken by Kraigg Braithwaite who sent Labuschagne back to the pavilion in the second session of day 2.<\/p>\n
The Australian side will look to declare the innings on day 2 as they are now very close to reach the 500-run mark. West Indies\u2019 bowlers are finding it very difficult to dismiss Australian top-order batters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
