Australia getting thrashed by India in the first test in Perth, Australia is aiming for a comeback in the second test which is scheduled for 6 December in Adelaide. Apart from the Indian batters, the Indian bowlers also played a pivotal role in outplaying the Kangaroos by 295 runs. Former Australian ace bowler Mitchell Johnson holds the batters the most accountable for India’s triumph over them. He suggested that the former world number 1 batter, Marnus Labuschagne should be dropped for the second test match.
Writing in The Nightly, Australian legend Mitchell Johnson called for the Australian team management to drop Labuschange for the second Test.

“Labuschagne — after a lengthy poor run with the bat — should be replaced for the second Test in Adelaide. I honestly believe the best thing for Labuschagne at this stage would be to be left out. It would give him a chance to play some Sheffield Shield and club cricket away from the pressure of playing for your country and I feel he would benefit from that more than going out there trying to survive against Jasprit Bumrah and co. Some will say, hold up a minute, it’s just the first Test of a long summer. But this has been going on for a while. In his past 10 Test innings, he’s passed 10 just once. Cricketers get dropped at some point of their careers and it’s about how you bounce back from that.” he wrote.
