Green Holds Fort as Labuschagne Struggles | Adelaide News

Australia’s Day 2 in Mackay is heating up after a wild opening day that saw 18 wickets fall — and they’re still holding on with a 101-run lead, thanks to Cameron Green’s gritty 51 not out. Green’s been a rock this series, especially after his earlier century, while Marnus Labuschagne continues his slump, scoring just four in the first innings and now on a 23-match century drought. Coach Andrew McDonald insists Labuschagne needs big runs, but teammates like Smith and Cummins are confident he’s batting well in practice and pressuring bowlers. With Bangladesh eager to strike early — led by Shoriful Islam’s stellar performance — Australia must avoid another collapse and keep Green at the crease to protect their advantage.
