Iceland Cricket once again took a dig at the Pakistan cricket team ahead of their Boxing Day clash against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
On Day 3 of the 1st Test, Pakistan debutant Khurram Shahzad hit the right-handed batter on the finger of his right hand with a rearing delivery that jumped off a length. Labuschagne sought medical assistance right away but returned to bat after a few minutes.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins feels that experienced off-spinner Nathan Lyon is capable of extending his career and eventually catching up to legendary spinner Shane Warne to become the nation's leading wicket-taker in Test format.
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh expressed his delight after dismissing former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam during their massive 360-run victory on Sunday in the first Test at the Optus Stadium.
Australia's veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon was still in a state of disbelief after completing 500 Test wickets during their thumping 360-run victory over Pakistan on Sunday in the first Test of the three-match series.
Australia further tightened their grip on the first Test with Usman Khawaja holding onto one end and Mitchell Marsh going all guns blazing against Pakistan at the Optus Stadium on Day 4.
Marsh remarked after striking a defiant 90 in his first Test innings at Perth Stadium, that he does not want to move from a role at number six because he has only recently found himself as a Test cricketer.
At the time of Day 2 stumps, Pakistan's score read 132/2 in 53 overs -trailing hosts by 355 runs- with Imam-ul-Haq (38) and Khurram Shahzad (7) unbeaten at the crease.
