Australia skipper Pat Cummins heaped praise on Marnus Labuschagne's 63-run knock in the second Test match against Pakistan in Melbourne and said that it was worth a hundred.

Labuschange, though he remains in good touch as a Test batter, has been battling a lean patch in the ODI format since 2022. Last year in 14 innings, he scored 331 runs at an average of 25.46, with three fifties in 14 innings. This year, he has just managed 43 runs in two innings.
