“Not enough centuries”, says Finch on Australia’s performance in Test series against West Indies

Brisbane: After the two-match Test series between Australia and West Indies ended on Sunday, former Australian captain Aaron Finch said that the hosts’ batting lineup failed to score enough centuries.
Speaking to ESPN’s Around the Wicket show, Finch took the name of Marnus Labuschagne and said that bad times can come in anyone’s career.
He also praised the Caribbean bowlers and said that they had done a “fantastic job” against the Australian team in the Test series.
“If you have a bad series in two Test matches like Marnus [Labuschen] did, that’s fine, at some point everyone will have that, but there are not enough centuries. There are some cracks which Usman Khawaja and the bowlers have filled. Finished it. A great job for a long time.” ESPNcricinfo quoted Finch as saying.
Labuschagne’s performance in the Test series between Australia and West Indies was very poor and he scored only 19 runs after taking part in both the matches.
The 37-year-old said Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Marsh took the burden off Labuschagne in the Test series. He said that his numbers as a middle-order batsman were not good.
“Think it’s the bowlers who have got them out of jail a few times, but Usman Khawaja too… and Mitch Marsh are also pulling their weight in that regard. They’re not great numbers for the middle order, as I think. That he has a lot of talent. The century column is a matter of concern for me. People are starting, and that is reflected in the numbers, it is not that he averages six,” he said.
Missing the second Test match, the Gabba fortress has been breached again as the Caribbeans have achieved their first Test win on Australian soil after 27 years.
Although Steven Smith remained unbeaten on 91 off 146 balls in the second innings, his efforts went in vain as the Australian team failed to reach the target of 216 runs. The fourth day of the second Test began with Smith and Cameron Green opening for the Australian team, with the hosts’ score at 60/2. However, the batsmen could not form solid partnerships in front of the Caribbean bowling attack.
Joseph achieved his first success of the day when he dismissed Green for 42 runs in the 31st over. In the same over, he dismissed star Australian batsman Travis Head for a duck to take an early lead.
As the session progressed, Joseph performed brilliantly and dismissed the Australian top order by dismissing Mitchell Marsh (10 runs off 12 balls), Alex Carey (2 runs off 5 balls), Mitchell Starc (21 runs off 14 balls). done. And Pat Cummins (2 runs off 8 balls) in the 43rd over.
