“The seam movement’s probably been the same. But just the amount of bounce is significantly lower. So that makes for pretty tricky batting there. Because more balls are hitting the stumps from a shorter length.” Labuschagne did not give away something on whether or not Australia will declare on the in a single day rating, very first thing on the fifth morning.
“Glad you think that I know if we’re going to declare or not,” he chuckled.
