Aus vs wtc final: The South African team has started erasing the stains on their jerseys. Once Africa was called Chockers due to being in the final, but this team has finally proved itself by defeating Australia in the World Test Championship final. After the defeat, many questions were on veterans like Australia’s batsmen Marnas Labushen and Usman Khwaja, but team head coach Andrew McDonald has become his shield.

Marnas Labushen and Usman Khwaja were running in poor form. Despite this, he got a chance in the final. Khwaja, including 6 runs in both innings, Labushen could be able to score 39 runs in both innings. Defending champion Australia suffered a defeat in the title battle by 5 wickets. Both veterans have given Australia a big victory on many occasions, but after this defeat, a question mark was on them. There will also be a fear of cutting the leaf from the team somewhere. But after the defeat, the coach has supported both.

What did Australian coach say

Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald quoted McDonald as saying, ‘He (Labushen and Khwaja) is a major part of the team’s future. At that age, any player with an average of 45 or 46 is important in Test cricket. We have old players who are close to the end than the beginning. We are coming to us some young players and you definitely want those who think I have played more than 60 Test matches.

He will return …

He further said, ‘If he can keep his game in good order for the next four or five years, then he can strengthen that batting order. But at the moment, he will be disappointed with the return. He has missed out on making big scores. He had a blast by playing two innings of 70 runs in MCG and you know, if they had two innings of centuries, the conversation would have changed. But we are confident that he can return to his best performance and that’s why we keep choosing them. This is the point where we stop choosing them? ‘
