Australia vs West Indies: Spinner Marnus Labuschagne Nasty Bouncer at 130 mph to Surprise Tagenarine Chanderpaul

Australia VS West Indies: Australia cricket team, which is hosting the Test series Australia VS West Indies, has declared the first game after scoring 598/4 in the first innings.

Marnus Labuschagne has so far been the match’s standout performer, amassing a double hundred in the first innings of the Australia VS West Indies match. And a century in the second innings also. Marnus Labuschagne not only played a magnificent blitz with the bat.

He also created an unforgettable moment with the ball. The hosts gave Kraigg Brathwaite and the West Indies cricket team a massive target of 498 to reach during the fourth innings during the second session of Day 4.

Australia vs West Indies: Here is the Nasty Bouncer by Marnus Labuschagne

When a part-time spinner moves to a medium pace during a five-day test match, the already bizarre events become much more bizarre. To stun Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Marnus Labuschagne pulled a strange trick out of his hat and bowled at a medium pace rather than his customary leg spin.

When Tagenarine  Chanderpaul faced the innings’ 29th over, he appeared to be in fine shape. Marnus Labuschagne devised an unexpected tactic of bowling at a medium tempo. The top-ranked Test hitter often bowls leg spin.

However, the bowler changed his approach when facing the batter. Additionally, the hitter was getting ready to pull when he bowled a short delivery but was startled by the bounce. Tagenarine Chanderpaul had to duck the blow to keep his helmet from being struck.
