Marnus Labuschagne has started the Shield cricket season with a notable score of 160, strengthening his case for a return to the Australian test side. In contrast, Sydney's Sam Constas was dismissed for 14 in his second innings against Western Australia, with his performance described as lacking discipline. Cameron Green, representing Western Australia, appeared to have overcome recent back issues, making an impressive catch in the slips. The early Shield matches are providing opportunities for players to push for national selection and demonstrate their form.

Labuschagne shines in Shield cricket as Konstas struggles

Manos Labashain is fighting hard to reclaim his test spot. The Queenslander has started the Shield season with an impressive 160, but the news is not as good for Sydney sider Sam Constas, who went for 14 in the second dig against WA. He forcefully drives in the air and Agar takes it. The discipline just not there today for Constas, who makes the mistake and pays the price. Cameron Green looks to have shrugged off his back issues, taking a specky in the slips for WA.
