SHORTLY after India's win in Perth, Sean Llyod, President of the Redlands Tigers Cricket Club, had come out and offered Marnus Labuschagne an option of sorts.

Local lad Labuschagne arrives at Marnus-land

The Australia's No 3 had been struggling with form and quite a few comments were made to drop him for the second Test. With almost nine days between two games, Llyod had offered Labuschagne an option of turning up for his local club if he wanted to.

While Labuschagne didn't play a club game that weekend, he did the second-best thing possible. Days after the Perth game, he was at Wellington Point in Brisbane, having a hit in the Tigers nets. It was nothing new for him, and neither was it the case for Llyod and others in the club. Labuschagne has been given his own set of keys and can walk in and use the nets whenever he wants to.
