A bigger deal out west.
Just wish he'd convert a few and really cement himself now.

Laba with a 32 and a 72 not out. Consistency. Seems like a guy we need to prevent collapses which unfortunately has happened too many times in recent years.
Pity SA didn't put on more runs for him to chase. He was flying yesterday.
He averaged 104 in that game - auto selection for 1st test.

If you are honest he is almost the 2nd best spin bowler we have in the country too.

Another good outing from Marnus today in the one day game with 134. Led the Qld fightback from 4/25 to a score of 295. Just seems to be going from strength to strength at the moment.
geez he doesn't miss out often does he recently.
His runs in the shield were massive, the rest of his team struggled with the bat, when they got in trouble chasing a relatively small target he whacks a couple of boundaries.
Not that anyone cares, but his surname is pronounced Labu-shuck-nee.
The WC Rugby commentators in the Japan vs Springboks game could at least get it right (Pieter Labuschagne).
Also - I'm a Boer.

I thought it was labu-scarg-nee
I just saw on YouTube Marnus says in SA it's 'Labu-skuck-knee'.
I guess it depends which kraal you come from...
Definitely has captaincy potential.

According to Marnis, 'labu-shane' is the dumbed down version because the proper way is too hard!
I'm a big fan, his temperament and mindset are ideal for the longer formats of the game. Leaves balls, moves his feet and forces the bowler to bowl at him and when they do he scores. He's everything these domestic T20 stars (who struggle at international level, shield cricket and are hopeless test players) of ours aren't and to me that's a breath of fresh air. He's someone I can see getting better and better purely because he has a decent technique and a good mindset for the game. Unfortunately this is something which has become exceedingly rare with batsmen in our
Added bonus is that he is a better than part time bowler and he needs to be counted and used more as an all-rounder.

Would be a solid choice. Is being psycho-analytical, but he just seems to have that scrappiness about him that a captain needs to build a team culture.

I for one welcome our new captain, Mark Lambshanks.

Like this bloke. He’s a fighter and it’s exactly what we needed in our batting order imo. Probably the batsman I’m looking forward to watching most this summer. Hoping he can bang out a ton early on, he deserves it.
If that's the same interview I am thinking of, he also says that he prefers non-Afrikaans speakers to pronounce it "La-boo-shane".
