Marnus Labuschagne hopes he has returned to form after making 64 against India in Adelaide but he admits it is a little early to stay he is back to his best.

“It’s nice to be in the runs and help the team be in position to win the game in the first session of day three,” Labuschagne told Fox Cricket.

“There was obviously a lot of talk through the week and I just got back to what I know best and that’s hitting heaps and heaps of cricket balls and watching heaps of footage and working out where I thought I was falling short.

“It’s a bit early to speak but I was able to find it that innings.”

The star batter paused when asked if he had felt the pressure, then he explained his feelings.

“One thing that has been very consistent with this team has been the selection policy and process – it has been very consistent,” he said.

“So, internally, there was not as much but, externally, you know that when you are not playing well, you can’t hide from it, you can’t shirk it, you have to find a way out and, for me, that’s being true to myself and how I got here as a player and that’s hit lots of ball, talk about it, speak to people and find my feet.”

“The series now, 1-1. Last week we lost a Test and were, apparently, the worst team ever and this week we finished on day three with the series at one all. It’s nice there is so much talk about the game.”
