Australia, led by Pat Cummins, suffered a nine-wicket defeat against Bangladesh in the first Test at the Marrara Cricket Ground, their first-ever loss to the visitors on home soil. The national selectors will meet on Monday to assess the top-order batting lineup before the second Test at Great Barrier Reef Arena.
“We want runs is the bottom line. I think it was 31 he got in the second innings, and up until the point he got out, you'd sit there and say he was looking good.”
“It's one thing to talk about the player. You've got to talk coaching. We've got to get the best out of Marn as well. And we're working through that. I think we saw some change in the way that he played, so that's good.”
You Can Try to Make These Changes - Andrew McDonald on Marnus Labuschagne
The batter had already faced selection pressure after being dropped against the West Indies last year. He responded strongly in domestic cricket, scoring five centuries in nine innings for Queensland across Sheffield Shield and one-day cricket.

Jake Weatherald is also under pressure after scoring 23 and 0 in Darwin. The opener averages 20.36 from 12 Test innings and had made changes to his stance and movement after the Ashes to reduce the risk of lbw dismissals.
"There was some change to Jake in terms of where he lined up and his movement patterns," McDonald said. "It's always hard to critique small sample sizes as to whether it holds up. [He] dragged one on, drove at one in the first innings and was dismissed. "It's probably harder with that smaller sample size to say, yep, that's going to hold up under pressure."
The Queensland batter scored three Sheffield Shield centuries in 10 innings last season and averaged 49.90. He also has an impressive record at the Great Barrier Reef Arena. Renshaw has scored 170 and 135 in two of his three Sheffield Shield innings in Mackay.
