Marnus Labuschagne becomes 2nd Australian to get this rare achievement

Marnus Labuschagne achievement: Labuschagne ‘s golden start to the NRMA Insurance Test summer has seen him become just the second Australian to score centuries in three consecutive innings on two separate occasions.

Marnus Labuschagne achievement: 2nd hat-trick came against West Indies :-

Labuschagne’s second hat-trick came under lights during day one of the Adelaide pink-ball Test against West Indies, as the tireless right-hander waltzed to his 10th century under lights.

The 28-year-old square-drove Devon Thomas for four to reach a patient hundred off 186 deliveries, celebrating with a kiss of the badge on his helmet and a long embrace with batting partner Travis Head.

Labuschagne’s first hat trick came against Pakistan in 2019 :-

Labuschagne, having blazed scores of 185, 162 and 143 against Pakistan in late 2019, had already been among the Australian men to have posted three centuries in three consecutive Test innings, a group that includes the likes of Sir Donald Bradman and Adam Gilchrist.

But he now joins David Warner as the only Aussies in an even more exclusive club of batters to have achieved the feat twice.

The only other players to have done the hat-trick twice are Kumar Sangakkara (in 2013 and then 2014) and Aravinda de Silva (both instances coming in 1997).

Three consecutive centuries by other Australians :-

The other Australians to have done it once along with Bradman, Warner and Gilchrist are Arthur Morris, Charlie Macartney, Jack Fingleton and Warren Bardsley.

Marnus Labuschagne has now hit centuries in four of his last five Test innings having posted 104 in the first innings of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle in June.
