Marnus Labuschagne has made only a fleeting attacking cameo on his return to county cricket while another Australian Test stalwart Cameron Bancroft showed him the way with a second straight hundred.
Labuschagne, an ever-popular figure with Welsh county Glamorgan for whom he's made a sackful of runs, missed out in his first appearance of the season in Cardiff on Friday, much to the locals' disappointment.
Having been put in to bat by Middlesex, the Australian star was asked to take up an unfamiliar spot as opener and evidently decided the best policy to counter the early movement was to go on the offensive.
