Labuschagne back in form ahead of South Africa Test

Original: Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne set for South Africa Test after first ton in 11 months By Australian Associated Press Bat

Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne has scored his first century in 11 months, making 111 against a Cricket South Africa Invitation XI. The innings positions him for selection in Australia's upcoming Test series against South Africa, ending a prolonged run of poor form for the former world number one Test batter.

Why now: His long-awaited century, just before a Test series against South Africa, ends an 11-month drought and puts him in line for selection.
