Australian cricketer Marnus Labuschagne plans to adopt a strategy similar to Cheteshwar Pujara's to wear down India's pace attack in an upcoming Test series. He believes playing the 'long game' will be crucial in tiring out the relatively inexperienced Indian bowlers over a five-match series.

Labuschagne, who bowls medium pace as well as leg spin, bowled a barrage of bouncers to skipper Pat Cummins and pacer Mitchell Starc at the nets on Monday

"Playing the long game" to keep the India bowlers on the field for as long as possible might work best for Australia, says Marnus Labuschagne | ESPN.com

Marnus Labuschagne insisted that Australia will have to guard against complacency against India despite their historic loss.

Marnus Labuschagne, speaking to reporters in Perth on Tuesday, cautioned against underestimating India even as the visitors arrived in Australia on the back of a shocking 0-3 defeat to New Zealand in a home Test series.
